(WHAT A DRAG IT IS GETTING OLD)

lyrics

TALKIN' MID-LIFE SENIORITY BLUES
We’re much older girls and boys now, we rarely get out to play
Though we still believe in the weekend, stuff gets in the way
And when we gaze into the mirror, someone else looks back
And the trousers that we cherish, won’t cut us any slack
So it’s time to pass on the baton, and do it with good grace
Our nephews and our nieces, now occupy that space,
And the further you look backwards, the stranger is the view
And now what’s past it’s sell by, was once shiny and brand new
So if you must go out dancing, don’t stay out too late
And remember to keep your nose clean,
And don’t forget your 5 a day, don’t forget your 5 a day
And you’ll live to fight another day.
Now I'm 42, I'm too old to boogaloo
What am I gonna' do?
I’ve got the walkin’ talkin’ squeakin’ squawkin’,
Middle-age rampage, hold the front page news
I’ve got the mid-life crisis, gotta quit my vices,
I’m the immoral minority, but I got seniority too.
I’ve got the talkin’ mid-life seniority blues.

The Lone Groover London, UK

Named after the anti-hero of a comic strip that graced the music inkies of the 70s, THE LONE GROOVER is a one man & guitar outfit who channels his love of folk, punk and Americana into classic songs of beauty, protest & passion, agit-folk'n'bop if you will."Let’s be clear, I’m not a solo artist, I’m a one man group, I wanna walk like The Clash & sound like Bob Dylan”. Folk music for City dwellers! ... more
