lyrics

Nana says
Hug the things that haunt you
Trouble wants your love
That's why it keeps on calling
That's why you keep picking up

Nana says
A cherry wine a day
Or maybe two will keep you from dying
Look at me, I am old, I am grey
Look at me, it must be working

A cheers and a wine
A cherry cherry wine
Nana says
Nana says
Nana says
Nana says

Take any LPs you like
I won't need them where I am going
Except the Carol Kings
Don't ask me why
But they need no any other needle but mine in them

Nana says
The pill with getting old is
You get to live to see nothing change
Power loves a monster
No-one believes the monster
Till the moment in the dark
When it's too late

A cheers and a wine
A cherry cherry wine
Nana says
Nana says
Nana says
Nana says
Get to know your neighbors
Bring them eggs and sugar
Cry with them on the verandah
Call the ambulance
And while they're away look after their kids
Someday the State will beg your blindness
To shoot them in the street

A cheers and a wine
A cherry cherry wine
Nana says
Nana says
Nana says
Nana says
The gift of love is sadness
I still make the tea for two cups
I won't need them where I'm going
So cut the lemons from the tree
For the neighbors in the street
To help themselves

Nana says
A cherry wine a day
Or maybe two will keep you from dying
Look at me, I am old, I am grey
Look at me, it must be working

A cheers and a wine
A cherry cherry wine
Nana says
Nana says
Nana says
Nana says
