Features vocals by Victoria Bergsman (The Concretes, Taken By Trees). According to the Young Folks Songfacts, the whistled hook was originally added by the trio as a marker for a future instrument before realizing that it was just what the song needed.
Lyrics:
[Verse 1: Peter Morén] If I told you things I did before Told you how I used to be Would you go along with someone like me? If you knew my story word for word Had all of my history Would you go along with someone like me? [Verse 2: Victoria Bergsman] I did before and had my share It didn't lead nowhere I would go along with someone like you It doesn't matter what you did Who you were hanging with We could stick around and see this night through [Chorus: Peter Morén & Victoria Bergsman] And we don't care about the young folks Talking 'bout the young style And we don't care about the old folks Talking 'bout the old style too And we don't care about their own faults Talking 'bout our own style All we care 'bout is talking Talking only me and you [Verse 3] Usually when things has gone this far People tend to disappear No one will surprise me unless you do I can tell there's something going on Hours seems to disappear Everyone is leaving I'm still with you It doesn't matter what we do Where we are going too We can stick around and see this night through [Chorus] And we don't care about the young folks Talking 'bout the young style And we don't care about the old folks Talking 'bout the old style too And we don't care about their own faults Talking 'bout our own style All we care 'bout is talking Talking only me and you [Chorus] And we don't care about the young folks Talking 'bout the young style And we don't care about the old folks Talking 'bout the old style too And we don't care about their own faults Talking 'bout our own style All we care 'bout is talking Talking only me and you [Outro: Victoria Bergsman] Talking only me and you Talking only me and you Talking only me and you
