lyrics

Her mind is like a one year diary
Filled with 80 years of memories
The same news takes her breath away
Every day I have to say
Your husband passed away years ago

The look in her eyes is just as bright as ever
Her tongue is as clever as ever before
And it still takes me by surprise
That she’s unable to recognize
Faces she’s sheen a million times before

Dementia – makes me terrified to age
Dementia – is becoming a modern plague
Dementia – makes me terrified to age
Dementia – is becoming a modern plague
Just store her in a nursing home

Should I feel bad for being too reserved?
Or is this feel of guilt undeserved?
It wears me out to think about
What gives purpose to my life
Am I going through an existential crisis?

When is it OK so say goodbye?
How old should humans get before they die?
I wish that I could talk to you
Before you turn into a shell of your former self

Dementia – makes me terrified to age
Dementia – is becoming a modern plague
Dementia – makes me terrified to age
Dementia – is becoming a modern plague

Just store her in a nursing home
Give her food, keep her warm
Store her in a nursing home
Find some pills, give her some
Store her in a nursing home
Keep her safe, keep her warm
Store her in a nursing home
Give her some excylon
Store her in a nursing home

It wears me out to think about
What gives life purpose
What am I all about
It wears me out to think about
What gives life purpose
What am I all about

It wears me out to think about
What gives life purpose
What am I all about

It wears me out to think about
What gives life purpose
What am I all about

about

The Modern Times Tromsø, Norway

Probably the only band idiotic enough to base a song on the burger menu of their favourite bar. The Modern Times from Tromsø, Norway play jangly and jagged post punk, snotty punk rock and garage-infused power pop. And they're great at it!
