about

Borrowing liberally from Curtis Mayfield's hit, "It's Alright," I've written a song about my fears of growing old. It might be the most appropriate song of this collection. It's working title (for five years, at least) was "Please Don't Ever Put Me In The Home."

lyrics

(It's alright)
Dm C
Child, stitch by my side
G G
right until the end
Dm C
but when I won't get better
G G
do not lie or pretend

for I've had a good time
in this life of mine
and it's alright
yeah it's alright

Don't leave me alone
in my final minute
don't put me in the home
don't promise you'll visit

I've had a good time
in this life of mine
and it's alright
yeah it's alright

Don't feed me on tubes
if I'm not gonna make it
Don't need the abuse
If I'm going, don't fake it

I've had a good time
in this life of mine
and it's alright
yeah it's alright

When it comes my time
and there's nought to be done
If there's any good left
Sew it into someone

I've had a good time
in this life of mine
and it's alright
yeah it's alright

Help yourself if you need
an old eye for your face
And I'll help you see
that it's no disgrace

I've had a good time
in this life of mine
and it's alright
yeah it's alright

And please take my heart
to hold in your breast
with every beat
you know I love you best

I've had a good time
in this life of mine
and it's alright
yeah it's alright


Songs don't need to be for or against anything. Sometimes it's better just to observe. Are you an organ donor? An organ recipient? What about an organ player? If you get a job, you may be entitled to compensation.
