lyrics

Four years older and three stone heavier
Think I’m gonna try to find some
Maybe I’m lucky and I’ll find somebody
Who can tolerate what I have become
The ones I’m attracted to get no older
My big vein’s blood just gets colder
Is there some kind of sign when you discover that
You’ve passed your prime?

You’re no older than I remember you
My memory’s not what it was
The days get longer and the years get shorter
That’s how the numbers build up
I’ve got no chance with contemporary females
I can’t remember the simplest details
Why does sleeping with someone new
Feel like I’m cheating on you?

Gets a little better with the passing of time
The hills and the mountains get eroded to fine sand
The rivers and the lochs and the lakes and the springs
Turn themselves into gaseous things
The babies and the children
And the teens and the grown-ups
The kids gotta grow up to replace the grown-ups
And this all happens without my involvement
Did I miss my time?
Have I passed my prime?

Oh, and the big yellow sun’s
Gonna move through crimson and blue
Before exploding
And becoming a rock or a big black hole

And no, I don’t wanna see your baby pictures
Or hear about the stag do
I don’t care what you’re redecorating
Or the cute things that your pets do
I’ve got my health, they like to remind me
The healthier people lined up behind me
Ready to push me out of the line
Now that I’ve passed my prime

And we will not be forgiven
As we forget the past
The animals that we are
Cannot possibly recall at all
The animals that we are
Can’t recall at all
