Another cheery, positive song from me.

It’s Alex’s fault – his track ‘Piece of Me’ http://ccmixter.org/files/A... with the mighty mykleanthony just blew me away and I had to sing to it. Thanks, Alex!

(Lots of gaps in this one.)

NOTHING MUCH AHEAD
vs
Little shrunken head, caught between large ears
Thread-thin neck, dried food stains like scabs
Dimmed, anxious eyes, afloat in false tears
Stiff fingers – hands curled up like crabs
ch
And suddenly you’re old
Suddenly you’re invisible
Suddenly it’s all behind you
And there’s nothing much ahead
vs
Baskets tell a story, eccentric food for one
Linger at the checkout, desperate for a smile
Tinned soup, fags and a quart of dark rum
There’s a son somewhere but hasn’t called in a while
ch
And suddenly you’re old
Suddenly you’re invisible
Suddenly it’s all behind you
And there’s nothing much ahead
break out
Oh time is such a treacherous thief
Our trust in our dreams tragically brief
We fall into line with the loss of belief
ch
And suddenly you’re old
Suddenly you’re invisible
Suddenly it’s all behind you
And there’s nothing much ahead
