49.The Last Waltz
Lyricist：Paul Heaton, David Rotheray
Don't feel bad if you wake up feeling suddenly old
More the realisation that you've let yourself be covered by
mould
Age isn't something you wrap up if you're feeling the cold
It's a laugh ten times harder at a joke eleven times told
Down to the churchyard, check out the vaults
Dig up the coffins, unscrew the bolts
No better reminder, no strong enough salts
To show this pitiful few that we've missed the last waltz
That we've missed the last waltz
Don't feel bad if you're feeling past you sell by date
Like the roller coaster ride slowed down to a serious debate
Oh, the weather you tell them you're ready or whether you wait
Does someone place a hand on your shoulder you point the way to
the gate
Down to the churchyard, check out the vaults
Dig up the coffins, unscrew the bolts
No better reminder, no strong enough salts
To show this pitiful few that we've missed the last waltz
That we've missed the last waltz
You don't count the birthdays 'til your out on your own
They come thicker and faster and too damn late to postpone
And wisdom's the last thing the scientists willing to clone
Science advances, maturity dances alone
Science advances, maturity dances alone
