MID LIFE CHRIS
(words and music by Dave Milligan)

A dominant position in the marketplace
The petulant derision of your peers
A Spanish inquisition by the fireplace
A manic superstition lasting years

A brief infatuation with an underling
A certain agitation from the wife
A hurried explanation left her wondering:
An unplanned complication in your life

40 years on the ten-to-eight
From forest hill to forest gate
40 years on the underground
If you hit the target first time you miss what’s all around

An ill-advised flirtation with a motorbike
Obsessional fixation with your age
A crusty hard exterior made of hammerite
A superheated geezer full of rage

40 years on the ten-to-eight
From forest hill to forest gate
40 years on the underground
If you hit the target first time you miss what’s all around

  You only live once
  If Bond got it wrong 
  So do it all now ‘cos you haven’t got long

40 years on the ten-to-eight
From forest hill to forest gate
40 years on the underground
If you hit the target first time you miss what’s all around
