Name: Yesterday I Forgot My Age
Duration: P00H02M37S
Description: As I'm sure you won't be surprised, this song came about one day when I couldn't remember my age! In fact, worryingly, it happened a few times. Whilst currently still on the brighter side of 40, the reality is I'm getting older and greyer! Meals on wheels and fare-free buses really do seem like good deals though...

lyrics

Yesterday I forgot my age, was I 32 or 33?
Looked to see I was going grey,
saw my Father staring back at me

Old age comes to the best of us, road rage changed to a fare free bus
Meals on wheels seems a decent deal to me…
Now where are my keys?

Yesterday I was running free, the world an oyster opened up for me
Settled down, had a family, now my house is where I want to be

Old age comes to the best of us, road rage changed to a fare free bus
Meals on wheels seems a decent deal to me…
Now shut the door before I freeze

This song is…
For the old man coping best as he can
For the poor dear living with her worst fear
Keep your heads up until your time is up

All the middle aged saving for a pension
For the healthy and retired, too few to mention
Keep your heads up until your time is up
When your youth will be renewed

'Cos old age comes to the best of us,
road rage changed to a fare free bus
When meals on wheels are the only deal in town
I hope I’ll smile more than I frown
