Go Ask An Old Man

Go ask an old man, see what he's got to say
 Don't ask your teachers, they weren't much good anyway
 Nothing really matters, as time drifts on by
 Just a drop in the ocean, a shot in the sky
 Don't stray from the narrow, and keep your hands clean
 It seems very silly, if you know what I mean
 You worry and worry, never really know why
 I wake in the morning, as trams roll on by
 I have a lover, so I can't complain
 For me there's no other, we play silly games
 And though she is not here, I'm never alone
 She's lives in my pocket, and inside the phone
 I'm going to Scotland, that's where I'm from
 I'll probably not stay there, coz' it's not very warm
 We followed our father, coz' father knows best
 With rhyme a good reason, and my wheezing chest
 So go ask an old man, see what he's got to say
 If he falls in the gutter, be on your way
 Nothing really matters, as time drifts on by
 You give your love presents, you laugh and you cry
