Lyrics

(This is for Michael. There comes a time when we realize that we have turned into our parents. A great song by Squeeze.)

I signed so many papers
Just to live in mortgage land
Weekends all spent at home
The paper towels in big demand
 
Another week just rolls right by
The only (golf) course I saw was on Channel Nine
Friends come over and drop by
I’d love to cook but don't have the time
 
‘Cause I’m in the back yard,
Down on my hands and knees
It’s like looking in a mirror
I see my future there in front of me
Doing yard work like my Dad
Doing yard work like my Dad
