Lyrics The Young & the Old - Madness

The Young & the Old

Staggering home everybody sings
All the old songs the cockney routines
All the old womenall the young men
Try changing places then back again
Old man in the morning
Young man at night
Breakfast full of wisdom
Until you hit the lights
Knock back the drinkshitch up your skirt
Fall over backwords undo your shirt
Everyone shouting what a terrible state
Age creeping backwards as it gets late
Old man in the morning
Young man at night
Breakfast full of wisdom
Until you hit the lights
Have a quick shortforget about work
Have a couple more then you go beserk
Who cares about this morningwise old man
The wisdom comes up later and goes down the pan
Old man in the morning
Young man at night
Breakfast full of wisdom
Until you hit the lights
Then another roundforget whos turn
Waking up to feel your stomach churn
Whos in the chair and whos on the floor
Incoherants knocking on the door
Old man in the morning
Young man at night
Breakfast full of wisdom
Until you hit the lights
Hit the lights
