Meatloaf:

"We were barely 17 and we were barely dressed"...

I hate this fkn song

why am i not surprised you have no taste


NEWAYS

the first one i thought of is "15" by rilo kiley. it's probably the best song on under the blacklight (which actually isn't saying much, but still)

He was deep like a graveyard
She was ripe as a peach
And how could he have known that she was only fifteen?
She was only, only, only fifteen
Well she was only, only, only fifteen

[AAFitz]

Meatloaf:

"We were barely 17 and we were barely dressed"...

I hate this fkn song

why am i not surprised you have no taste

Why am I not surprised you would like it.

The reason I hate it, is because of annoying girls singing it constantly. Believe me, everyone in that dorm hated that song by the end of the semester...well, except for the annoying girls that is.

For the record, I only have time to listen to great music. Meatloaf is not great music. Im sure many would agree that it is not even good music.

Frank Sinatra - It Was a Very Good Year

When I was seventeen
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls
And soft summer nights
Wed hide from the lights
On the village green
When I was seventeen

When I was twenty-one
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls
Who lived up the stair
With all that perfumed hair
And it came undone
When I was twenty-one

When I was thirty-five
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
Of independent means
Wed ride in limousines
Their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty-five

But now the days grow short
Im in the autumn of the year
And now I think of my life as vintage wine
from fine old kegs
from the brim to the dregs
And it poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year

It was a mess of good years

[Gilligan]

Alone Again (Naturally)

Now looking back over the years,
And what ever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to have cried the tears
And at sixty-five years old,
My mother, God rest her soul,
Couldn't understand, why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start with a heart
So badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally

Then there's that Christmas song, but I forget the name.

To kids, from 1 to 92....

[Skittles!]

Brand New - Soco Amaretto Lime

Passed out on the overpass
Sunday best and broken glass
Broken down from the bikes and bars
Suspended like spirits over speeding cars
You and me were kings over the parkway tonight
And tonight will go on forever while we
walk around this town like we own the streets
and stay awake through summer like we own the heat
Singing "everybody wake up (wake up) it's time to get down"
(everybody, everybody wake up its time to get down)
And when I pass the bottle back to Pete
on the overpass tonight, I bet we laugh

I'm gonna stay eighteen forever (cut me open)
So we can stay like this forever (sun poisoned)
And we'll never miss a party (this offer...)
cause we keep them going constantly (...stands forever)
And we'll never have to listen (new haircut)
to anyone about anything (new bracelet)
cause it's all been done and it's all been said (eyeliner)
we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get

The hell out of this town
Find some conversation
The low fuel lights been on for days
It doesn't mean anything
I've got another 500, 'nother 500 miles
before we shut this engine down,
we shut it down

I'm gonna stay eighteen forever (cut me open)
So we can stay like this forever (sun poisoned)
And we'll never miss a party (this offer...)
cause we keep them going constantly (...stands forever)
And we'll never have to listen (new haircut)
to anyone about anything (new bracelet)
cause it's all been done and it's all been said (eyeliner)
we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get (wait forever)

(you're just jealous cause I'm young and in love)
Eighteen forever (first kisses)
(your stomach's filled up but you're starved for conversation)
So we can stay like this forever (new stitches)
(you're spending all your nights growing old in your bed)
And we'll never miss a party (collar weekend)
(and your tearin up your photos cause you wanna forget... it's over)
cause we keep them going constantly (appearance ticket)
(you're just jealous cause I'm young and in love)
And we'll never have to listen (November to...)
(your stomach's filled up but you're starved for conversation)
to anyone about anything cause it's all been done (...remember)
(you're spending all your nights growing old in your bed)
and it's all been said (nightswimmers)
(and your tearin up your photos cause you wanna forget... it's over)
we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get

Just jealous cause we're young and in love
You're just jealous cause we're young and in love
You're just jealous cause we're young and in love
You're just jealous cause we're young and in love
You're just jealous cause we're young and in love
You're just jealous...

The Adverts
No time to be 21

On YouTube

[spoiler=lyrics]Life's short, don't make a mess of it.
To the ends of the earth,
you'll look for a sense
in it.
No chances, no plans.
I'll smash the windows of my box.
I'll be a madman.
It's no time to be 21,
To be anyone.

Hold back, see what you miss of it.
Out of the shadows, into
the thick of it.
No maybes, no guessing.
I'm getting wound up.
The plot sickens.
It's no time to be 21,
To be anyone.

Strip down to the bare facts of it.
Into the cold heart, no hope
and all that shit.
No chances, no plans.
I think I'll be somebody else.
Or else a madman.
It's no time to be 21,
To be anyone.

We'll be your untouchables.
We'll be your outcasts.
We don't care what you projects on us.
It's no time to be 21.[/spoiler]

Damn good song.

If you get there before I do - Colin Raye

I read a note my grandma wrote back in 1923
Grandpa kept it in his coat and he showed it once to me
He said boy you might not understand
But a long, long time ago
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none
But I love your grandma so

We had this crazy plan to meet
And run away together
Get married in the first town we came to and live forever
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet instead
I found this letter
And this is what it said

If you get there before I do
Don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
And between now and then ‘til I see you again
I'll be loving you, love me

I read those words just hours before my grandma past away
In the door way of a church
Where me and grandpa stopped to pray
I know I'd never seen him cry in all my 15 years
But as he said these words to her
His eyes filled up with tears

If you get there before I do
Don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
And between now and then ‘til I see you again
I'll be loving you, love me
Between now and then ‘til I see you again
I'll be loving you, love me

Sweet Sixteen - Hillary Duff

Today I'm gonna ride away
And feel the sun throughout my hair
Finally free to be who I wanna be
Who that is I don't really care

'Cuz I've got friends who love me
Blue skies are above me
My blonde hair is everywhere

[Chorus:]
Sweet sixteen
Gonna spread my wings

STRAY CATS - (She's) Sexy And 17

Hey , man , I don't feel like goin' to school no more
Me neither . They can't make you go . No you daddyo yeah !

Dig that sound shake it around you're mine , mine , mine

All Summer Long by Kid Rock
note, the lyrics aren't in order, just the lines with numbers.
It was 1989, my thoughts were short my hair was long
She was seventeen and she was far from in-between
The Aggie Song from Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
76 miles until we get to Heaven, 76 miles until our plans are made, 76 miles until we get to the chicken ranch!
(also substitute 100 and 1 for 76)

[Thezzaruz]

A Swedish artist going under the name of Hello Saferide has a song called "X Telling Me About The Loss Of Som Thing Dear, At Age 16", but the actual lyric doesn't contain an age reference though.

Forty-two, thirty-nine, fifty-six

three-six-two-four-three-six

Number of the Beast

I think you missed the part about it being about age and just any old numbers.
