The first time I heard “Peggy Sueâ€ÂÂ
I was 12 years old
Russians up in rocket ships
And the war was cold
Now many wars have come and gone
Genocide still goes on
Buddy Holly still goes on
But his catalog was sold
First time I smoked
Guess what – Paranoid
First time I heard “Satisfactionâ€ÂÂ
I was young and unemployed
Down the decades every year
Summer leaves and my birthday’s here
And all my friends stand up and cheer
And say man you’re old
Getting old
Old
Getting old
We celebrate the birth of Jesus on Christmas day
And Buddha found nirvana along the lotus way
About 1,500 years ago the messenger Mohammed spoke
And his wisdom like a river flowed
Through hills of gold
Wisdom is old
The Koran is old
The Bible is old
Greatest story ever told
Disagreements?
Work’em out
The human race has walked the earth for 2.7 million
And we estimate the universe at 13-14 billion
When all these numbers tumble into your imagination
Consider that the lord was here before creation
God is old
We’re not old
God is old
He made the mold
Take your clothes off
Adam and EveI can see you're slipping away from me
and you're so afraid that i'll plead with you to stay
So i'm gonna be strong
I'll let you go your way.
Love is gone
There's no sense in going on
and you're pity now
would be more than i could bear
So i'm gonna be strong
I'll pretend i don't care.
I'm gonna be strong
and stand as tall as i can,
I'm gonna be strong
and let you go along
and take it like a man.
When you say it's the end
I'll hand you a line
I'll smile and say 'don't you worry it's fine'
and you'll never know
darling after you kiss me goodbye
how i'll break down and cry..........
