lyrics

Was a beautiful
Baby boy
You wondered what I'd become
Jesus Christ
In a fistfight
With Iron Mike Tyson

Good at school,
Almost cool,
But so, so, so nervous
Behind each smile
The frightened eye
Reservoir of helplessness

Give me some good twentieth century
Cooking, loving, radio, TV

I drove her car
All the way
Across the sand dunes and beach
In the mirror,
Couldn't be clearer,
The Mexican police

From a hospital bed
Virtually dead
The soul untethered in the air
You watch the kite
Flicker out of sight
Before falling back to earth

Give me some good twentieth century
Cooking, loving, radio, TV

1980s
Maternity ward
Dream of days to come
A new decade,
A new age,
A new millennium

For all the love
You gave to me
I could have been anything
Arthur Guinness,
Georgie Best,
But I amounted to nothing

Give me some good twentieth century
Cooking, loving, radio, TV

I shared your breath,
I shared your blood,
I shared your body first
The new age came,
Love stayed the same
For the old timers
