Christmas in the sun, working on those lines |
|
Is more dangerous than terrorism or crime |
|
You're more likely to burn up in Beirut or Belize |
|
Than wake up in a market-place with shrapnel in your knees |
|
Just don't go upstairs |
|
Cosmopolitan says |
|
'Don't go upstairs - gravity keeps you young' |
|
Promise you'll be there when age plucks out my hair |
|
And pins it to my chest, please don't get too depressed |
|
We'll both age in a straight line unless one of us has |
|
A breakdown in our fifties or soaks too long in the bath |
|
Just don't go upstairs |
|
Cosmopolitan says |

'Don't go upstairs - gravity keeps you young' |
|
I have seen into the future |
|
Everyone is slightly older |
|
First you're fat and then you shrink |
|
Into a common curse |
|
I have been on television |
|
In principle if not reality |
|
Truth applies in both dimensions |
|
Truth applies in both directions |
|
Christmas in the sun (in sandals) |
|
Working on those lines (those badges) |
|
Is more dangerous than (just as dangerous) |
|
Terrorism or crime (terrorism or crime) |
|
You're more likely to burn up (baby!) |
|
In Beirut or Belize (Northampton?) |
|
Than wake up in a market-place (oh no!) |
|
With shrapnel in your knees (shrapnel in your knees) |
|
Just don't go upstairs |
