Help the aged
One time they were
just like you
Drinking, smoking cigs
and sniffing glue
Help the aged
Don't just put them
in a home
Can't have much fun
when they're all
on their own
Give a hand
If you can
Try and help them
to unwind
Give them hope
And give them comfort
'Cos they're running
out of time...
In the meantime
we try
Try to forget that
nothing lasts forever
No big deal
So give us all a feel
Funny how
it all falls away
When did you
first realise
Oh it's time you took
another lover, baby
Teach you stuff
Although he's
looking rough
Funny how
it all falls away
Help the aged
'Cos one day you'll
be older too
You might
need someone
who can
pull you through
And if you look
very hard
Behind those lines
upon their face
You may see
where you're heading
And it's such
a lonely place, oh
In the meantime
we try
Try to forget that
nothing lasts forever
No big deal
So give us all a feel
Funny how
it all falls away
When did you
first realise
It's time you took
another lover, baby
Teach you stuff
Although he's
looking rough
Funny how
it all falls away
Oh, you can
dye your hair
But it's the one
thing you can't change
Can't run away
from yourself
Yourself, yourself
self, self, self, self,
self, self, self, self,
self, self
In the meantime
we try
Try to forget that
nothing lasts forever
No big deal
So give us all a feel
Funny how
it all falls away
When did you
first realise
It's time you took
another lover, baby
Teach you stuff
Although he's
looking rough
Funny how
it all falls away
Oh, it's funny how
it all falls away
Funny how
it all falls away
Oh, it's funny
how it all
all falls away
So help the aged
