Never Get Old



In 1987 Sinéad O’Connor released her album called “The Lion And The Cobra”. An album on which she collaborates with Enya! The title of the album is from Psalm 91:13 “you will tread upon the lion and cobra”, and the track “Never Get Old” opens with a recital of Psalm 91 in Gaelic by Enya.

Young woman with a drink in her hand
She like to listen to rock and roll
She moves with the music
`Cause it never gets old
It's the only thing
That never gets old

Young man in a quiet place
Got a hawk on his arm
He loves that bird
Never does no harm
It's the only thing
That never can do no harm
Must be the only thing
That never can do no harm

Sun setting on the avenue
Everyone walks by
They live their life under cover
Being blind
Being blind
Being blind.
