[Verse 1]
It frightens me when you come to mind
The day you dropped in the shopping line
And my heart beats faster when I think of all the signs
All the signs

[Verse 2]
When they carried you out your mouth was open wide
The cat went astray and the dog did pine for days and days
And I felt so guilty when we played you up
When you were ill, so ill

[Chorus]
What sticks in my mind
Is the sweet jar on the sideboard
And your multicoloured tea cozy
What sticks in my mind
Is the dew-drop hanging off your nose
Shrivelled up and blue

[Bridge]
And I'm getting older, too
But I don't want to die like you
Don't want to die like you
Don't want to die like you
[Outro]
(Don't want to die like you)
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die like you
Don't want to die like you
