lyrics

My heart is writing cheques that my body just can’t cash
And I’m slowing down a little every day
If I try to stay up late my system starts to crash
And I know exactly what it’s trying to say
But I’m not growing old, not growing old
I’ve still too many stories to be told
I’m not growing old, not growing old
I will never ever wear my trousers rolled
I won’t be like those ancient relics propping up the bar
Wearing cardigans
Starting arguments
Mixing up their names
Pushing walking frames
No I’m never, no not ever, growing old
Not growing old, not growing old

The clothes I’ve always worn are coming into style
But my back goes out twice as much as me
There’s nothing I can’t do but it takes a little while
And I can’t remember where I’m meant to be
But I’m not growing old, not growing old
I’ve still too many stories to be told
I’m not growing old, not growing old
I will never ever wear my trousers rolled
I won’t be like those ancient relics propping up the bar
Wearing cardigans
Starting arguments
Mixing up their names
Pushing walking frames
Singing oldie songs
With the words all wrong
Talk the night away
About the good old days
No I’m never, no not ever, growing old
Not growing old, not growing old

Tommy Keyes Ireland

After an absence of nearly 40 years, Tommy Keyes returns with a stockpile of great songs that defy categorisation. Rock? Pop? “It’s 1970s singer-songwriter music”, he says, “because that’s what I am.”
