Help The Aged


N.B. Please do not read the lyrics whilst listening to the recordings


Help the aged, one time they were just like you,
Drinking, 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, 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 looking rough.
Funny how it all falls away.

Help the aged, one day you'll be older too,
You might need someone who can pull you through.
If you look very hard behind the 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 looking rough.
Funny how it all falls away.

You can dye your hair but it's the one thing you can change.
Can't run away from 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 looking rough.
Funny how it all falls away.
Funny how it all falls away.
So help the aged.

From the album This is Hardcore
Released as a single with the b-sidesTomorrow Never Lies and Laughing Boy
So do you expect us to start drinking port and lemon all of a sudden? The rave is on, leave your wheelchair outside.
