Pulp – Help The Aged lyrics

Help the aged, one time they were just like you
Drinking, smoking, smoking cigs and sniffing glue
Help the aged, don't just put them in a home
Can't have much fun in there all on their own

Give a hand, if you can, try and help them to unwind
Give them hope and give them comfort, cos they're running out of time

In the meantime we try, try to forget that nothing lasts forever
No big deal so give us all a feel
Funny how it all falls away

When did you first realise?
It's time you took an older lover, baby
Teach you stuff although he's lookin' rough
Funny how it all falls away

Help the aged, cause one day you'll be older too
You might need someone who can pull you through
And if you look very hard behind those lines upon their face
You may see where you are headed and it's such a lonely place

In the meantime we try, try to forget that nothing lasts forever
No big deal so give us all a feel
Funny how it all falls away

When did you first realise?
It's time you took an older lover, baby
Teach you stuff although he's lookin' rough
Funny how it all falls away

You can dye your hair but it's the one thing you can't change
Can't run away from yourself, yourself

In the meantime we try, try to forget that nothing lasts forever
No big deal so give us all a feel
Funny how it all falls away

When did you first realise?
It's time you took an older lover, baby
Teach you stuff although he's lookin' rough
Funny how it all falls away
It's funny how it all falls away
Funny how it all falls away
Funny how it all falls away
So help the aged
