About

60s were Great! We were Young & Electric!

Lyrics

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Sitting in the train car

A teenage kid with a stack of Chess

Muddy Waters on the tin roof

Ringing in my chest

Mick was on the platform

Mouth full of the same

We were just two London boys

Humming what we came from

Pre-Chorus

So we started a band

Ain't that how it goes

Just a rhythm and a rented room

Chorus

We were young and electric

Tearing at the seams

Playing Chicago records

Like they were our dreams

Oh we were young and electric

And the whole town could feel it

Post-Chorus

Alright (alright)

Come on (come on)

Yeah yeah

Verse 2

Basement in the city

Wires on the wall

Brian Jones with a slide guitar

And a hunger for it all

Bill kept time behind us

Keith just wouldn't quit

Charlie came in later

And locked the whole thing in

Pre-Chorus

Then a corner club on a Sunday

Word got around

Ten people turned to a hundred

Chorus

We were young and electric

Tearing at the seams

Playing Chicago records

Like they were our dreams

Oh we were young and electric

And the whole town could feel it

Post-Chorus

Alright (alright)

Come on (come on)

Yeah yeah

Bridge

Blue and lonesome

Loud and alive

We didn't know the decade

Was ours to drive

Guitar Solo

Chorus

We were young and electric

Burning like a match

Every night a new city

Every note a scratch

Oh we were young and electric

And the whole town could feel it

Post-Chorus

Alright (alright)

Come on (come on)

Yeah yeah

Outro

Young and electric

Young and electric

Young and electric
