    Cruel To Be Young LYRICS
    Got a letter from my woman just the other day
    Telling me how good she feels, big deal
    It only adds to my ever increasing loneliness
    And you know what that means
    Oh girl, don't cry, cause I wanna live, I don't wanna die
    I'm here with you but you're so far away
    I know it's wrong, but I don't relate and I don't belong
    I'm here with you but you're so far away
    It's so cruel to be young, and the songs you wanna sing have all been sung
    It's no fun, to be living right now
    All of the wars have been won
    There's nothing anymore worth dying for
    I'm so bored
    You're so far away
    So far away
    There's a place I know where everybody wants to go
    Sipping coffee vaseline, ice cream
    I could go there but I know I won't enjoy myself
    And you know what that means
    I fly so high, that I hit the ground and I wanna die
    I'm here with you but you're so far away
    I know It's wrong, but I don't relate to what's going on
    I'm here with you but you're so far away
    It's so cruel to be young, and the songs you wanna sing have all been sung
    It's no fun, to be living right now
    All of the wars have been won
    And there's nothing anymore worth dying for
    I'm so bored
    You're so far away
    So far away
    So far away
    Leave it
    I get so high that I can't look myself in the eye
    I'm here with you but you're so far away, babe
    You're so far away, babe
    You're so far away, babe
    You're so far away
    So far away
    So far away
    So far away (repeat)
    Lyrics transcribed by Mike Spencer and Floofboye

      @@mattsephton The tape was sold to me by a Discogs user who obtained it as part of a collection belonging to Geoff Travis of Rough Trade, who was given the tape by Gregg in about 1997 or so. It uses commercial blank tape, so it's likely that Gregg dubbed the tape himself. The versions of "Gotta Stay High" and "Someday We'll Know" are nearly identical to the New Radicals versions save for being rough mixes, so this would have been somewhat into production of the album. Stay tuned for the song by song /biography book on Gregg I am writing titled "Lost Stars", it will be out in the near future :)

    there is no artist out there that makes me wish they still made music or atleast released more of it like gregg, his unreleased work is amazing and even the demos that arnt supposed to be released are better than the fully realized song like game of love and so on.

    Im blown away by it. It sounds like this could have been done around the time of the NR album but wasnt included on the album.

    Sounds like a 70s song...i can imagine maybe David Bowie, maybe Elton John or Paul Mccartney or any 70s brit singer doing this, maybe even some early 80s singer.
    This is just amazing!!!!!!
