When I was a younger man, didn’t have a care didn’t need no plans
On my face you’d never see a frown
Something came death from above, strange little thing L.O.V.E E E love
Like the fresh prince I was turned upside down
I tell you something, ill tell you the truth; I gave a woman the last of my youth
I came back a dishevelled man
Cos you cant take back what you given away
Got to grow it all back from scratch someday
Got to do the best I can with these cans
Drink em down.
I lost my soul at 24, got so much longer to go
Yeah you still got yours, hold on,
Hold on
Princess of pain the agony queen, sure knew her way around being mean
Wasn’t heaven or earth if you know what I mean
(One hell of a scene)
Cos you cant unscramble an egg, or unring a bell
Un-annihilate the soul of a man in hell
You can sleep when you’re dead,
And I'm feeling pretty damn tired
The meaning of life is to feel alive, but when the soul is stripped and the body survives
What’s the use, what’s the point, what’s that smell?
When the soul strips itself of its own accord, put your clothes back on your as drunk as a lord
I ask you again, what’s that smell?
Stinky
I lost my soul at 24, got so much longer to go
Yeah you still got yours, hold on,
Hold on
Youth is wasted on the young, young and dumb and full of something
I don’t understand anymore
Youth is wasted on the young, I should know cos I used to be one
2, 3, 24
Old man, look at my life, 24 and so much more
Doesn’t mean that much to me, to mean that much to you
24 he made a masterpiece
At 24 I made a shatsterpeice of my life
And I did get lost, rolling away from you
Sink it down
I lost my soul at 24, got so much longer to go
Yeah you still got yours, hold on,
Hold on
Hey young man! How old are you?
Do you still got your soul?
Hey young man take care of that,
It’s the only one you’ll ever know.

Do You Still:
Horn arrangement by Mikey Butcher
Solo: Mateusz
I was initially drawn toward Vulfpeck's earlier instrumental tracks. This album effectively earned my respect for their vocal works. Listening to "Running Away" and "Baby I Don't Know" is like uncovering buried gems from the 1970's. "Hero Town" sounds like an instrumental outtake from Three Dog Night's "Hard Labor" album with deeper bass, earning my respect for Jack Stratton's mixing skills. I would love to see him do a masterclass for mixing in the Vulf Conservatory. t0cktock
