Subject: Lyr Req: COMING OF AGE (Any Trouble)
Can anyone fill in the missing lyrics (there's quite a few!):
I can taste the poison on your lips And see the stain on your fingertips In a moment where ??? And gave the game away
??? Teenage threats ring in your ears From the last day of school to your first week's wage That's when you see me coming of age
You're a dancehall sweetheart dressed in blue Who could fail to notice you? You take the floor, kick off your shoes And dance the night away
Kerbside crawlers give you rides You're everyone's lover and no one's prize A friend or a whore, it's hard to gauge That's when you see me coming of age
Your face is known all over town Your reputation lets you down ??? smiles, nothing too ??? They turn their heads away
??? rumours cramp your style ??? rank and file Lights go down, you leave the stage That's when you see me coming of age
Your dancing days are over now The steps you take seem to last for hours Though you may never scrape or bow Or pass the time of day
Your ideal man's no ??? ??? promise, quite a view A girl to a woman in a single page That's when you see me coming of age
Your last chance has passed you by You're no one's lover, no one's prize You're one poor bird ??? the cage That's when you see me coming of age
That's when you see me That's when you see That's when you see me coming of age
