The Magnetic Fields - Time Enough For Rocking When We're Old

I usually like more upbeat songs, but this slow acoustic song rocks with baratone vocals.


Someone should do a dance remix of this song.

The Lryics

There'll be time enough for rocking when we're old
We can rock all day and rock in terms of cold
But tonight I think I'd rather just go dancing
There'll be time enough for rocking when we're old, my love

There'll be time enough for talking in nursing homes
Darling, time enough to write an epic poem.
But tonight I think I'd rather just go dancing
There'll be time enough for talking in the mall, my love

There'll be time enough for sleeping when we're dead
We will have a velvet pillow for your head
But tonight I think I'd rather just go dancing
There'll be time enough for sleeping when we're dead, my love

There'll be time enough for sex and drugs in hell
When our pheromones are turned up to eleven
But tonight I think I'd rather just go dancing
There'll be time enough for sex and drugs in heaven
And time enough for rocking when we're old
