Derek,

when you posted this challenge, the first thing that came to mind was a wonderful lyric written a long time ago (2001)by a member of the JPF forum. As you probably know it is nearly impossible to search anything on this forum older than a year so I thought it was lost forever but this morning I was on a different workstation here at work and I found a bookmark link to the lyric. This is a perfect match for this challenge. Here is the link.

TOO YOUNG

She always looked
So pretty in pink
I heard from her friends
She’d started to drink
She was only fifteen
Too young to drink

She always looked
So cool in green
She looked like the girls
In those teen magazines
She was only fifteen
When she tried nicotine

She used to look
So lovely in red
But she started to look
Like she’d never been fed
Then the white powder
Messed up her head

Too young to drink
Too young to smoke
Too young to resist
Too young to cope

She would have looked
Stunning in white
She would have made
A beautiful bride
She was only fifteen
Too young to die

(Bridge?)
What they found
Doesn’t make any sense
Too young to realise
It’s so permanent
She was too young to die
Too young to die…..

She was only fifteen
Too young to die
