Grey hair in my way,
Yes I am, the great pretender,
Who said I'm to blame,
For this static surrender?
Creased sheets on my bed,
You will cover with this throw,
Creaking stairs that you tread,
I'm the oldest man I know,
I'm the oldest man...
(I know) I stayed at home whilst you,
Turned all the colours black and blue,
Old man, there's holes in your new shoes,
There's holes in your new shoes.
Brick wall turned to clay,
You deny, the great pretender,
No words I can say,
For this static surrender.
"No need to always walk a straight line",
You say I'm looking for a green light, at a stop sign,
"No need to walk so straight and narrow",
I'm the oldest man I know,
I'm the oldest man I know.
(I know) I stayed at home whilst you,
Turned all the colours black and blue,
Old man, there's holes in your new shoes,
There's holes in your new shoes.
