Hey everyone,
Following Booboo's thread in the bar, I thought I'd share this, my first EVER song.
I wrote it when I was about 16, it's inspired by the sad demise of my grandaparents through old age and ill health (all jolly stuff then
)
I was really chuffed with it at the time and on listening again (when I eventually found it) I actually think it's not too bad, for a first go..
It's in the finished songs section because I haven't touched it for 17 years

As time goes by you'll find out for certain
That your hopes and your dreams get blocked by a curtain
Things that were possible now seem impossible
And the world is an ever shrinking place
Silently wandering through the old city
Things that you used to do they make you feel giddy
Things that were plausable now seem implausable
And it suddenly dawns on you time is running out
CH
The old world is changing but not for the better and
things become frightening young ones adore them and
Your friends all start leaving, your life is a burden and then
The bitter end
Then the bitter end
Therefore fulfill all your ambitions
Skydive and bungee jump all those positions
Marry a caring girl don't sleep with silly girls
Make sure you do whatever you want
CH
The old world is changing but not for the better and
things become frightening young ones adore them and
Your friends all start leaving, your life is a burden and then
The bitter end
Then the bitter end
