Me and the Major could become close friends cause we |
|
Get on the same train and he wants to talk to me |
|
Me and the Major could become close friends cause we |
|
Get on the same train and he wants to talk |
|
But there is too much history, too much biography between us |
|
Me and the Major don't see eye to eye on a |
|
Number of things, he'll take a guy like me oh yeah |
|
Me and the Major don't see eye to eye on a |
|
Number of things, he'll take a guy like me |
|
And put him in the army |
|
Cause the Queen's own army makes a man of you |
|
But he doesn't understand and he doesn't try |
|
He knows there's something missing and he knows it's you and I |
|
We're the younger generation, we grew up fast |
|
All the others did drugs |
|
They're taking it out on us |
|
They're taking it out on us |
|
Me and the Major are from different worlds, but if |
|
I get stuck in the lift it's always with a toff |
|
Me and the Major are from different worlds, but if |
|
I get stuck in the lift it's always with a man |
|
Of noble standing who looks down on me like I was never born |
|
I think the Major's going quite insane, he goes |
|
Along the pavement and comes back again, oh yeah |
|
I think the Major's going quite insane, he goes |
|
Along the pavement and comes back again |
|
Like he is on parade, and he is on parade |
|
At least he thinks so |
|
Now he is swapping his tent for a sheltered home |
|
He doesn't have a family, he is living alone |
|
He remembers all the punks and the hippies too |
|
And he remembers Roxy Music in seventy-two |
|
He doesn't understand and he doesn't try |
|
He knows there's something missing and he knows it's you and I |
|
We're the younger generation, we grew up fast |
|
All the others did drugs |
|
They're taking it out on us |
|
They're taking it out on us |
|
They're taking it out on us |
|
I want a dance, I want a drink of whisky so I |
|
Forget the Major and go up the town, oh boy |
|
I want a dance, I want a drink of whisky so I |
|
Forget the Major and go up the town |
|
Because the snow is falling |
