Someone help me identify this song.....  I think it might be from the late 70's. It sounds like an Elton John-style piano rock song, but I'm sure it's not him. It can't be one of those English Punk bands like The Boomtown Rats or The Undertones or Squeeze either. But it is strangely similar. The lyrics and sounds are pretty catchy though. I think they go like:
 "We are young, we are free/(er, something something)/in the sea/See the sounds, see the sights, feel allllright...."
Does anybody know that one? [Edited 6/20/05 17:53pm] NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

Does anybody know that one? It definitely sounds like you're describing Alright by Supergrass. That's from the mid-nineties, though... | |

Your description matches the song perfectly, though. Piano based hook, punkish, melodic, and the words you gave are a close match as well. Here are the full lyrics to the Supergrass song: We are young, we run green Keep our teeth nice and clean See out friends, see the sights Feel alright! We wake up, we go out Smoke a fag, put it out See out friends, see the sights Feel alright! Are we like you? I can't be sure After seeing as she turns We are strange in our worlds But we are young We get by Can't go mad, 'aint got time Sleep around if we like But we're all right Got some cash, bought some wheels Took it out, 'cross some fields Lost control, hit a wall But we're alright Are we like you? I can't be sure On the scene as she turns We are strange in our worlds But we are young, we've gone green We've got teeth nice and clean See out friends, see the sights Feel alright! But we are young, we've gone green We've got teeth nice and clean See out friends, see the sights Feel alright! | |

But we are young, we've gone green We've got teeth nice and clean See out friends, see the sights Feel alright! Well then, I guess it is that song. But damn for some reason I thought it was an old 70's song.  Supergrass is more like Indie/Power Pop to me. And I figured that kinda song couldn't come from a band like them.
Thanks.  NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |
