An Anthem for the inevitable decline

The subject of growing old has long been a subject popular of rock. You cant avoid it, we all get old and die (sorry, its kind of true). It's a fear averyone who considers themselves remotely human experiences, not daily I hope however.
Personally, Radiohead's "Bones" is the song that sums up these impending emotions the most beautifully - Angry with a hint of melancholy, simple but deep, a superb anthem for the motality we all face - "I used to fly like Peter Pan". It seems you still do Thom Yorke; you sadning, mopey, genius bastard. Now I'm truly ready to face the void.
