I wanna be forever young

Tonight was our last show for Smoke International, and while it was fun and we had a great show, it was sad at the same time because I am going to miss my Fabian and Natasha very muchly indeed :(. Tonight is the first time it's really hit me that this is almost over... makes me feel quite sad, I've really had a brilliant time here, met some amazing people and I am really going to miss them.

The final song we played on the show was the (quite cool) cover of Forever Young by Australian band Youth Group. I really do wanna be forever young... and it was a sad song to finish off the show, completely different to when I introduced everyone to the wonderfulness that is the Cat Empire earlier in the day (Hello Hello was the first track we played today on the show, love it).

let's dance in style
let's dance for a while
heaven can wait we're only watching the sky
hoping for the best but expecting the worst
are you gonna drop the bomb or not
let us die young or let us live forever
dont have the power but we never say never
sitting in the sandpit
life is a short trip
music's for the sad man
can you imagine when this race is run
turn our golden faces into the sun
praisin our leaders, getting in tune
the music's played by the mad men
forever young, i want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever,
forever, forever
forever young, i want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever,
forever, forever
some like water and some are like the heat,
some are melodies, some are the beat,
sooner or later they'll all be gone,
why don't they stay out
it's hard to get on without a cause,
i don't want to perish like a fading voice,
youth is like diamonds in the sun,
diamonds are forever
so many adventures couldn't happen today
so many songs we forgot to play
so many dreams swinging out of the blue
left to come true
forever young, i want to be forever young,
do you really want to live forever
forever, forever...
