Here we all are born into a [bad word] [bad word] so far but end up returning to dust

Oxfam panache and tips his hat
(laces undone)
He has no [bad word] with idle chat
(work to be done)
The songs he learned from scratched LPs
Stops in mid-flow to sip his tea

He [bad word] the chords with less than grace
(songs we all know)
Each passing year etched on his face
(sun, rain or snow)
The words he sings are not his own
They speak of things he'll never know
