that dangerous age

Paul Weller

(Shoop... Shoop)
And when he wakes up in the morning
It takes him time to adjust
So sick and tired of the money
(Shoop, he's at that dangerous age)
And all the life that is lost
(Shoop, he's at that dangerous age)

If he could only get it back
How high the world would start to stack
And every chance he gets to fly
He goes far - in his car

He likes three sugars in his coffee
(Shoop, he's at that dangerous age)
He wants that chick in the office
(Shoop, he's at that dangerous age)
He's took to staying up late
(Shoop, he's at that dangerous age)
He's on a much higher rate
(Shoop, he's at that dangerous age)

And in those seconds of a frame
He stops to see and takes the blame
And any chance he gets to run
He goes far - in his car - travelling far

She wears her skirt so much higher
She has the air of a high flyer
(Shoop, she's at that dangerous age)
She gets out on the shooting range
(Shoop, she's at that dangerous age)
And all her friends think she's changed
(Shoop, she's at that dangerous age)
She's at that dangerous age
(Shoop, they're at that dangerous age)
She's at that dangerous age
(Shoop, they're at that dangerous age)

(Shoop, she's at that dangerous age)
(Shoop, she's at that dangerous age)

And when he wakes up in the morning
It takes him time to adjust
So sick and tired of the money
And all the life that is lost
