lyrics

12. Too Old To Care
© Brian Bedford (Bedspring Music)

I’m too slow to be chasing
But I’m too fast to be chaste
I’m much too much to handle
And I’ve no time to waste

‘cos I am too old to be hot
And I’m too young to be square
I’m old enough to know better
But I’m too old to care

I’m too late for the first time
And I’m too early for last
I’m too good to be missed though
And I’m too bad to be past

‘cos I am too old to be hot
And I’m too young to be square
I’m old enough to know better
But I’m too old to care

Folks say I should grow up and maybe act my age
But I’m still sixteen and I’m still green and age is just a mind cage
I’ll wear a frown if I slow down that’s really not my way
I’ve had enough I’m breaking free
You youngsters better watch out for me

‘cos I’m too young to be mellow
And I’m too ripe to be stored
I’m too good to be wasted
And I’m too bright to be bored

‘cos I am too old to be hot
And I’m too young to be square
I’m old enough to know better
But I’m too old to care

Spring is wasted on the young and wisdom on the old
Too young to know too old to do too bad is what we’re told
Don’t plan to just roll over don’t plan to drift away
And if I’d known then what I know now
I’d do it all again and again and again and how

But I’m too slow to be chasing
And I’m too fast to be chaste
I’m much too much to handle
And I’ve no time to waste

‘cos I am too old to be hot
And I’m too young to be square
I’m old enough to know better
But I’m too old to care (Repeat)

Steel Songbirds Sheffield, UK

Steel Songbirds are Marilla Homes and Emily Eastwood. A comic and poignant musical duo based in Sheffield UK. Blending acapella voices, with occasional fiddle or bouzouki, these girls know how to laugh!

Steel Songbirds were dug from the soil of Australia & England, forged in Sheffield UK, tempered in the swimming pool of life & sharpened on the wit of singledom in the folk/pub/archaeology worlds. ... more
