lyrics

Nobody's dancing at the club tonight
Turntable's silent and the door's shut tight
We stand in groups beneath the entrance light
Taken too soon

We heard the news in the early hours
The pain was theirs, the loss is ours
Somebody marked the spot with flowers
Taken too soon

A boys' night out in another town
The tank was full, the driver's foot was down
Misjudged the distance in the dark
The squeal of brakes, a sudden spark
A flash of fire, a muffled shout
Riding in the back seat, riding in the back seat
There's no way out

And when they come to try to lay the blame
To understand this crying shame
They'll write these words beneath your name
Taken too soon

A boys' night out in another town
The tank was full, the driver's foot was down
Misjudged the distance in the dark
The squeal of brakes, a sudden spark
A flash of fire, a muffled shout
Riding in the back seat, riding in the back seat
There's no way out

And when they come to try to lay the blame
To understand this crying shame
They'll write these words beneath your name
Taken too soon
