lyrics

In the park underneath the trees a rocking horse dips his nose in the breeze,

Children have gone but still he dips his iron head towards the ground….

I suppose I’m in the winter of my life an old man with a sty in his eye & an arthritic wife,
I should be relaxing on a SaGa sea-cruise, blottoed on Sanatogen or quality Frog booze.

Moles have been at the bowling green creating a surreal, almost Daliesque scene…
When my medication begins to kick in I feel like I’m walking through a dream…

I suppose I’m in the winter of my
When I was a young I once sold a pair of spats to Joe Loss…
now I shuffle amongst the flower beds in sandals & socks.

A cocker-spaniel has got hold of a duck…it looks like that duck has ran out of luck!
A pair of squirrels in a sycamore tree appear to gaze with indifference at me…

I suppose I’m in the winter of my life an old man with a sty in his eye & an arthritic wife,
At my age is there really any point in carrying on?

Oh well, I suppose I may as well just keep
chuntering along.
