Silver in the Stubble: the first gray hairs, so a sign that you are past your youth. If you are an old plebian , you are gray, and have gray or white hair. In the case of royalty, yourself in your own esteem, or customers, etc, it's not gray but silver.

CHORUS: For(for  Oh!)the leaves are getting  *greener, And(and  the)spring is on the way; (And)Girls are getting * prettier And younger every day.

Copyright Sydney Carter The newspaper article above:FACTORY BOYS BRISTLE OVER STUBBLE BAN, wheatstraw & stubble after harvesting From the Sun, October 4, 1986. Workers were bristling (  look up "to bristle" , it comes from many animals' habit of reacting aggresively to intrusion, threat, or disturbance by  making their hair go vertical)yesterday over their bosses' ban... on trendy stubble beards.(aka "designer stubble".cf Miguel Bose, etc.) The firm's younger fellas (horrible sixties female slang fella = fellow) - who copy Wham! star George Michael's hairy style - have had to take the decision on the chin.( dreadful pun : to take something on the chin = accept a problem, face up to a blow, not run away, or sometimes that an attack has hit its target 100%) Some have been handed razors or sent home when they arrived at the Goodson lampshade factory in Hixon, Stafford. Management claim five-o-clock shadows give a bad impression to visitors from customers like Marks and Spencer. Managing director Phillip Goodson said yesterday: "We have high standards. It's disrespectful." Some of the lads called in( remember this phrasal verb = to consult/ask for the intervention of) their factory inspector to see if the razor ruling was legal. But they were told management was entitled to expect workers to look smart. One employee, who did not want to be named, complained: "You can still look smart with a bit of shadow. It's trendy."
