Lyrics:

Well, I never got my license to live
They won't give it up
So I stand at the world's edge

I'm trying to break in
Oh, I know it's not for me
And the sight of it all
Makes me sad and ill
That's when I want- Some Weird Sin

Things get too straight
I can't bear it
I feel stuck, stuck on a pin

I'm trying to break in
Oh, I know it's not for me
But the sight of it all
Makes me sad and ill
That's when I want- Some Weird Sin
That's when I want- Some Weird Sin
Just to relax with

Yeah, some dumb, weird sin
For a while anyway
With my head on the ledge
That's what you get out on the edge
Some Weird Sin

Things get too straight
I can't bear it
I feel stuck, stuck on a pin

I'm trying to break in
Oh, I know it's not for me
When the sight of it all
Makes me sad and ill
That's when I want- Some Weird Sin
That's when I want- Some Weird Sin
Just to relax with

That's some dumb weird sin
For a while anyway
With my head out on the ledge
That's what you get out on the edge
Some Weird sin

Some weird sin, Some weird sin, etc

I really dig this song, 'Sweet Sixteen', and 'Neighborhood Threat'. Overall, it's an excellent album.

"I never got my license to live."

It is legendary album, Passenger and Lust For Life are legends. But in case there is two great songs these other songs can't get honour they earn. I mean that melody is just awesome but this isnt the songs they play in radio. This album is really a PUNK rock album that is why great melodies are unusual in this kind of music.

[nilsrulz]

could not have said it better. Underrated and underappreciated, one of the best rock albums of all time, track for track.

Grandissimo Ricky Gardiner alla chitarra! Che pezzo, che disco.

[Ruiner10000000001]
