    Older is the third studio album from George Michael, released in Europe on 13 May 1996 through Virgin Records and one day later in the United States. The American release was the very first album released by DreamWorks Records. It was his first album since 1990's Listen Without Prejudice, Vol. 1 – the five-and-a-half-year gap was due to the controversial legal battle that Michael experienced with his record company. Michael dedicated three years straight in the recording of Older, and the album found him exploring new musical territories in a more serious fashion compared to his previous work.

    At the time of release, the album was a huge commercial hit, particularly in Europe, but was received in America with a lukewarm critical approval and mediocre sales figures. In the UK, the album was particularly notable for producing six Top Three hit singles in a two-year span, creating a record still unsurpassed. The high sales of the album presaged a re-issue of the album under the name of Older & Upper eighteen months after its original release.

    Older

    by: David Wilcox

    I grow older.
    Getting wiser, everyday.
    'Cause when I fall down now
    I don't jump back up.
    I let 'em count to eight.
    Slower.
    Getting slower.
    I have lost a step or two.
    It's time to face the facts.
    Buy a pair of plaid slacks
    'n sit around like old guys do.
    'Cause when I go out late at night
    To have a beer
    I sit and wonder why my friends aren't here.
    Is this a joke on me?
    They're all home playing with their families.
    I am the oldest person in this bar
    And I am drinking with children on a field trip to observe me in
    My habitat.
    Quiet.
    It's so quiet
    In my house
    When I get home
    I got three mean fish,
    And a yellow dog.
    I do not live alone.
    When I close my eyes at night
    I feel so small
    Like I never really loved at all.
    'Cause if I did I'd have some proof.
    Another life or two beneath my roof.
    It's just a bad recurring dream I have
    When I suspect I have misspent my youth.
    Could have fooled me too.
    Childish.
    It's so childish
    To resist the dying light.
    But I'm still the same.
    Some things never change.
