Signs of growing old (Glynne Davies)

Beware of the signs of your twilight years
When it feels like the morning after but not had a beer
You while away the time in your favourite armchair
Stick your teeth into a steak, and they stay there

Eyesight's fading, body aching
Hearing fails, you’re getting frail.

You join a health club, but don’t bother to go
Send money for charity to the Terry Wogan show
You sit in a rocking chair but cant make it rock
Look forward to bedtime at about seven O’Clock

Eyesight's fading, ...

You go to bed early but cant sleep till morning
Remember the past vividly but not what you’re doing
Look forward to a dull night in, the TV to view
Reclusive, you’re back goes out more than you do

Eyesight's fading, ...

Everything hurts, what doesn’t, doesn’t work
And you prefer a Lada instead of a Merc
Your house is too big, your medicine chest too small
And everyone around you seems to be so tall

Eyesight's fading, ...

Your just want to live to be a grumpy old fool
To do what you want and break all the rules
To be obnoxious, awkward and from urine you smell
And just for a change give your kids hell

Eyesight's fading, ...
