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 ć
ťodawful sad affair?
and the lights were there to thrill you
my oh my
we live from time to time
and day by day
itćŻ the modern way
look at me IćŚ 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 itćŻ gone gone gone
my oh my
we live from time to time
and day to day
itćŻ the only way I know
look at me IćŚ speeding through
a self obsessive just like you
we can dance
we can dance the days away
1999
itćŻ the end of modern time
therećŻ panic in your eyes
so if you canć° 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
itćŻ the modern way
look at me IćŚ speeding through
self obsessed IćŚ just like you
we can dance
we can dance the night away
