Chris Thomas - Help The Aged lyrics

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 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 looking 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 Oh, 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't change Can't run away from yourself, yourself, your-se-se-se-se-se-se-se-se-self 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 Oh, it's funny how it all falls away Funny how it all falls away Oh, it's funny how it all It all falls away So help the aged
