about

A 1988 response to the lyric in the previous song ("The Old Man goes Right on Living." Also references the Old Again Young Again condition of She who must be obeyed (H. Ryder Haggard) and anticipates the search for The Last Dodo

lyrics

The Cliche said in brogue meant his wit's at end.
Sympathize, walk away.
When his talk's a worn out trend -
Though he's young, he's old again

The dismay of a mind in its second youth -
Skipping forth, up and down, back and forward.
Though it seems he's had it then,
He is old, but young again.

I asked him what he's after.
He's self-proclaimed a savior; he'd remake the
World patterned after his image.
But with an eye for what makes time go by he
Doesn't get excited he will do it again.
So smooth a cycle almost never wears thin.

Now he's off on a tour of the southern world
Well informed, immature, an explorer
Searching for eternal past.
Though he's old, he's young at last.

On a quest, his address, Central Africa.
Found his mate in a cave.
In his eyes she's good as gold.
She looks young, she's ages old. I

Wonder why he's with her.
He's just a stand in for her life companion,
Scared, masquerading as stable.

But she can look ahead, achieve objectives
Use his sensitivity to further some end.
He's very fragile and she's making him bend.

There's a world full of fear where he made his home.
He's a wreck, broken up (into pieces).
What he had he meant to spend.
Though he died, he lives to lend

The Cliche said in brogue when his wit's at end.
Sympathize, walk away.

Though he dies, he lives again.
