The waster is at the end of life, he's never given or received love but there's more anger and resentment than understanding in his position. Graeme sings with Rebsie Fairholm on backing vocals

Lyrics
Nobody Loves You When You're Old (Hobbs/Langford) © AmokOpera 2007
Nobody loves you when you're old
Let's talk about the good old days
Before the bluebirds flew away
And left the sky so flat and grey
Endless summer, wasted youth
Endless summer, what's the use?
The world just loves to eat its young
Chews them up and spits them out
Flying high sweet bird of youth
Up above the cold hard ground
Here comes the winter
Here comes the cold
Nobody loves you when you get old
When the children come to call
Love's in such short supply
Hardly talk to you at all
How long before you die?
How did you get here
You'll never know
Wasted youth
So long ago
You feel so young inside your head
But your body lets you down
It won't be long before you're dead
Down in that cold hard ground
You could have loved them
If truth be told
Nobody loves you when you get old
