Written a number of years ago meaning I'm much older now.
lyrics
You're getting older, your hair is growing thin,
You've put on weight, your clothes are out, not in,
And you can't keep up, and things just pass you by,
It's time to give up, you're much too old to try,
And you're not a good man, there's lots that you've done wrong,
You've let us all down, you tried but you're not strong
Enough to see, it's not like it used to be,
No, it's not easy, not as easy as it used to be.
It's so much harder, you can't stay hard all night,
After just a few drinks, you can see the end's in sight,
The drugs don't work, they just give you a headache,
The music's too loud, you might just need a break,
But I don't think so, coz you're so old,
And you like your comfy shoes,
And a good book, and a long look,
At the papers and the news,
So retire now, light the fire now,
And develop right-wing views,
On the sofa, coz it's over,
And you're too white to sing the blues.
And you're getting older, there's no one left to blame,
You've lost the spark now, it all just sounds the same,
And it's time to give up, you're much too old to try,
Your eyes are half shut, and the end is drawing nigh.
So retire now, light the fire now,
And develop right-wing views,
On the sofa, coz it's over,
And you're too white to sing the blues,
So just retire now, light the fire now,
And develop right-wing views,
On the sofa, coz it's over,
And you're too white to sing the blues,
It's not easy, it defeats me,
Not as easy as it used to be.
Like winter branches lined with snow and ice, Sam Ray (Ricky Eat Acid, Teen Suicide)'s latest is delicate, spare, melancholy, and beautiful. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 3, 2018
