Screaming Jets, The - Starting Out Lyrics






What a lovely way to start a Saturday
And what a lovely time I'm having too
There is no other way I'd spend my Saturday
In fact there's nothing else I'd rather do

That may be so but what about the turns and the temptations
You keep hanging there
Starting out it doesn't take the best of me
The hard part's when it gets towards the end
Starting out it doesn't take the best of me
The solitude ends up my only friend

Maybe I'm supposed to be your enemy
Maybe I'm supposed to be your friend
Maybe you don't wanna know me
And maybe you're set on demands
And maybe you don't even understand

That may be so but what about the turns and the temptations
You keep hanging there
Starting out it doesn't take the best of me
The hard part's when it gets towards the end
Starting out it doesn't take the best of me
That's when the solitude ends

Up my only friend
My only friend
My only friend

Starting out it doesn't take the best of me
You know the hard part's when it gets towards the end
Starting out it doesn't take the best of me
Well I said
The solitude ends up my only friend
Starting out it doesn't take the best of me
That's when the solitude ends

Up my only friend
My only friend
My only friend

    I remember the first time heard their music it was on Harley Davidson and the Marlboro man movie back in the 90s. It was stop the world. Badass song. Been listening to them ever sense. And I'm from utah. But tracking down and finding their cds is hard over here.

  5. C.... ....

    The singer messes up a line. The first two times he says "And you don't have to please them, or try hard to save your name". But the last time he just says "you don't have to please them, or try hard...".
