Every night I sit here by my window (window)
Starin’ at the lonely avenue (avenue)
Watching people going down to Tesco’s (Tesco’s)
And thinkin’ ’bout the things I used to do
(Thinkin’ of things) like taking a walk
(Things) like using a fork
(Things) like climbing the stairs (yeah-yeah)
What about getting out the chair?
Things that I don’t do now
Things doctor won’t allow
Thinkin’ ’bout the things I used to do
The internet is all I have to cling to (cling to)
And Facebook is the friend I’m talkin’ to (talkin’ to)
When I’m not thinkin’ ‘bout the state I’ve gotten into (into)
Well, I’m-a thinkin’ ’bout the things I used to do
(Thinkin’ of things) talking on the phone
(Things) knowing how to get home
(Things) like climbing the stairs (yeah-yeah)
What about getting out the chair?
Things that I don’t do now
Things doctor won’t allow
Thinkin’ ’bout the things I used to do
I still can play the music I grew up with
Remember gigs I went to with my friends (with my friends)
But I can’t hear a single sound and now my friends are not around
Well, it’s just me thinkin’ of the things I used to do
(Thinkin’ of things) like driving my car
(Things) like playing guitar
(Things) like climbing the stairs (yeah-yeah)
What about getting out the chair?
Things that I don’t do now
Things doctor won’t allow
Thinkin’ ’bout the things I used to do
And all the places that I’m never goin’ to
Ya got me thinkin’ ’bout the things I used to do
(sing along to Things by Bobby Darin – sorry Bobby)
