from Old Folk Get Angry Too (single) by The Penguin Party

/

about

Number two in a monthly series leading up to the release of the next album by The Penguin Party.

This is Dave Milligan's demo version of the song. The album version will be re-recorded by the full band, and will in all probability be quite different.
Your money goes towards the recording and manufacture of that album.

ALSO AVAILABLE on RECTANGULAR, BUSINESS CARD SIZED CD SINGLE, strictly LIMITED TO 10 COPIES ONLY!
The printed CD single comes in a numbered, glossy greeting card style cover, signed by the Dave (or the whole band if you don't mind waiting a few extra days) and containing a hand written personal greeting.

If you collect the full set you will be sent a free copy of the finished album before it's release date.

The DL and CD versions come with a FREE B-SIDE Download:
"Here Be The Chorus - 2013 REMAKE"

The rectangular cd single will play on tray-loading cd players which have a recess in the tray for 3inch cd singles, or any top-loading player which requires you to click the cd onto the spindle.
IT WON'T WORK IN SLOT LOADED PLAYERS (Cars, Apple Macs...) as far as we know, and we don't recommend you try it in one!

lyrics

Old Folk Get Angry Too
(Dave Milligan)

I was talking to an old bloke on the bus the other day
He was telling me a sorry tale of one that got away
Fought the Nazis in the war and decorated by the king
Had his cash nicked in the street and no one did a bloody thing

He said a yawny little scrawny little saucepan lid
Had ambled up behind him and demanded a few quid
Announcing his arrival with a Vincent Van Gogh
He asked the ‘Arry Lime and then he ripped him off

The kids today can be disgustin’
The things they do’ll do yer crust in

Old folk get angry too
Especially when they’ve had a few
they tend to be afraid of you
they're nervous of the things you do

old folk get angry too
intimidated by the new
frustrated by things they can't do
that come so easily to you


He had a posh old lady friend from up in Chorleywood
She’d asked him to move in with her, he said he surely would
Now their hair’s as dry as straw and their lips as dry as wine
He says “Come along with me luv, hurry up there’s not much time”

Tall as a tree, their roots still growing
Still hard as wood, but old leaves showing

old folk get randy too
especially when they've had a few
intoxicated by the view
get up to things you never knew

old folk get randy too
especially when they've had a few
the young don't like to think they do
they may be at it more than you
