lyrics

Bushy eyebrows, nasal hair
Creaking bones, mind's unclear
Doesn't matter.. what you do
No one's got the.. time for you
Doesn't matter what you say, no one listens anyway
You're getting old, here too long
Had your turn so move along
Getting old, drunk in hay
Get your carcass out the way
You're getting old
Getting old
Getting old
Getting old

Dry vagina, clogged up ears
Pee is painful, brain's not there
Meet your maker, misty eyes
Covid's got a.. nice surprise
Doesn't matter what you say, no one listens anyway
You're getting old, here too long
Had your turn so move along
Getting old, drunk in hay
Get your carcass out the way
You're getting old
Getting old
Getting old
Getting old

You're getting old, here too long
Had your turn so move along
Getting old, drunk in hay
Get your carcass out the way
You're getting old
Getting old

about

The Johnnies Christchurch, New Zealand

Formed in January 1982, The Johnnies made their original EP that year and played a final gig in Feb-1984 as the live venue clampdown on punk then was frustrating. Reformed Jan-2019, we now play often - with live studio album '1981' out now. Oi oi!
