And I can’t give a reason why
I should ever want to die

Ladytron’s 2002 single, Seventeen.
The lyric: “They only want you when you’re 17 / When you’re 21, you’re no fun”

Lost Highway by Hank Williams
I was just a lad
Nearly 22 *
Neither good nor bad
Just a kid like you
But now I’m lost
Too late to pray
Lord I’ve paid the cost
On the lost highway
*nearly 22, so he’s still 21
“Time To Be Your 21” Alexz Johnson
