Live Fast Die Old Lyrics - Poetry Of The Deed - Frank Turner

I bought myself back from the devil 

Now I'm keeping it all for myself 

I'm taking myself out of the program 

Because I know what's best for my health 

So why live the dream like you're running out of sleep? 

I'm not playing to pass time, I'm playing for keeps 

We only just started and you're throwing the fight 

You'd rather burn out than fade away 

Well why not both, I plan to stay 

So let's do this once and let's do it right

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

I used to act like none of this mattered 

And I used to say I didn't care 

That we wouldn't be doing this forever 

But then the truth is that I was just scared 

So you put of a front to protect yourself 

But if we're down on the floor, why get back on the shelf? 

You can't change your outfit once the night has begun 

You've got the fuel, we've still got the fire 

So me and you, Jay, let's never retire 

Let's keep on making mistakes till we're done 

It won't last so be bold 

I'm gonna live fast and I'm gonna die old 

I'm gonna end my days in a house with high windows 

On the quiet shores in the southwest 

So you sort the tunes and I'll bring the beers 

And on my seventieth birthday I'll see you right here 

And together we'll watch the sun set 

Photos 

There's no one in my coffin 

There's nothing in my grave 

I'm tired of being damned 

Yeah I'd rather be saved 

And we can never sell out 

Because we never bought in 

And if they build it back up 

Then we'll swing back through town 

And burn the whole thing down again 

I'm gonna live fast and I'm gonna die old 

I'm gonna end my days in a house with high windows 

On the quiet shores in the southwest 

So you sort the tunes and I'll bring the beers 

And on my seventieth birthday I'll see you right here 

And together we'll watch the sun set 

It won't last so be bold 

Live fast, die old 

Choose your path, show soul 

Live fast, and die old
