lyrics

Listen love, no one mistakes you for sisters,
just because you can fit into your daughters clothes.
So Listen good, I can see them lines are getting longer,
you're not getting any younger so let it go.

They told you " life begins at forty."
You've give it a chance.
Do you need to get on tables to dance?

Fake boobs, fake hair and make up.
I know nothing about old age.
But you're a grandmother now for heavens sake.
Fake eyelashes, stilettos, what would your children say?
You're a grandmother now for fucks sake.

Listen mate, no one thinks that you're Hugh Hefner,
just because you've ensnared a girl a third your age.
Listen mug, she only wants you for your wallet,
thats why she's feigning love. To beat the minimum wage.

They told you "Life begins at sixty."
Thats what you were told.
Another young girls soul bought and sold.

Fake boobs, fake hair and make up.
A girl a third your age.
You're a grandfather now for heavens sake.
Fake eyelashes, stilettos, what would your children say?
You're a grandfather now for fucks sake.

You've changed a million nappies.
Cleaned a thousand home.
A life spent looking after everybody else.
But number one.
You've raised all of your babies.
Beautiful daughters. Fine sons.
now your time's your own.

Fake boobs, fake hair and make up.
For your age you look great.
You're a grandmother now and that's ok.
Fake eyelashes, stilettos,
but she makes you feel great.
You're a grandfather now and that's ok.

Skellums Wales, UK

Skellums was formed because there was nothing else left to do.

Underneath all the dirty guitars and drums, there lives a pop song. Skellums believe, that as long as you have a melody, you can get away with all sorts.

Roberts.
Crichton.
Courtney.
Seery.
