And Time Goes On…


And time goes on, and flashes by,
Just like that, in the blink of an eye!
It rolls on ahead, always ahead…
Till the time comes that we're gona be dead!
But as time rolls on and we get old,
Things fall apart and we feel the cold!
Cos the skin goes thin, the bones get knackered,
And in a heartbeat, the illusions are shattered!

The teeth get loose and start falling out,
The gums recede there aint no doubt!
They make us dentures bit by bit!
But they aint no good…cos they don't fit!
The eyes get blurry and red as blood,
We'd wear glasses, but they aint no good!
Cos it aint so much the eyesight that's the pain,
The problem is – there's too much strain!

Cos the lids all drooped and bloodshot red,
And the cataracts get worse, so the sight is dead!
The knees get sore and swollen when we try and walk,
The fingers swell so we can't hold a ruddy fork!
So we go in a home and get waited on hand and foot…
They cut up our food, and we're in a bloody rut!
The bed's have plastic sheets that make you sweat,
Well, if you dribble in the night, it's what you get!

But hey, it aint all bad, I think you will agree…
Cos no matter what, they make us our tea!!!
And as we wrinkle up more as time passes on,
It's a warning to us, our time's now done!
Time for a sleep, for ever and a day…
But there's no use staying, knackered each day!
So throw off your cares, get rid of your woe…
Shut your eyes, cos its time to go!

And time rolls on, and on for all,
Until the reaper gives us a call!
And off we pop way up high!
The body's knackered so it's time to die!

Well, we all end up in a box at the end of the day!
So may as well make the most of our life today!
