Old Bones
Embracing the Wisdom of Old Bones: Harry Nilsson's Musical Journey
Lyrics
I just can't wait to get to old bones
I am eager to reach old age.
I said old bones, I said old bones
Reiteration of the anticipation of aging.
Take me to the land of moans and groans
Desire to experience a place characterized by sighs and complaints.
I said moans and groans, I said moans and groans
Repetition emphasizing the longing for a place of moans and groans.
Where physical health an mental wealth
In this place, physical health and mental wealth will go in opposite directions.
Will pass each other in different directions
Description of the divergence between physical health and mental wealth.
On the same road, at the same time
Illustration of both elements taking different paths on the same road simultaneously.
And everyone will be a friend of mine
Expressing a desire for everyone to be friends.
We'll be like fine old wine, we'll be like fine old wine
Envisioning a harmonious and refined state akin to aged wine.
I just can't wait to get to old bones
Reiteration of the eagerness to grow old.
I said old bones, I said old bones
Emphasizing the anticipation of aging once again.
Take me to the land of home sweet home
Desire to reach a place reminiscent of home.
I said home sweet home, I said home sweet home
Repetition highlighting the longing for a homey place.
Where living in peace and living in hurry
Imagining a state where peaceful and hurried living coexist.
Will pass each other without any hurry
Depicting a scenario where peace and hurry pass each other without urgency.
On the same road at the same time
Continuation of the imagery of divergent lifestyles on the same road.
And everyone will stop to say hello
Hopeful expectation that everyone will be friendly.
And everyone will know there'll be so little time
Anticipation that people will acknowledge the limited time available.
Where living in peace and living in hurry
Reiteration of the coexistence of peaceful and hurried living.
