Lyr Req: I Think about Sex All the Time (M Stutter

I am looking for lyrics to a song performed on NPR by a musician / comedian named (I believe) Mervin Stutter. He was at a folk festival in Edinburgh, Scotland. It was a very funny song about growing old and the break was: "And I think about sex all the time..." Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I wrote to Mervyn and he was kind enough to send the lyrics for the song he wrote which is called 'The Menopausal Soldier'. The CD from which the song comes is entitled "Songs for Menopausal Flower Children" and it is available from

He is a very nice man and excellent songwriter.


THE MENOPAUSAL SOLDIER

Now I got jowls and irritable bowels
I'm a martyr in the mornings to phlegm
My hair is receding – my gums are bleeding
I think I'll grow my ponytail again

Every time I cough – another bit drops off
I'm halfway through my life and in my prime
I got sweats – I got dreams
I got nasal sprays and creams
And I think about sex all the time

I got lines – I got bags
Yeah my whole body sags
The Laws of Gravity are so unkind
I forget I've boiled the kettle
I play too much heavy metal
And I think about sex all the time

I need help in the bath – my kids laugh
And I can't programme the DVD Machine
Can't read the labels on CDs - I'm allergic now to cheese
And my wife puts a white crease in my jeans

So while I feed the dogs – she goes out and jogs
She's saving herself she says for Jeremy Vine
She does Yoga and Tai Chi and Aromatherapy
And I think about sex all the time

Well my friends all play Squash
They buy power tools by Bosch
Wear underpants designed by Calvin Klein
I drink Scotch – I don't eat
I watch my eyebrows start to meet
And I think about sex all the time

I look at young mums in their jeans
I read Women's Magazines
And I think about sex all the time
