about

From the now-deleted Sitting Target Music label sampler The Germinal Disc.
A new version will appear on the forthcoming Penguin Party album Sex Furniture Warehouse, available late 2010

lyrics

There’s no fool like an old fool and I’m older and more foolish everyday;
Optimism overcomes the evidence and blows it all away
(But it’s lurking in the corner)
There’s no thrill like a new thrill, like a new toy on a grasping Christmas day
But what’s still there by autumn? Just the good stuff and the rest is thrown away
(Or hidden in the closet)

Let’s play
Squeak piggy squeak and bling drunk’s buff
Let’s play
Let’s play while we’re still young enough

There’s no songs like the old songs and we’ll sing ‘em as we’re dancing out the door
And every generation writes their new songs, but we’ve heard them all before
(Sing it loud; my ears are tired)

Let’s play
Let’s play a song that fills the room
Let’s play
While we can still carry a tune

Out in the long grass
Out in the sun
Before our free bus pass
While we can still run

Let’s play
Why stay in when you want to come out?
Let’s play
Be the parents that our people warned us about
