‘Just Wish You Were Younger, Baby'


Outside the café, Thai youth and beauty
And the salt from your eyes informs your Yorkshire tea
Somehow, they managed to realize their dream
Before they even turned eighteen

Don't you just wish you were younger, baby?

Fertile curves decorate a quarterly magazine
Propagated by specialist psychologists and G.P.s
It's become too late for you to feel the ecstasy
Of subcutaneous fat on your hips and knees

Don't you just wish you were younger, baby?

I know you just wish you were younger, baby…
