1.	Inbuilt Obsolescence 03:08	lyrics	buy track
Your eyes were always haunted Had a face that did not age Until the day it changes “Oh dear god…” Don’t fall in love Don’t fall in love With inbuilt obsolescence If I could hold a mirror What a strange occurrence there You must the harsh realities “Please no more!” Don’t fall in love Don’t fall in love With inbuilt obsolescence Don’t fall No, don’t fall in love
2.	A Picture of Youth 02:50	lyrics	buy track
A few years to live... Youth goes ... Beauty goes ... No triumphs left ... Past bitter defeats ... Something dreadful ... Dull in the eye ... False ideals of age ... So live! ... Live ... Only here for a season ... Year after year ... Limbs fail ... Turn into vulgar sock puppets ... Just haunted ... And so there is youth ... Youth ... Nothing but youth … Always ageing! Always ageing!
