The Six Fingered Hand |
| I remember when I was a kid, the past century seemed special |
| All the decades were lined up just like a set of coloured pencils |
| The fifties, the sixties, the seventies, oh, they all looked so exotic |
| I was certain the years yet to come would be just as iconic |
| Now they’ve been and gone |
| What the hell went wrong? |
| Where were all the amazing designs, fashions and movements and signs of the |
| times? |
| Looking at pictures of 2001 makes it feel like we got nothing done |
| We’re all afraid, dried up and useless |
| The six fingered hand crushes our throats |
| If you kidnapped a man from the nineties and brought him back to the present day |
| He’d probably die from the sheer disappointment 'cause everything looks exactly |
| the same |
| Braindead! Wasted! |
| I always dreamt of a musical happening, like the punk bands, two tone, |
| one of these |
| The only movement that I got caught up in was from CDs to MP3s |
| What a rip-off |
| Did we all have our ambition scared out of us, or is it just |
| That if all the stars are competition winners with fake tans and sob stories, |
| why bother building rockets? |
| We didn’t even try |
| They had The Beatles, we had 'the Coldplay sound' |
| They had the Pythons, we had The IT Crowd |
| Burnt out and all for jack |
| I want my twenties back |
| Let down, beat up, caved in |
| I want my twenties back |
| Six fat fingers grip at my neck and make my heart beat slower |
| Yes, slower |
| Slower |
