Best Laid Plans

Wake up sleepy head get out of bed and light the fuse
Pour yourself a coffee slice of toast and read the news
Open up the window breathe the air and face the day
And take all that is urgent and hide it all away
Cause you don’t really want to think about it no not anymore
It’s just a sad sad situation moving through the door
Don’t want to pack bags don’t want a life of getting old and feeling strange
But all the best-laid plans submit to change
Go get out the house take a walk around the park
Lap the reservoir and see the dogs and hear them bark
Joggers racing by young families are pushing prams
The florist trims the flowers to place them in your hands
But you don’t really want to think about it no not anymore
It’s just a sad sad situation moving through the door
Don’t want to pack bags don’t want a life of getting old and feeling strange
But all the best-laid plans submit to change
Go meet all your friends grab a round and share a joke
Wait until it lands and then you laugh until you choke
Gaze around the table take it in cause soon it’s gone
Your favourite souvenir from a life now moving on
But you don’t really want to think about it no not anymore
It’s just a sad sad situation moving through the door
Don’t want to pack bags don’t want a life of getting old and feeling strange
But all the best-laid plans submit to change
All the best-laid plans submit to change
All your best-laid plans submit to change
