| I watched women in Egypt crying tears of joy on my mobile telephone on the
|
| overground from Hackney Wick to Camden on my way to buy my girlfriend an
|
| engagement ring
|
| «Living In The Future» I thought
|
| The women were still crying tears of joy in Egypt when we switched the
|
| television on in Stephen Hague’s flat in Paris
|
| And when I switched the radio on, they were playing the ODB
|
| Shimmy shimmy ya shimmy yam shimmy yay
|
| Give em the mic or they will take it away
|
| Them old tricks won’t work cos its a new day
|
| Its a new level of the game and a new way to play
|
| Ave, I say
|
| PAX
|
| DONICUS
|
| Olé to every one of us
|
| Cos they been bombing us
|
| Bumming us
|
| But they failed numbing us
|
| And soon they’ll see that it is they that’s under us
|
| They say the worlds gone crazy
|
| Its amazing to me
|
| If these the last days baby then I’m grateful to be
|
| How fine
|
| To live interesting times
|
| We live in interesting times
|
| We’ve more than money on our minds
|
| We love each other how sublime
|
| Yo live interesting times
|
| We live in interesting times
|
| I had this ring in a box, in my left pocket
|
| It kept rattling
|
| I was trying to stop it rattling cos I didn’t want to give away the fact that I
|
| had a ring in a box
|
| Paris is beautiful
|
| But there is dogshit everywhere
|
| I saw a dictator on a live stream
|
| It was tragic
|
| He thought he was the only motherfucker with the magic
|
| He looked as if he never even dreamed of the day
|
| When the people would come and take his powers away
|
| But they never were his
|
| They were just borrowed
|
| A tissue for your sorrow
|
| We’re living in tomorrow
|
| Who knows what will follow
|
| I just know what I saw
|
| The thousands amassed
|
| The next day there were more
|
| They used the same words
|
| The words filled with power
|
| A vampire can only devour
|
| And cower in the presence of light
|
| And with many there is might
|
| And you dont need a weatherman to tell when the night is nearly over
|
| And day is dawning
|
| Born and bawling
|
| Six in the morning
|
| The wind changed and some got stuck with the silly face
|
| That couture dont suit you
|
| We’re living in the future
|
| They say the worlds gone crazy
|
| Its amazing to me
|
| If these the last days baby then I’m grateful to be
|
| How fine
|
| To live interesting times
|
| We live in interesting times
|
| We’ve more than money on our minds
|
| We love each other how sublime
|
| To live interesting times
|
| We live in interesting times
|
| Now this isn’t quite the end of the sotry
|
| And I know some of you at home are wondering what she said
|
| What do you think she said?
|
| YES! |
