about

I started feel my age this year; aches, pains, etc. One particular day it seemed like everything hurt. This song came to me quickly. Can any of you identify with it??

lyrics

Body Baggage Blues

by Peter Kern

My arms hurt me
My legs hurt me
My hands hurt me
My teeth hurt me

My shoulders hurt me
My toes hurt me
My fingers hurt me
My knees hurt me

Whoa What am I gonna do
What am I gonna do
Feel like the reaper's standing outside my door

My feet hurt me
My nose hurts me
My heart hurts me
My ass hurts me

My elbows hurt me
My ears hurt me
My ankles hurt me
My lungs hurt me
Whoa What am I gonna do
What am I gonna do
Putrefied from every pore

Musical Break

Feel like a prisoner in my own body
Just like a passenger of the brain
Like a broken down old jalopy
Skidding recklessly through the rain

I need to call a conference
For my enemies to attend
For each and every body part
They used to be my friends


My wrists hurt me
My neck hurts me
My hips hurt me
My bones hurt me

My eyes hurt me
My thighs hurt me
My belly hurts me
My back hurts me
Whoa What am I gonna do
What am I gonna do
Like a tin man's petrified wood

Musical Break

These accusers are saying I'm guilty
That I ignored them all for too many years
Well then send bouquets of calla lilies
They'll make some deathly souvenirs

We got to some urgent steps
Try and rise up from the depths.
Together we can win
This internal war
you whore

Spoken:

That's what we gonna be

Do it like you done it before

It's gonna feel so good when were all strong and healthy again

I'll take you all out to a giant dinner...No?
