Mortal

Don't need no alarm to get me out of bed Decades of toil, my back screams out instead The pain returns, at the days first light Far more savage, than the feeling last night A coffee and fag, that was always the way Back in the day, you never thought you'd pay A bang on the head, maybe a trip or a fall You had your magic sponge, you never needed to call You pop more pills now than you did in the nineties Only this time around, they're to help for your bad knees A coffee and fag, that was always the way Back in the day, you never thought you'd pay Those days, seemed to last forever These days now, you have to be more clever If the clocks could be turned, I would take more advice Slow down and chill and maybe leave out the vice A coffee and fag, that was always the way Back in the day, you never thought you'd pay Those days, seemed to last forever These days now, you have to be more clever A coffee and fag, that was always the way Back in the day, you never thought you'd pay Back in the day, never pay Back in the day, never pay
