Mr. 20th Century Man

Come over to my garden, let's 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 --- Mr. 20th Century Man - Stephen Duffy
