Cotton Tops Lyrics by Chris Difford

Cashmere If You Can

2011

[Verse 1]
When they wheel me in, to Silverville
I will dribble words, I will lose my will to survive
With the cotton tops every night
I'm stuck in a room, watching TV
With a cord to pull by my bed
In case I have an accident
Forced to drink soup, sucking white bread
Forking around every meal
Maybe God will do a deal

[Chorus 1]
Comedians come to tell you bad jokes
I sit on the sofa and grin
I don't know if it's out or it's in
Everyone sleeps for most of the day
Until you're invited to dance
And you fall into some old girl's arms

[Verse 2]
When they wheel me in, to Silverville
I will dribble words, I will lose my will to survivе
With the cotton tops every night
Victor's just diеd, right there in his chair
And Betty has gone for her hip, and Peter's on his drip
I never thought that my time would come
Life seems to be on re-peat
As I shuffle on my feet

[Chorus 2]
So what's life been for, to just be ignored?
Fuck the jigsaws all day
I want to live I don't want to fade... away
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away
