Me And The Major
|
|
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 and then
|
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
|
Because the snow is falling
|
