Keeping Up With The Grandchildren, Yeah Lyrics by James Yorkston, Nina Persson, The Second Hand Orchestra

The Great White Sea Eagle

2023

I went walking with old Brian
Up the slight hill behind the park
We were keeping up with the grandchildren, yeah
When out of nowhere
He tripped and fell and started rolling
Like a wrestler
Like an actor playing a crab caught in the tide
And I was scared, boys
Sure you'd possibly understand
I was scared, boys
And Brian caught my eye
What's happening at this stage of my life
I help him up, then flick a wrapper of an ice cream bar
Off from his back
Sure this ruffled oldster, he does not dеserve that
He ain't no youngstеr, he ain't no actor playing an older man
And here we stand, shoulder to shoulder, bewildered
And though the afternoon has hours left
We make our way back home
As if everything was fine
He's just an actor playing an older man
Keeping up with the grandchildren, yeah
Keeping up with the grandchildren, yeah
