Don't you find it strange?
My, how things have changed
Just like before
With some things re-arranged
Now we're two years on
How far have we gone?
The sparks of before
I'm not a rock idol, I'm bored
And it makes me feel my age

You still bend your ears
Fighting your little sister
Like you spell CND
Use the same clubs as me
But now you've not changed
Not wiser with years
Now you share their clothes
And you share their fears
And you are no longer the rage

And that makes me smile
Run a three minute mile
Do the dance war of the Sham 69 comeback tour
Now that makes me smile
To watch a lost cause
And Jim takes a bow
To the sound of applause
That makes ... old slave

Two score years ago
Until I can retire
With whiskey and wine
In front of the fire
Now if you think that sounds grim
Well it don't for me
Because I've had the luck
And I'm privileged to be
Able to act my age
