You may recognise this gem from the recent New Zealand ads running on UK TV; that’s certainly where I first heard Forever Young by Youth Group. It’s ace! Lyrics:

Let’s dance in style, let’s dance for a while
Heaven can wait, we’re only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?

Let us die on, let us live forever
Don’t have the power but we never say never
Sitting in the sandpit life is a short trip
Music’s for the sad man

Can you imagine when this race is run
Turning up our faces into the sun
Praising our leaders getting in tune
Music’s played by the mad man

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are melodies, some are the beat
Sooner or later they’ll all be gone
Why don’t they stay on?

It’s hard to get on without a cause
I don’t want to perish like a fading voice
Youth is like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever…
