Words and music by jimmy nail      You wake up in a dlfferent bed   Forgotten every word you said   Do you recognise the person next to you ?    You're sneeking down the backroom stairs   Braving all ihe public stares   What's a living legend supposed to do ?       I've been told that you're looking old   But you're still appearing well preserved to me   Let them stare, let them lose their hair   'cos you've seen the movie, read the book   You've been there, done that, set that look for free      You keep trying but you just can't win   You keep breathlng but the air's too thin   Keep knocking but you can't come in   Keep trying but you just can't win      Looking at your works of art   Banging your peroxide heart   You get them in a lucky bag for free   You said you couldn't live without it   So what you gonna do about it ?    Nostalgia's not the game it used to be      And I've been told about your bands of gold   But I have to say they cut no ice with me   Silver chains that dangle down   And you're tryin' hard to beat the clock   Dressed up shouting long live rock & roll      You keep trying but you just can't win   You keop breathing but the air's too thin   Keep knocking but you can't come in   Keep trying but you just can't win
