The Lyrics
Carrying on the theme from last week's effort about Body Parts. Another unreleased one from 2014 or so. Original song on YouTube
Old and brown, textured by sun
Face been ‘round, with fine lines she runs
No doubt a plight
Sun-seeker blight
Cells U V drowned, lives old and brown
Every line, cussed with aghast
From pursed lips, pines for the past
Sandpapered hands
Creased are her cans
Nether-ish down, withered downtown
Broken down, former temptress
Cancer agents seeking their quest
Body betrayed
Stay, men, away
N’er goin’ down with old and brown
Talk of the town
Was, old and brown
Now slowing down
Is old and brown
Never goin’ down
With old and brown
Nervous breakdown
Has old and brown
Face been ‘round, with fine lines she runs
No doubt a plight
Sun-seeker blight
Cells U V drowned, lives old and brown
Every line, cussed with aghast
From pursed lips, pines for the past
Sandpapered hands
Creased are her cans
Nether-ish down, withered downtown
Broken down, former temptress
Cancer agents seeking their quest
Body betrayed
Stay, men, away
N’er goin’ down with old and brown
Talk of the town
Was, old and brown
Now slowing down
Is old and brown
Never goin’ down
With old and brown
Nervous breakdown
Has old and brown

Ha, good one. “From pursed lips, pines for the past” - don’t we all? Chuckled at “N’er goin’ down” too. No fun getting old & knackered out
