Now I`m feeling old and tired br No longer do I feel inspired br To write or paint or dance or sing br Or do any blessed thing br But take to my favourite chair, br Turn on the telly and stare and stare. br Small wonder that I`ve got the blues br I`ve just been listening to the news br Death and carnage everywhere, br Millions living in despair. br Murders, muggings by the score, br Religious conflict more and more, br All of this affects my head, br So I`ll take a sleeping pill, then bed.
