Talking Old Soldiers Lyrics - Tumbleweed Connection - Elton John

Why hello, say can I buy you another glass of beer? 

Well thanks a lot, that's kind of you, 

It's nice to know you care 

These days there's so much going on 

No one seems to wanna know 

I may be just an old soldier to some 

But I know how it feels to grow old

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Yea that's right 

You can see me here most every night 

You'll always see me staring 

At the walls and at the lights 

Funny I remember oh it's years ago I'd say 

I'd stand at that bar 

With my friends who've passed away 

And drink three times the beer that I can drink today 

Yes I know how it feels to grow old 

I know what they're saying son 

There goes old mad Joe again 

Well, I maybe mad at that, I've seen enough 

To make a man go out his brains 

Well do they know what it's like 

To have a graveyard as a friend 

'Cos that's where they are boy, all of them 

Don't seem likely I'll get friends like that again. 

Well it's time I moved off, 

But it's been great just listening to you 

And I might even see yer next time I'm passing through 

You're right there's so much going on 

No-one seems to wanna know 

So keep well, keep well old friend 

And have another drink on me 

Just ignore all the others, you've got your memories.
