lyrics

Practice Your Mind

When your brain gets old
The circuits start to unwind
The holes in your cortex
Make for gaps in your mind

You live in a fog
Of broken connections
Unexpected appointments
And unwelcome rejections

But just as athletes train
And actors rehearse
There's a way to prepare
As your brain gets worse

Drink early and often
Work under the influence
Get used to struggling to think
When nothing's making any sense

It can come as a shock
If your memory was keen
When you can't remember a name
Or where you've just been

But the drinker's had practice
At pretending he knows you
And lives in the moment
Not some time ago

So pick out your poi oi son
And empty your glass
Think of it like
A getting-old class

Drink early and often
Work under the influence
Get used to struggling to think
When nothing's making any sense

(Repeat)

Nothing's making sense
Nothing's making sense
Any more
