"Old Man"

Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.

Old man look at my life,
Twenty four
and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two.

Love lost, such a cost,
Give me things
that don't get lost.
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you.

Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true.

Lullabies, look in your eyes,
Run around the same old town.
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you.

I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past.
But I'm all alone at last.
Rolling home to you.

Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true.

Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.







Go to Neil's Garage for a treat.
Support the anti-war artists. He's had more practice than many. You can hear the whole thing at this site.

Now that I'm all nostalgic, if you beg real nice, I'll tell you about the time Timothy Leary and I got stoned and drunk and nursed hangovers for a three day weekend in Atlanta a few years before he died. (I loved that guy, he was the most real person I ever met). You know, a few of Tim's and Gene Roddenbery's ashes may still in orbit around the earth?

Space final frontier for Timothy Leary

Ashes of LSD guru, 'Star Trek' creator to rocket into orbit

(CNN) -- LSD guru Timothy Leary and "Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry may be dead, but they're about to hitch a ride into space.

A portion of their ashes, and those of 22 other people, are tucked under the belly of an airplane scheduled to take off on Monday from the Canary Islands off the coast of Spain.

The Pegasus rocket propelling them into orbit will be launched horizontally from the plane while it's in flight.

The main mission, however -- a joint project between the University of California-Berkeley and a Spanish aerospace institute -- is to launch Spain's first research satellite.

As a sort of piggy-back mission, Texas-based Celestis Inc. bought space on the rocket to put cremated human remains in orbit.
