Allow me to introduce them, men of wealth and waste Social misfits, satanic majesties, rock and roll outlaws Touched by the glimmer, touched by the glimmer, touched by the glimmer within They were the house band at Ultimo And it wasn’t ‘Sympathy for the Devil’ that was played whilst Hunter was killed It was ‘Under my thumb’, Under My Thumb? What does that song mean? What does that song mean? Out of our heads Music and dancing was going to change everything But most people just wanted to have a good time Tell me what’s your name? Tell me, what’s your name? What’s your name? No need for a name There the greatest rock and roll band in the world They’re not satanic, they’re just a dark force of nature Very naughty boys, elevated, illuminated, deified They weren’t a message, they were an expression Out of our heads What’s your name? There was anarchy but a lot of idealism And for a while everything was alright Sharpen, shaman, androgynous, sex, vampire Touched by the rhythm, touched by the rhythm within Who’s that? Who’s that? Who’s that? Don’t you do that, don’t you do that They were persecuted, vilified, prosecuted for their beliefs But the world was going to change It was like a great tidal wave No one realized it was about to break No one foresaw the rise of the corporation These boys were going to become some of the richest in the world Playing on all your favorite radio stations What’s my name? Tell me what your name?

Young 02:35
And we had a really great fun time And we swam every day We played in the sand on the beaches And we also played a game of putt-putt golf I won by one hole And then we went to the um, Ahh, what is it called? And we each got an ice cream From this ice cream parlour in there And it’s a funny thing, cos, In the ahh, waves, in the sea You couldn’t really taste the salt, There was hardly any salt in there And it was really fun… When we were Young, I think it’s really great When we were Young, and it was really fun When we were Young, I think it’s really great When we were Young The next day afterwards We, um, I dived into the sand, you know, a couple of times And so my face was all sandy, you know, And I had swallowed sand, and it was all sandy But it was really really great fun And so then we went back and had a swim to clean ourselves off It was really nice…… When we were Young, I think it’s really great When we were Young, and it was really fun When we were Young, I think it’s really great When we were Young When we were Young

Happy Ghosts They’re hiding in the bushes, on the edge of town They’re hiding in the bushes, all around Happy Ghosts Be kind to their families, be careful with they’re soul, tall That’s what this world is all about Something beautiful, something beautiful Beautiful…………. They’re wondering about the common good, wondering about what it is They’re naughty by nature, but kind of heart Glowing in the distance, glowing serene Happy Ghosts ‘I want to make beautiful, I want to make beautiful I want to make, happy, happy, happy!’ They’re kicking tumbleweeds, blowing in the wind There magpies in the kitchen, but you know they hate that domestic shit Something beautiful Happy Ghosts They’re singing kinda crazy Baying at the roof They’re trying to sound scrutible But coming up crystal clear ‘I want to make beautiful, I want to make beautiful I want to make, happy, happy, happy!’ Glowing in the distance, glowing serene Happy Ghosts!
