lyrics

When the future belonged to the left
Well now there is nothing left

I never ever thought I'd ever get this far
In my old jelly mould car
Morris minor mirror memories show us what we left behind
Before we wasted all that time

And the old generation
Are still longing for their dance band days
Steam train railway station
Taking us all away

We're sick for the sixties
Do you think they miss me?
Build a time machine to take me back
And I won’t ever miss the CD
I won’t miss reality TV

I'm going to build model aircraft fighters
Well why were the winters much whiter?
In this dream mirror where I look
Was life ever that good?

So blame it on the transistor
Or blame it on ambition
Greed is a whore and you can’t resist her
Blame it all on Bob Dylan

We're sick for the sixties
Do you think they miss me?
Build a time machine to take me back
And I won’t ever miss the CD
I won’t miss reality TV

I'm going to go to university
I'll get a grant and I'll do it for free
And I might save the dead Kennedies
Be in a band with Dave Dee, Dozy and Beaky
And then I might fly up to the moon
But most of all I don't want to grow up too soon

When the future belonged to the left
And now there is nothing left
