Help the aged, one time they were just like you

Drinking, smoking, smoking cigs and sniffing glue

Help the aged, don't just put them in a home

Can't have much fun in there all on their own

Give a hand, if you can, try and help them to unwind

Give them hope and give them comfort, cos they're running out of time

In the meantime we try, try to forget that nothing lasts forever

No big deal so give us all a feel

Funny how it all falls away

When did you first realise?

It's time you took an older lover, baby

Teach you stuff although he's lookin' rough

Funny how it all falls away

Help the aged, 'cos one day you'll be older too

You might need someone who can pull you through

And if you look very hard behind those lines upon their face

You may see where you are headed and it's such a lonely place

In the meantime we try, try to forget that nothing lasts forever

No big deal so give us all a feel

Funny how it all falls away

When did you first realise?

It's time you took an older lover, baby

Teach you stuff although he's lookin' rough

Funny how it all falls away

You can dye your hair but it's the one thing you can't change

Can't run away from yourself, yourself

In the meantime we try, try to forget that nothing lasts forever

No big deal so give us all a feel

Funny how it all falls away

When did you first realise?

It's time you took an older lover, baby

Teach you stuff although he's lookin' rough

Funny how it all falls away

It's funny how it all falls away

Funny how it all falls away

Funny how it all falls away

So help the aged
