lyrics

Old Hand

hey young guns with glittering eyes
you're buzzing around like blue arsed flies
so when you manage to land a prize
you happily believe their flattering lies

recovering from your weeping fit
you're hysterically hung up on it
not realizing fading time
eats mercilessly away at your prime

seen it before it's all but new
I know what life and death can do
self-mockery and ready wit
the proper way to deal with it

terrifically at ease
just free from fear I may not please
acting naturally is a simple thing
stop holding it back from deep within

so when your fame slowly declines
and you begin to see the signs
don't let self-confidence come crashing down
clinging feebly - you'd only touched the crown once

let's go enjoy the invitation
not pondering on expectations
driven by auspicious inspiration
is the design of our creation

not wallowing in intense sensations
holds us back from agitation
keep up the laid-back attitude
based on serious gratitude

seen it before it's all but new
I know what life and death can do
self-mockery and ready wit
the proper way to deal with it

terrifically at ease
just free from fear I may not please
acting naturally is a simple thing
stop holding it back from deep within

enjoying every minute of it
the audience is hooked on it
show them how to go for it
don't matter what the night will bring
go for the moment and that's it
