Now That I'm Decrepit

Image
  Now That I'm Decrepit (If I Needed Someone) I’m so old I’ve lost my hearing And yes I’ll lose my sight I’m fearing Now that I’m decrepit   I’m losing my mind and my hair Though I haven’t much to spare Now that I’m decrepit   Now you see I’m old and grey And it’s my teeth I mostly miss So all that I can eat now is mush   And now I know we’re both the same And maybe you will play a game with me Now that I’m decrepit Ah, ah, ah, ah   I’m losing my mind and my hair Though I haven’t much to spare Now that I’m decrepit   Now you see I’m old and grey And it’s my teeth I mostly miss So all that I can eat now is mush   And now I know we’re both the same And maybe you will play a game with me Now that I’m decrepit Ah, ah, ah, ah  

Wait

  Wait (Wait) I’m in a wheelchair Don’t stare or take pity on me I'll wheel away now Oh how that’s the way it should be   Wait 'til I come back to your side We'll forget the years we've tried   If I use a frame Take aim, turn me away And if my body’s weak Don’t speak, I’ll just decay   Wait 'til I come back to your side We'll forget the years we've tried   I have no hair And my teeth are rare And I’ve grown old As old as I can be   And if you do I'll trust in you And know that you Will age with me   I’m in a wheelchair Don’t stare or take pity on me I'll wheel away now Oh how that’s the way it should be   Wait 'til I come back to your side We'll forget the years we've tried   I have no hair And my teeth are rare And I’ve grown old As old as I can be   And if you do I'll trust in you And know that you Will age with me   If I use a frame Take...

In My Life (I Can't Remember)

Image
  In My Life (I Can't Remember) (In My Life) Don’t you know I can’t remember All my life cause my mind’s deranged Gone forever, not for better Must have gone and remain unchanged   Don’t you know I have dementia And there are many friends I still can’t recall Some are dead and some are living In my life I’ve forgotten them all   I’m sure I had friends and lovers When I think of love as something new   And these memories have no meaning But what I really want to know is who are you   Though I know I'll often lose attention For people and things that went before And I try to stop and think about them In my life I can’t recall   Though I know I'll often lose attention For people and things that went before And I try to stop and think about them In my life I can’t recall   In my life I still can’t recall

  Nursing Home (Girl) Is there anybody going to listen to my story Of how I came about to be in here My kids said they couldn’t look after me and they were sorry Now I won’t be getting out again I fear   Ah home Nursing home   When I think of all the times I tried so hard to leave here My kids will turn to me and start to cry And they promise me that they will take me out , I believe them After all this time, I don't know why   Ah home Nursing home   It’s the kind of place that leads you to despair You feel a fool If you say the cooking’s good, then I’ll know its misunderstood it’s gruel,   ooh, ooh, ooh   Ah home Nursing home   I was told when I was young that retirement would lead to pleasure? I didn’t understand it when they said When you’re in the home there’ll be no more days of leisure? Will the kids believe it when I’m dead?   Ah home Nursing home Ah home Nursing home ...

What Goes On

  What Goes On (What Goes On) What goes on all around ? What goes on in my mind? When you know It’s not too sound And I just can’t seem to find What goes on in my mind?   The other day I was lost as I walked along the road My mind was gone, didn’t know the way to my abode It's not easy when you’re turning eighty-five Tell me why?   What goes on all around ? What goes on in my mind? When you know It’s not too sound And I just can’t seem to find What goes on in my mind?   I can’t seem to remember when the dementia started And I can’t be sure if that caused us to be parted It's not easy when you’re turning eighty-five Tell me why?   Don’t know how to start With my mind so gone I can no longer play the game And everyday it gets harder and harder to remember my name It's not easy when you’re turning eighty-five Tell me why?   What goes on all around ? What goes on in my mind? When you know It’s not ...

Think for Yourself

Image
  Think For Yourself (Think For Yourself) I had a word or two To say about the things that you do But they’re just goodbyes I just can’t remember what we had Even if I close my eyes   Do what you want to do And go where you're going to Think for yourself 'Cause my mind has also gone too   You left me far behind The ruins of my life now that I’ve lost my mind And though you still can't see You know my mind is mush It’s gonna cause more misery   Do what you want to do And go where you're going to Think for yourself 'Cause my mind has also gone too   Although your mind's clear Try thinking about mine, it’s gone I fear The future still looks bleak But you've got time to rectify All the things that you seek   Do what you want to do And go where you're going to Think for yourself 'Cause my mind has also gone too   Do what you want to do And go where you're going to Think for your...

Image
  New Tech's No Good  (Norwegian Wood) And when I was young I had such fun without technology And there was no gloom Just as it should, new tech’s no good   Then computers came With promise and full of fanfare So I looked around And I noticed them popping up everywhere   I tried my laptop couldn’t get online So I let out a whine We tried until two and then she said "It's time for bed"   She told me she’d text In the morning before she’d had her bath I told her I didn't Have a cell phone and started to laugh   Where is the tape deck, it’s all new tech. What’s MP3's by heck So I threw up my hands Just as it should, new tech’s no good.
