Story Behind The Song

It happened to me...

Song Description

Starts with the fuzzy head and dis-connection understood by most people over 50, but winds up loving the freedom - it's party time.

Lyrics

Something just happened, but it all seems kind of hazy
Can't quite remember think I must be going crazy
Now maybe it's the drugs, or it could be the alcohol
But my mind is losing contact and my body's lost control

chorus : I'm getting old, I'm going grey, I'm overweight
I'm getting old, I've gone past my use-by date
I'm getting old, let this story be told
I've been thrown out on the scrap-heap, left out in the cold
I'm getting old

Someone just spoke, but I don't know what was said
There's just this mumble of jumble going 'round in my head
Now it may have been a promise, could've been a Judas kiss
I used to be so sorted, man, how did it come to this?

chorus : (As Above)

bridge : But now my life will be just one long holiday
At least, I think, that's what I've heard some people say
All the toil is over, now it's just fields of clover
Well I never did much like working anyway

I'm getting old, now we can party every day
I'm getting old, don't give a toss what people say
I'm getting old, so many stories to be told
Out here on the scrap-heap life is solid gold
I'm getting old

Ad Lib to - Let's all get old!!
