G
Help the aged
C
One time they were just like you
G
Drinking, smoking cigs and sniffing glue
Help the aged
Don't just put them in a home
Can't have much fun when their all on their own
C
Give a hand if you can
G
Try and help them to unwind
C
Give them hope and give them comfort
G
Cos they're running out of time
G
In the meantime we try
B
Try to forget that nothing lasts forever
C D
No big deal - so give us all a feel
C G
Funny how it all falls away
When did you first realise
It's time you took an older lover baby?
Teach you stuff - although he's looking rough
Funny how it all falls away
Help the aged
Cos one day you'll be older too
You might need someone who can pull you through
And if you look very hard
Behind those lines upon their face
You may see where you are headed
And it's such a lonely place
In the meantime we try, ha
Try to forget that nothing lasts forever
No big deal - so give us all a feel
Funny how it all falls away
When did you first realise
It's time you took an older lover baby?
Teach you stuff - although he's looking rough
Funny how it all falls away
Oh
C
You can dye your hair
G D C
But it's the one thing you can change
D
Can't run away from yourself
Yourself
Your se-se-se-se-se-se-se-se-se-se-se-seooohh
In the meantime we try (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Try to forget that nothing lasts forever
No big deal - so give us all a feel
Funny how it all falls away
When did you first realise
It's time you took an older lover baby?
Teach you stuff - although he's looking rough
Funny how it all falls away
Oh it's funny how it all falls away
Funny how it all falls away
Oh it's funny how it all
It all falls away
So help the aged

| perhaps he got sad to realize that when he was young he didnīt care bout his parents-grandfathers.........or he visited an elder people assylum and felt the lonelyness of it, and he saw himself being there beautiful song indeed, and itīs a message to all youth, telling them "you idiots, appreciate old people, they were just like you, and you will all be like them, so.....fucking respect them and help the, spend time with them" and itīs an everyday thing in europe.......old people abandonned in an appartment by their sons.....left alone and dying slowly.....so cruel....that when they die, sometimes, neighbours only realized the really died when their bodies start to decompose and the smell coming from their appartments is damn strong. | |

| It's about an older man trying to convince a younger woman that she should be with him. I work in a bar and I see it all the time. They try to brag that they are better and more accomplished because they are older rather than actually trying to seduce them properly. It's a pathetic plea that usually backfires. | |

| I have a feeling Jarvis is taking the piss out of a girl who likes to get laid with older men, maybe for money or stuff like that. How about that? | |

| Like so many of Pulp's songs, this conveys how everything we hold dear will wither and die, and we are destined for a "lonely place". All the romances, joys and sorrows we have are temporary, and will be worn away with time. We "try to forget that nothing lasts forever", because we don't want to see that nothing is eternal. I think that, like "Glory Days", it is a call to people to enjoy life while they are young, because it's all the time we really have. | |

| It's about Jarvis's own conflict of getting old and be left alone. | |

| today i heard this song after a long time period and in blew me away again like it did back then. one of the greatest lines ever is: 'One time they were just like you Drinking, smoking cigs and sniffing glue'. you can't have any humour if you do not like this one! simply great kind of dealing with a problem that wil occur to the most of us. | |

| Actually in a interview, he said he wrote it as a semi-midlife crisis. He wrote it at thirty-three/thirty-four, and its basically to feel sorry for himself that he was getting older. | |
