Mr
Twentieth Century Man
(Stephen Duffy)
Come over to my
garden lets listen to the trees
Swaying to the
rhythm set up by the breeze
I'd like to play
you new songs that I wrote on my knees
And if you'd like
to live here then we can cut some keys
The clothes you
wore you had to change
For you were
getting bored
In studied rags
do slip straps show
Now you can't be
ignored
Mister Twentieth
Century Man
You don't have
to pretend
That everything
won't end
Mister Twentieth
Century Man
Say goodbye to
your shoes
Turn off the
news
Mister Twentieth
Century Man it’s over
Who'll miss the
twentieth century man?
Haven't I been
lucky? I've been allowed to sing
Fooled them when
they bought me I didn't sell a thing
I want to make
you happy I want this song to bring
All the love in
this world the last tulips of spring
A way to live,
A way to go
These things I
can not find
But when I think
I'm all played out
A song will come
to mind
Mister Twentieth
Century Man
You don't have
to pretend
That everything
won't end
Mister Twentieth
Century Man
Say goodbye to
your shoes
Turn off the
news
Mister Twentieth
Century Man it’s over
Who'll miss the
twentieth century man?
Mister Twentieth
Century Man
Mister Twentieth
Century Man
