Young Savage Lyrics - Ultravox

The Jekyll-Hyde of you 

I can't survive the tide of you 

The vicious style of love, the whining 

Pits and pendulums of lying 

I don't see how you survive in 

Hard-line worlds you're advertising 

Sneaky features, facing, waiting 

City sex is so frustrating 

Young savage 

Young savage 

She's like a steel wall 

Speaks like a dance hall 

Young savage 

Young savage 

Anything goes where no-one knows your name 

The mirror love of vixens 

Gets over the mask of victims 

Money rents you insulation 

Tenderness, asphyxiation 

Someone else's flesh to borrow 

Sling it from your bed tomorrow 

Live too fast for love or sorrow 

Look behind the face, it's hollow 

Young savage 

Young savage 

She's like a steel wall 

Speaks like a dance hall 

Young savage 

Young savage 

Anything goes where no-one knows your name 

Young savage 

Young savage 

She's like a steel wall 

Speaks like a dance hall 

Young savage 

Young savage 

Anything goes where no-one knows your name 

The broken heart of you 

Who stole, who stole a part of you 

Changing blossoms into piss 

And taking bites from every kiss 

The past is dead, tomorrow's too far 

All the chemicals that bar us 

Coloured hair, cheap tattoos 

That tell you all their points of view 

Young savage 

Young savage 

She's like a steel wall 

Speaks like a dance hall 

Young savage 

Young savage 

Anything goes where no-one knows your name 

Condemned to be a stranger 

Subway dweller, dead-end danger 

Peeking through the dust of friends 

Who never gave, they'd only lend 

Every sneer is thrown away 

With practised gestures of disdain 

The outlaw stance is so pedantic 

Hate the world, it's so romantic 

Young savage 

Young savage 

She's like a steel wall 

Speaks like a dance hall 

Young savage 

Young savage 

Anything goes where no-one knows your name
