Lyrics

[residents] "The kids used to come and we'd give them chocolates" "well anyway, my mother told me one day they were upstairs were cleaning their bedrooms. you know, on top of the stairs! you know, ??? and I, I don't remember, she knocked us both down the stairs! She never heard us, and she opened the door, and down we went! And I'm here to tell the tale!" "I didn't mind going to the cotton mill, I wantеd to go to nursing, but mother couldn't see her way, she was lеft and unsteady" [unintelligible] "chasing around and chasing around. I'm not blowing me own horn, i'm only telling you the right." [piano intro] Old photographs, trinkets and souvenirs That's all that's left To show for these ninety years Oooh, talk to me I'm on my own Cause I'm old, you see Talk to me I'm all alone And I'd love the company The TV's still closed I don't even know what's on So I'll walk down the street Hoping to meet someone Talk to me I think you'll see, I'm just like you Talk to me It's not that hard, and every word is true And there was laughter almost every day (oooh oooh oooh oooh) And now those memories seem so far away (oooh oooh oooh oooh) The children grew up They all moved away from here But they've got their lives Suppose I'd just interfere Oooh, Talk to me Should I go on Or should I disappear Talk to me Are they too blind To see me here And there was laughter almost every day (oooh oooh oooh oooh) And now those memories seem so far away (oooh oooh oooh oooh) And I've watched a million years go by (oooh oooh oooh oooh) And every friend I've had has said goodbye (oooh oooh oooh oooh) [guitar solo] Oooh, talk to me I'm on my own Cause I'm old, you see Talk to me I'm all alone And I'd love the company Ooooh Talk to me Talk to me Why won't you talk to me? Talk to me [residents] "It's a long way to Tipperary To the sweetest girl I know! Goodbye Piccadilly Farewell Leicester Square! It's a long long way to Tipperary But my heart's right there!" "It's nice to sing, I like singing"
