From the album Too Much Television,

Words: R.Hayes
40 seconds of old
40 seconds of new my friend
I'm drinking a little wine
To make my way home I find
40 seconds of old
40 seconds of old my friend
40 seconds of old
A scene across my mind
Beautiful green, a field so wide
Smiles and sun and laughter too
An indelible image all of you
40 seconds of old
40 seconds of old my friend
40 seconds of old
40 pieces of silver
Sailing in the midday sun
Not Captain Cook nor Long John Silver
Can rob my treasure, rob my one
40 seconds of old
40 seconds of old my friend
40 seconds of old
I could put a bullet in my teeth
Find me some light relief
The sunlight glints in my eye
And when I smile I forget why
40 seconds of old
40 seconds of old my friend
40 seconds of old
Dark and grey, long and old
Anywhere, anyhow I break the mould
Passes with my ghosting eye
And then I smile and I forget why
40 seconds of old
40 seconds of old my friend
40 seconds of old
