Autumn has arrived once more
The season of brilliant hues
Just before the winter blues

Now I am in my senior years
I am hoping to take things slow
But you never know
Which way things are going to go
Where will the wind blow

The future is looking bleak
I am feeling so weak

Old
A cross that I have to bear
A burden that I cannot share
A government that doesn't care
No winter fuel allowance for me
While MPs get theirs for free
Old
What am I to do
When the cold is turning me blue

I put in a shift of fifty years
Paid my dues the full amount
But for nothing does it count

A labour party newly in power
Broken promises then lies
My what a surprise
The vulnerable we will protect
But all they do is neglect

Old
Nobody gives a shit
You are just a silly old git
You're own your own mate
Make a will it's never too late
You decide to eat or heat
Try fasting to make your life complete
Old
What am I to do
When the cold is turning me blue

The winter is upon me now
I'm down on my knees
And you will let me freeze

Old
A cross that I have to bear
A burden that I cannot share
A government that doesn't care
No winter fuel allowance for me
While MPs get theirs for free
Old
What am I to do
When the cold is turning me blue
