Live 'Til I Die

[00:14.36] I was born out of wedlock on the seventeenth day
[00:18.05] Of the third month of 75
[00:22.11] I watched my daddy working every hour God sends
[00:25.37] Just to keep all of my dreams alive
[00:28.61] I was the eldest of three, the pressure never got to me
[00:32.63] I guess I had a vision of how everybody should be
[00:36.94] Thinking not of what they'll miss, oh
[00:40.24] Until we're standing at the edge of the abyss
[00:43.41] Live 'til I die
[00:46.95] I laugh 'til I cry
[00:50.78] Live 'til I die
[00:53.93] I laugh 'til I cry
[01:00.26] 'Cause I know what I'm looking for
[01:02.95] I won't listen any more
[01:06.59] Any more
[01:11.52] Well, I went through some changes at the age of 14
[01:15.26] And discovered all the joys of rock wear
[01:19.37] I made a point of wearing unfeasibly tight jeans
[01:22.55] And endeavoured just to grow my hair
[01:25.86] Oh, but kids can be cruel, I wasn't popular at school
[01:30.30] I became the subject of a campaign of ridicule
[01:34.07] But I'll stick by my guns, oh
[01:37.33] And rise above the laughter of the ignorant ones
[01:40.80] And live 'til I die
[01:44.07] I laugh 'til I cry
[01:47.95] Live 'til I die
[01:51.12] I laugh 'til I cry
[01:57.50] 'Cause I know what I'm looking for
[02:00.35] I won't listen any more
[02:04.11] Any more
[02:08.67] Oh, and the soundest advice I ever heard a man give
[02:12.81] Was daddy on the subject of the way I wanna live
[02:16.76] "If that's the path you wish to tread, ooh
[02:20.78] Put all your clothes back on, and take it off of your head
[02:23.89] 'Cause I'll always be here and if you freeze I'll talk you down
[02:27.98] You don't have to feel obliged to act the high school clown
[02:31.60] I know you've got what it takes, ooh
[02:35.43] And if you want to you can learn from your mistakes"
[02:38.71] And live 'til you die
[02:42.22] Laugh 'til you cry
[02:45.68] Live 'til you die
[02:49.00] And laugh 'til you cry
[02:53.45]
