Dying

[Verse 1]

It frightens me when you come to mind

The day you dropped in the shopping line

And my heart beats faster when I think of all the signs

All the signs

[Verse 2]

When they carried you out your mouth was open wide

The cat went astray and the dog did pine for days and days

And I felt so guilty when we played you up

When you were ill, so ill

[Chorus]

What sticks in my mind

Is the sweet jar on the sideboard

And your multicoloured tea cosy

What sticks in my mind

Is the dew-drop hanging off your nose

Shrivelled up and blue

[Bridge]

And I'm getting older, too

But I don't want to die like you

Don't want to die like you

Don't want to die like you

[Outro]

(Don't want to die like you)

I don't wanna die

I don't wanna die

I don't wanna die like you

Don't want to die like you
