He stepped out of the film again

Brushed off the dust and walked away

The touch of a hand was fading from him

A different scene began



A voice-over through scenes of sunrise

"It feels like someone's using my eyes"

Tinsel wind and curtains blowing

He looked down at his hands



Chorus:



He was a new kind of man

He was a new kind of man

He was a new kind, a new kind of man



He feels the rain upon his face

He's young again, nineteen again

Blue hills on a distant skyline

Someone took his hand



An underwater kind of silence

Humming of electric pylons

"Don't forget me" fades in static

Another scene began



(Chorus)



Transparent faces from the old school

No-one to project them onto

He drives by 1958

And someone says his name



He waved out of the film again

He turned and he flickered and he walked away

He felt a distant kind of longing

Another scene began



(Chorus
