Taken from the 1997 New Friend EP

lyrics

I’ve got no reason to throw things around
They never land anywhere exciting
I’ll meet you half way; I’ll meet you further
But it’s got to be inviting

Am I too old
to find wonder and marvel in anything new?
Am I too old
to hold anything of interest to you?

And why should I see you
when I can see UK Gold?
You wouldn’t remember
But I do cos I’m so old

Stepped into the cave because I heard your voice
Now my body is slowly decaying
I can’t pretend I didn’t come here by choice
I wanted to believe what you were saying

Am I too old
for my cells to generate fast enough?
Am I too old
to hang on in there when life gets too tough?

And why should I see you
when I can see UK Gold?
You wouldn’t remember
But I do cos I’m so old

I’ve got no x 8

I’ve got no reason to throw things around
I’m still picking up what I’ve already found
Your face may change but I know your name
Oh your face may change but you’re always the same
