lyrics

Look at me, look at me and despair
Look at me, look at my skin, look at my hair
I don't want to light your fire
As nature's laws require
So please walk on by and do try not to stare

Look at you, look at you, and despair
Look at you, look at your skin, look at your hair,
Too much silver, not much gold
Little status but too old
And that's not how it works, as far as I'm aware

Poor old fools, don't feel so bad
It's an atavistic instinct you obey
But poor old fools, get on home
Because there's no fool like an old fool so they say

Spare a thought for dirty sad old men
Do you think we want to go through this again and again?
And pity fresh-faced youth
For here's the painful truth:
It's not a case of if, it's only when

And I know this may disgust, it may appal
It's sure to earn the scorn of women one and all
But you might temper your contempt
For the dreams we may have dreamt
While it's to mewing infants you're in thrall

Poor old fools, don't feel too bad
For every dog among you had his day
But poor old fools, get on home
Because there's no fool like an old fool, so they say
