The last time I used them was in a resignation letter many years ago. This is to say I'm resigning from today I've had my fill of growing older standing still. |

This is to say that I'm resigning from today I've had my fill of growing older standing still This collar chafes and now I know it always will This is to say that I'm resigning from today You''ll fill my chair, there'll be a younger man somwhere Who'll gladly smile, and say he'll try it for a while Until he finds he's just a card inside a file You'll fill my chair, there's always younger men somewhere All I've accrued, well won't you send it to my wife She'll need the cash to help her start a brand new life She'll find a man, it seems that loneliness is rife In middle age, it's all the rage I'll send a view, a picture postcard back to you A girl, a beach, she'll be the pupil I can teach You'll pin it up and always think it's out of reach I'll send a view, a picture postcard back to you I hope you'll see I've done the only thing for me Don't think me wrong, but life's a novel, not a song It needs a plan, not just a line to sing along I hope you'll see I've done the only thing for me I'mm on my way, yes, I'm resigning from today I know it's late, but life's a lover that won't wait And when I've gone don't let your hoping turn to hate this is to say that I'm resigning from today. As Rick so perspicaciously pointed out, this is an "everyman" song, only this time he's really ANGRY!!! |
