The Courteeners – Not Nineteen Forever

0:00 Intro/Instrumental 0:15

0:15 She tried to peel me off the pavement 0:19

0:19 Tried to insinuate sometimes 0:22

0:22 I am in danger of going to far 0:26

0:29 Asked me would I like to go for tea and toast 0:34

0:34 Get your hand off my thigh 0:37

0:38 In the car she turned to me and said 0:42

0:42 You’re not nineteen forever, pull yourselves together 0:47

0:49 I know it seems strange but things, they change 0:54

0:56 Older woman and a younger man 1:01

1:03 Both of them doing all they can 1:07

1:07 Instrumental 1:17

1:17 Tried to get your attention all night long 1:22

1:22 Asked you once, I asked you twice, asked you four times 1:26

1:26 If you’d like to dance to that song 1:29

1:29 Front crawled the crowd down the stairs 1:33

1:33 And I followed you out in the rain, nowhere to be found 1:37

1:37 Never mind, you’ll probably never look that pretty again 1:43

1:44 You’re not nineteen forever, pull yourselves together 1:49

1:50 I know it seems strange but things, they change 1:55

1:58 Older woman and an ever so slightly younger man 2:03

2:03 God bless the band, they’re doing all they can 2:08

2:09 Instrumental 2:24

2:25 You’re not nineteen forever, pull yourselves together 2:30

2:32 I know it seems strange but things, they change 2:37

2:39 Older woman and an ever so slightly younger man 2:44

2:44 God bless the band, they’re doing all they can 2:50

2:51 Instrumental 3:00

3:00 You’re not nineteen forever 3:02

3:03 You’re not nineteen forever 3:05

3:06 You’re not nineteen forever 3:09

3:09 It’s not big, it’s definitely not clever 3:13

3:13 Instrumental/Song fades 3:23
