Salad Days
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
As I’m getting older, chip up on my shoulder
Rolling through life, to roll over and die
La, la, la, la
Oh
Missing hippy Jon, salad days are gone
Remembering things just to tell ‘em so long
La, la, la, la
Oh
Oh mama, actin’ like my life’s already over
Oh dear, act your age and try another year
Always feeling tired, smiling when required
Write another year off and kindly resign
La, la, la, la
Oh
Salad days are gone, missing hippy Jon
Remembering things just to tell ‘em so long
La, la, la, la
Oh
Oh mama, actin’ like my life’s already over
Oh dear, act your age and try another year
