Otokichi Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Jim Croce didn't get too old, but he did address the question: "Age" "Careful Man" "A Long Time Ago" "Five Short Minutes" Then there's Bonnie Raitt's "Nick of Time" Crosby, Sills & Nash: "Wasted On The Way" John Fogerty: "I Saw It On TV, Premonition" And, the longest reach of all: "Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who.

daslied Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 There's a line from the acoustic version of The Beatles' "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" that goes something like: "I watch from the wings of the play you are staging, While I'm sitting here doing nothing but aging." Shame George left it out - that's one of his better lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foolonthehill Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Free Four- Pink Floyd "The memories of a man in his old age, are the deeds of a man in his prime. You shuffle in the gloom of the sickroom, and talk to yourself as you die." This song takes a humourous look at death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levis Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 ^ That makes me think of: Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town I seem to recognize your face, haunting familiar yet I cant seem to place it Cannot find a candle of thought, to light your name Lifetimes are catching up with me, all these changes taking place, I wish I'd seen the place But no ones ever taken me Hearts and thoughts they fade,faaaaade away Hearts and thoughts they fade,faaaaade away I swear I recognize your breath Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising, me, you wouldnt recall, for I'm not my former Its hard when, your stuck upon the shelf I changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate, Perhaps thats what no one wants to see, I just want to scream hello, My god it's been so long, never dreamed you'd return Now here you are, and here I am Hearts and thoughts they fade...away Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
