I was blinded by the lights I saw reflecting in their eyes

It blinded me from the sea of everybody's smiles

I was young at best so I thought I'd test the night

I thought that we could leave before the lights fell down

I wasn't listening



Chorus:

So carry on young gentlemen

Well I have done all that I can

And I have done all that I'll stand for

Carry on young gentlemen

I have done all that I can

I have done all that I'll stand for



We left after dark, the sun had fallen for the moon

And all the moments raced, its going way too fast its way too soon

So i sat alone before a moment they came back

Now i'm stuck right here reeling in the slack now 

from my previous nights



Chorus



Deliver me now from everything we should not do

It's so unpredictable, but still you know just what you're gonna do

And even the moments that fall flat

Something is different, even though its hard to mean that

I wasn't listening



Chorus



I'll stand for something, i'll stand for something

I will stand for something, yeah



So carry on young gentlemen

I have done all that i can

and I have done all that I'll stand for

I have done all that i'll stand for
