  • Well there's nothing more to add, before I leave
    This thing of ours is dead, but don't we grieve
    Is it me, or are they younger every night?
    Just because they can, doesn't make it alright

    And I'm hanging by my teeth
    Waiting on quick relief
    Well the kids don't sleep for days
    I could die in a hundred odd ways

    I'm so sick of hearing
    That enough of this has died
    But don't tell me
    You could do it if you tried
    Well it's a shame or a sham
    He's half as old as I am
    Don't tell me
    He could look good if he tried

    Well he terrifies the life out of me
    It's really such a lazy way to be
    Hiding in the bedroom, climbing up the walls
    You've gotta kick it out of me gently, 'til he
    Begs and pleads and crawls

    I'm so sick of hearing
    How your love for this has died
    But don't tell me
    You could do it if you tried
    Well it's a shame and a sham
    He's half as old as I am
    Don't tell me
    He could look good if he tried

    I'm so sick of hearing
    How your love for this has died
    But don't tell me
    You could do it if you tried
    Well it's a shame or a sham
    He's half as old as I am
    Don't tell me
    He could look good if he tried

    Won't you make sure of my mother?
    Guessed half my weight in gold
    Tell her I just did
    What I was told
    Grab your expensive coat
    And bury it inside
    But don't tell me
    You could do it
    If you tried Writer/s: JOHN LAWLER
