He doesn''t like to mention
Applying for his pension
So his children don''t know he''s heading
Into a mid-life crisis
He cant afford the prices for
The new kitchen floor he''s buying
Pre chorus 2
He''s been a drunk all his life
Two kids, a dog and a wife
He doesn''t know
And in the daytime he just sits and watches television shows
Chorus

You feel down and blue
