Help the Aged Lyrics
Help the aged
One time they were just like you Drinking, smoking cigs and sniffing glue Help the aged Don't just put them in a home Can't have much fun when they're all on their own Give a hand, if you can Try and help them to unwind Give them hope and give them comfort Cos they're running out of time In the meantime we try Try to forget that nothing lasts forever No big deal so give us all a feel Funny how it all falls away When did you first realise? It's time you took an older lover baby Teach you stuff although he's looking rough. Funny how it all falls away Help the aged Cos one day you'll be older too You might need someone who can pull you through And if you look very hard Behind those lines upon their face You may see where you are headed And it's such a lonely place In the meantime we try Try to forget that nothing lasts forever. No big deal so give us all a feel Funny how it all falls away When did you first realise? It's time you took an older lover baby Teach you stuff although he's looking rough. Funny how it all falls away You can dye your hair But it's the one thing you can't change Can't run away from yourself In the meantime we try Try to forget that nothing lasts forever No big deal so give us all a feel Funny how it all falls away When did you first realise? It's time you took an older lover baby Teach you stuff although he's looking rough Funny how it all falls away Funny how it all falls away So help the aged

beautiful song indeed, and itīs a message to all youth, telling them "you idiots, appreciate old people, they were just like you, and you will all be like them, so.....fucking respect them and help the, spend time with them"
and itīs an everyday thing in europe.......old people abandonned in an appartment by their sons.....left alone and dying slowly.....so cruel....that when they die, sometimes, neighbours only realized the really died when their bodies start to decompose and the smell coming from their appartments is damn strong.

one of the greatest lines ever is: 'One time they were just like you
Drinking, smoking cigs and sniffing glue'. you can't have any humour if you do not like this one! simply great kind of dealing with a problem that wil occur to the most of us.

In "Help The Aged", Jarvis pretty much materializes his fears and uncertainties typical of this crisis ("the sound of someone losing the plot", as stated on "The Fear") through a feeling of sympathy for "the aged", old people. He urges (seemingly, to the youth) for them to be cared, to be given comfort... " 'cause one time they were just like you"... Of course, he realizes he's becoming one of those "aged" ones, that's what generates his sorrowful sympathy towards them. "Funny how it all falls away", he sighs in an ironic resignation, contemplating his own aging. He's just discovered, much against his own will, that "nothing lasts forever", not even youth. He himself has seen in the eyes of the aged his own future, "where he's headed", and he warns the youngsters the bad omen: "and it's such a lonely place".
As for the verse naming "an older lover", he's simply recommending to some girl to pick up an older lover, since he can offer "experience", despite "looking rough". Probably it's a pick-up speech he tries to use on a girl to woo her. Since he's not considered young anymore and knows it, he looks at the aged and tries to emphasize whatever virtues he sees on them.
