MIDDLE AGED SPREAD
By
John G. Sutton
We used to dance all nighters
Drinking till daybreak
Rock ‘N’ Rolling careless with the
Hippy, Hippy, Shake
Beatles and Rolling Stones
The soundtrack to our nights
Brylcream and dandruff
Mini skirts without tights!
Round the back of Woolies
Up some alleyway
Can’t get no satisfaction
As the bra strap won’t give way
What happened to those years
When Elvis was The King
And Radio Caroline
Played songs we all could sing
What happened to our passion
The fumbling so grand
When my little soldier
Stood to attention in your hand
Is it really all a memory
Has the lust gone from our bed?
And is all that’s left
Just middle aged spread?
