Story Behind The Song

Well, you get over sixty, all those teenage love-songs have been written, gone through the protest stuff and, anyway, if you didn't live fast, die young then you'd better enjoy the rest of life.

Song Description

In spite of all the things that start going wrong with life, (memory loss, aches and pains), there's still Life, so enjoy it.

Lyrics

Getting Old
Ac Bo Callaby2008


Something just happened, but it all seems kind of hazy
Can't quite remember think I must be going crazy
Now maybe it's the drugs, or it could be the alcohol
But my mind is losing contact and my body's lost control

chorus : I'm getting old, I'm going grey, I'm overweight
I'm getting old, I've gone past my use-by date
I'm getting old, let this story be told
I've been thrown out on the scrap-heap, left out in the cold
I'm getting old

Someone just spoke, but I don't know what was said
There's just this mumble of jumble going 'round in my head
Now it may have been a promise, could've been a Judas kiss
I used to be so sorted, man, how did it come to this?

chorus : (As Above)

bridge : But now my life will be just one long holiday
At least, I think, that's what I've heard some people say
All the toil is over, now it's just fields of clover
Well I never did much like working anyway

I'm getting old, now we can party every day
I'm getting old, don't give a toss what people say
I'm getting old, so many stories to be told
Out here on the scrap-heap life is solid gold
I'm getting old

Ad Lib to - Let's all get old!!
