I started feeling blue

back in 1972

barefoot in the street

I had patches on my jeans



and high up in the hills

they were nodding out on pills and booze

a ?odawful sad affair?

and the lights were there to thrill you



my oh my

we live from time to time

and day by day

it? the modern way

look at me I? speeding through

self obsessive

just like you

we can smile

oh yeah we can smile



1984

and school was out for summer

I was hot for teacher

well you should have seen our double feature



started feeling fine

in the winter of 1989

such an underrated year

but it? gone gone gone



my oh my

we live from time to time

and day to day

it? the only way I know

look at me I? speeding through

a self obsessive just like you

we can dance

we can dance the days away



1999

it? the end of modern time

there? panic in your eyes

so if you can? get muscles

then you better get yourself a tan

and be a real man

cos the heroes that you worshipped

are all gone gone gone



my oh my

we live from time to time

and day to day

it? the modern way

look at me I? speeding through

self obsessed I? just like you

we can dance

we can dance the night away
