YOUTH – A song about the fumbling, bumbling, awkward days of youth.
I miss performing, writing, rehearsing and the general atmosphere around the band I left in Melbourne FOLK IN THE ROAD.
Here is a song we collaborated on and performed at The Catfish in Fitzroy.

LYRICS
He has the wheels the money and the deals all the gear to ask her out but still the doubt
What does he say to make the play and will she just walk away
It’s so hard when you’re young and not sure of your run to take a chance that she may want to dance
So he sits back and wonders if it would all just be a blunder
He undresses all the girls with his eyes can’t muster the courage to just say hi
So he stands at the side as the dancers go by to unsure of himself to ask her to fly
He sits in the sand and considers a plan but to scared of rejection to take a stand
Summer days Malibu Beach bikini clad girls all within reach
How will he know when it’s time to just go
Will it come in a dream or does he just scheme
Does he just come of age or is it revealed by sage
If he ever grows up will he have the right stuff
But damn it’s strange to be so mis-arranged
Young girls in curls yet to be twirled
Who knows what they’re thinking are they ripe of the asking
Can’t see it in their eyes you don’t know if they lie
so he just smiles as he watches her pass by
Someday he’ll be wise won’t need a disguise just being he will be enough
He won’t be tricked by wonder or afraid to go under
He won’t need to plead or do some great deed just be himself to get off the shelf
He’ll know it’s just he and that’s all he’ll need to succeed
How will he know when it’s time to just go
Will it come in a dream or does he just scheme
Does he just come of age or is it revealed by sage
If he ever grows up will he have the right stuff
Ask her out don’t live in doubt She’ll be sitting at home dreading being alone
Grow up stand tall ask her to the ball get real she might like the deal
Maybe the girl is just as worried as you maybe she wants to go out too
A trip to the beach might just be a treat your eyes might meet right there on the beach
And look you have finally found your feet look you’ve finally found your feet.
