The Courteeners – Not Nineteen Forever (Lyrics)

She tried to peel me off the pavement
Tried to insinuate that sometimes I am in danger of going too far
Said, “would I like to go for tea and toast?”
Get your hand off my thigh
In the car, she turned to me and said

You’re not nineteen forever, pull yourselves together
I know it seems strange
But things – they change
Older woman and a younger man
Both of them doing all they can

Tried to get your attention all night long
Asked you once, I asked you twice
Asked you four times if you’d like to dance to that song
Front crawled the crowd, down the stairs
And then I followed you out in the rain, nowhere to be found
Never mind, you’ll probably never look that pretty again

You’re not nineteen forever, pull yourselves together
I know it seems strange, but things – they change
Older woman and ever so slightly younger man
God bless the band, they’re doing all they can

You’re not nineteen forever, pull yourselves together
I know it seems strange
But things – they change
Older woman and ever so slightly younger man
God bless the band, they’re doing all they can

You’re not nineteen forever
You’re not nineteen forever
You’re not nineteen forever
It’s not big, you’re definitely not clever
