Help the aged
one time they were just like you
drinking, smoking cigs and sniffing glue.
Help the aged
don't just put them in a home
can't have much fun in there all on their own

Give a hand, if you can, try and help them to unwind
Give them hope & give them comfort 'cos they're running out of time

In the meantime we try
Try to forget that nothing lasts forever
No big deal so give us all a feel
Funny how it all falls away

When did you first realise?
It's time you took an older lover baby
Teach you stuff although he's looking rough
Funny how it all falls away

Help the aged 'cos one day you'll be older too
you might need someone who can pull you through
& if you look very hard behind the lines upon their face
you may see where you are headed and it's such a lonely place

You can dye your hair but it's the one thing you can't change
Can't run away from yourself, yourself
Funny how it all falls away
So help the aged.

-Help the Aged, Pulp

tomorrow i am going to help the aged. hopefully it'll take my burdened and confused mind off its wanderlusts and compulsive obsessive thoughts.

when will i ever learn? that things don't work out the way i want them to for 99% of the time? i should have learnt. now i will not yearn anymore. for i no longer know what my heart truly desires. it's all a little sad, really.

anyway i love the song. reminds me of how auntie mandy and i made fun of the lead singer's name - Jarvis Cocker.
