When I'm a man, will I still sin, yeah
I'm just a boy, will I still win, yeah
Lost song of lovers and fellow travelers, yeah
Leave me sad and hollow, yeah, out of words

It could happen to you
So think for yourself:
If I should stumble
Won't you catch my fall, yeah
If I should stumble
Won't you catch my fall
Catch me

Catch my fall
If I should stumble and fall

I've traveled and unwound my truth, yeah
Laid my head on the rock of youth, yeah
I've trusted and then broken my own word
Just to keep me free in this mad, mad world

It could happen to you
So think for yourself:
If I should stumble
Won't you catch my fall ,yeah
If I should stumble
Won't you catch my fall
Catch my fall

Friends and lovers
Keep your uphill face
Friends and lovers
Even those who hate
We're strong when we're one
We're humble when we're wrong
And then I know
You'll catch me, catch me, catch me when I fall

So we'll say it once more, say it
And if I stumble
Won't you catch me when I fall
And if I stumble
Catch my fall, yeah
Catch my fall
Catch my fall
And if I stumble
Won't you catch my fall
Catch my fall
Yes, I know
Catch me when I fall

Billy Idol is an English rock musician, songwriter and actor. Born in Stanmore, Middlesex, Idol first achieved fame in the punk rock era as a member of the band Generation X. Unlike other British punk rock artists of his era, Idol was inspired by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

Idol then embarked on a successful solo career, and was a member of the MTV-driven “Second British Invasion” of the United States. A series of music videos for songs such as “Dancing With Myself”, “White Wedding”, “Rebel Yell” and “Eyes Without a Face” made him one of the first MTV stars. Idol continues to tour with guitarist Steve Stevens.

Idol’s 1987 release, “Mony Mony” reached #1 on the US top 40 charts; his songs to chart in the top 10 include: White Wedding, Eyes Without a Face, To Be a Lover and Cradle of Love.
