So apparently the word on the street is that we're all getting a bit older at exactly the same rate. A bit creepy and insidious isn't it? Things just slo-ow-ow-ow-ly become slightly less interesting as you pile on the Junes.
lyrics
A little older a little more weary,
A few more worries a few more fears
A little wiser a bit more scared now,
A bit more money, a bit more busy,
Aware of danger, aversed to anger,
Responsible, but not much time,
Can’t be your friend mate, a bit too busy,
Right now to fall in love,
I’m sorry but I just can’t go out tonight,
Oh no I just don’t feel the best maybe another time,
Think I’ll stay and watch TV,
Wait until next week,
Another week another decade,
Look how much we’ve achieved.
A bit more clever, but slow to learn now,
Easier to judge but harder to stop,
Many memories, not many new ones,
Much less time to spend in the sun
Hesitation, procrastination
Had a dream when I was young.
Shaking fast lane lights they dazzle
Make sure you catch them when they come
Oh I think I’ll pass this one by,
Many opportunities I have missed,
But there’s still more to come,
Think I’ll stay and watch TV,
Wait until next week,
Another week, another decade,
A little older but still I’m young,
A little older but still I’m young,
A little older but still I’m young,
A little older but still I’m young,
A little older but still I’m young,
A little older but still I’m young,
A little older but still I’m young,
A little older but still I’m young,
A little older but still I’m young.
