Lyrics
1988 version

Clean up before she comes (x4)
Living in a dusty dump (x2)

(There's) something in her eyes, seems to be the smoke from my lungs
(There's) something in her eyes, must be the smoke from my.. lung

I must be getting old (I must be getting older)
I must be getting old (I'm starting to eat my vegetables)
I must be getting old (I must be getting older)
Is it the thing to you(?) (I'm starting to eat my vegetables)

Is it.. in her eyes, seems to be the smoke from my lungs
(There's) something in her eyes, must be the smoke from my.. lungs

Clean up the dusty dump
Living in a dusty dump (x3)
Clean up before she comes (x3)
Living in a dusty dump

(There's) something in her eyes, must be the smoke from my lungs
(There's) something in her eyes, must be the smoke from my.. lung

I must be getting old (I must be getting older)
I must be getting old (I'm starting to eat my vegetables)
I must be getting old (I'm starting to getting older)
I must be getting old (I'm starting to eat my vegetables)
I must be getting old (I must be getting older)
I must be getting old (I'm starting to eat my vegetables)
I must be getting old (I must be getting older)
I must be getting old (I'm starting to eat my vegetables)
I must be getting old (I must be getting older)
I must be getting old (I'm starting to eat my vegetables)
I must be getting old (I must be getting older)
I must be getting old (I'm starting to eat my vegetables)
I must be getting old (I must be getting older)
I'm starting to eat my vegetables
