XTC - Dying Lyrics

It frightens me when you come to mind
The day you dropped in the shopping line
And my heart beats faster when I think of all the signs
All the signs

When they carried you out your eyes was open wide
The cat went astray and the dog did pine for days and days
And I felt so guilty when we played you up
When you were ill, so ill

What sticks in my mind is the sweet jar on the sideboard
And your multicolored tea cosy
What sticks in my mind is the dew drop hanging off your nose
Shriveled up and blue

And I'm getting older too
But I don't want to die like you
Don't want to die like you
Don't want to die like you

I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die
(Don't want to die)
I don't wanna die like you
(Like you)
Don't want to die like you, like you
