lyrics

Well it's half past ten and I've not stopped to think
'Cos it's hard to keep your eyes shut
When your mind's been on the blink
And the news is full of grim predictions
Science fiction
And pop-star secret drug prescriptions
To help you chase those miracles away

Woah, woah, woah

You're a little bit older
Wiser than you thought
But that's no surprise
You're older, wiser than you felt before
And you're not sure
How much of this that you can take
The best mistakes are the ones that you're yet to make
Aim for the stars and hit the moon
'Cos it's eleven in the afternoon

It was twelve-fifteen when I rolled out of bed
But I had to take the chance
To rest my weary little head
And I'm sick to death of patronising
Socialising
Wolf-in-sheep's-clothes advertising
Psychopaths who've pissed it all away

Woah, woah, woah

You're a little bit older
Wiser than you thought
But that's no surprise
You're older, wiser than you felt before
And you're not sure
How much of this that you can take
The best mistakes are the ones that you're yet to make
Aim for the stars and hit the moon
'Cos it's eleven in the afternoon
