|
You can see the future |
|
Just stop and look around yer |
|
Oh, this impossible world was never meant to be |
|
And maybe we get what we deserve |
|
I've seen the evidence |
|
Packaged experience, things I want but know I'll never need |
|
No way, no way |
|
The fame economy |
|
Doll choreography the culture of complaint won't seek to understand |
|
The daisies in the sun mutate but still stay beautiful |
|
Always looking forward to a time when you'll look back on this and smile |
|
No way, no way |
|
City comedown |
|
Same as our town |
|
With this ring I see through every ocean rising, advertising they won't stop until it's all in bits upon the ground |
|
Screensave faces, Chinese walls divide |
|
Monitors flicker but I only saw the light behind your eyes |
|
We're part of a problem with no solution |
|
Everywhere you go, everything so cheap |
|
Someone's gonna pay |
|
From the daily rail to the NME, sing the same old song |
|
"They build you up they knock you down. Fifteen minutes counting down. Changes like the weather. You built me up you won't knock me down - I'm keeping both feet on the ground. And it's getting better!" |
|
Too much time's gone past |
|
It's winter, summer, spring |
|
Short sleeves in March |
|
Wake up, forage, eat, sleep and make it better |
|
A little better |
|
Always better |
|
And then some more |
|
Solemnly we piss away the peace before the war that always comes |
|
What if I could take you back to yesterday again |
|
Away from Kajadoodoo clerks and crazy frogs and optimists making poverty history |
|
And was there anything else? |
|
Back in 1980s |
|
First thing you see |
|
Where are all the dandies |
|
And you shouldn't trust your memory |
|
So banal and real and like it never went away |
|
Banned from the bookies - "Hey, mister, we got lucky!" |
|
"Two for The Smiths, please. And a can of Quatro." |
|
Starring in a film no-one will ever see | But you can see the future |
