about

is OLDER - BETTER ?
on considering that youth is wasted on the young
and wisdom on the old

lyrics

OLDER - BETTER ?

If I knew when - I was young - I'd get to O L D
Well here I am - Is it better ??
I used to be bold - lean - I was faster
Now I'm weary, I'm softer - Is it Better??

Didn't imagine - it would come - to this
Now I've found - In my soul - I AM HIGHER!

It takes a while - To get up - OOH Ma Back
But I don't have - to waste my time - doin' ma hair
The girls don't chase me anymore
But I'm wiser - 'cos I've learned from YES TER DE EH Eh Eh EY

I can't travel back - to where - I came from
Well here I am - Is it better ?
I've sealed ma past - closed that door - moved on further
Faces fade - can't remember - Is it BETTER ?

Didn't imagine it would come to this
Now I've found - In my soul - I AM HIGHER!

It takes a while - To get up - OOH Ma Back
I don't have - to waste my time - doin' ma hair
The girls don't chase me anymore
But I'm wiser - 'cos I've learned from YES TER DE EH Eh Eh EY

Never chose - to be born - Nor to die
Didn't ask - to get older
Feelin' cool - at this stage 65
This is where I am - that's OKAY
Come on - bring it on - OOOOOOOOOOOOON

Exhaustipated - Tired out - to give a - sshh..
Shhould i say - no need - for do'in ma hair
The girls don't chase me anymore .... (fact)
But I'm wiser - 'cos I've learned from YES TER DE EH Eh Eh EY
