lyrics

Too Old For Sports

I'm on a hiding to nothing
On somebody's tears
My fuel is a burden
I'm lost in the woods
I sit in a furnace
Abusing my plug-ins
Scaring myself
With the power of the biro
I'm too old for sports
I'm pushing a carcass
If I look on the bright side
I'll die on the pavement
The last thing I want
Is the cops standing by
As my loved ones are summoned
And attitudes thicken
The crowds, listlessly gawping
Like they've one brain between them.
