Lyrics
Middle Age Man
V1
I am middle age man
I never used to give a damn
But I now I care too much
About just stupid stuff
I'm middle age man
The signs, there are plenty now
That the force is against me now
Must stop the best of me from going south
V2
I am middle age man
I didn't used to need a plan
But spontaneity
Gives me anxiety
I'm middle age man
The signs, there are plenty now
That the force is against me now
Must stop the best of me from going south
Just like my dad before me
I like a superstore, me
I like an afternoon nap
V3
I am middle age man
I'm a classic rock fan
It's the music that I grew up on
It keeps me feeling young
SOLO
V4
I am middle age man
I'm having tests and I'm having scans
Because the time has come
When things start going wrong
For middle age man
The lines are showing now
The faculties'll start going now
The slightest twinge, it rings alarm bells, now
However much I fight it
Or how much I try to hide it
There's no escaping the fact
Outro
I'm middle age man
I'm middle age man
(this is the music that I grew up on)
I'm middle age man
I'm middle age man
(this is music keeps me feeling young)
I'm middle age man
I'm middle age man
(please play this music at my funeral)
