HOW TO AGE

Listen well 'cause this story tells how to age
Just sit and watch and the day goes by, it's how to age
Take off your clothes and get in the swim, be all the rage
Get on the role and take it on the road, singing, "Time's a cage"

Growing up is no real problem, just hang around and age
God gives life and God gives earthquakes and cut throat razors
But they'll never know how hurt you've been, its how to age
And that's your real consolation, yeah, it's how to age

I sit and watch with most average eyes, I watch and I age
I sit and smile as the time goes by, it's how to age
And that good time we had that's long in the past
Well it seems like yesterday
And I'm never ever gonna let it rest
It's all a part of ageing

Worry not, don't set yourself up in a state
The fear of death by experience is outweighed
Yeah God gives life and God gives earthquakes and disposable razors
But shaving of your unsightly hair is just one way to age

It seems that chequebook journalism is all the rage
Save a few quid on your grocery bill with a front page
The scum tactics that put you in a spot, each and every day
Be a fat old bag or a mature man, that's age these days
