Czar’s Color of the Day<\/a> feature inspired me to try out a Lyrics of the Day feature, an idea that has been knocking around in my mind for some time now. Please let me know what you think and whether you have any suggestions. Although I know my music, I’m so terrible with lyrics sometimes that I may cut myself off… \ud83d\ude09 Anyway, I didn’t post this song to be pro- or anti-war; the lyrics just seemed to be appropriate:<\/p>\n

“Forever Young”<\/strong>
\n
Alphaville<\/a> – Forever Young<\/i><\/a> (Alphaville, 1984)<\/p>\n

Alphaville, \"Forever Young\"<\/a>Let’s dance in style,
\n
Let’s dance for a while
\n
Heaven can wait,
\n
We’re only watching the skies
\n
Hoping for the best
\n
But expecting the worst
\n
Are you going to drop the bomb or not??????
\n
Let us die young or let us live forever
\n
We don’t have the power
\n
But we never say never
\n
Sitting in a sandpit,
\n
Life is a short trip
\n
The music’s for the sad men
\n
Can you imagine when this race is won??
\n
Turn our golden faces into the sun
\n
Praising our leaders,
\n
We’re getting in tune
\n
The music’s played by the madmen<\/p>\n

Forever young, I want to be forever young
\n
Do you really want to live forever
\n
Forever – and ever<\/p>\n

Some are like water
\n
Some are like the heat
\n
Some are a melody and some are the beat
\n
Sooner or later, they all will be gone
\n
Why don’t they stay young?
\n
It’s so hard to get old without a cause
\n
I don’t want to perish like a fading horse
\n
Youth’s like diamonds in the sun
\n
And diamonds are forever
\n
So many adventures couldn’t happen today
\n
So many songs we forgot to play
\n
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
\n
We’ll let them come true<\/p>\n

Forever young…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
