- 20th century man
I was born in a welfare state
Ruled by bureaucracy
Controlled by civil servants
And people dressed in grey
Got no privacy, got no liberty
Cos the twentieth century people
Took it all away from me.
- Imaginary Man
Is this really it?
Is this the final station
It's really been quite a trip
You know it's been great to watch the sights
Playing the edited highlights
And all the outtakes you did not see
Were only my unreality
- Lola
I met her in a club down in old soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes
just like cherry-cola C-o-l-a cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said lola
L-o-l-a lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Well I’m not the world’s most physical guy
- Over My Head
Wakin' up, feeling rough
Totally stressed
Every day it's a dead time
Step by step
Hit a wall, took a fall
To a new depth
Count to ten, focusin'
Take a deep breath
- Peace In Our Time
Hey girl let's begin again and try to help ourselves
We're like weary warriors who just came back from hell
You can keep your territory, I will stay in mine
Carefully negotiate and leave this battleground behind
All we deserve is some peace in our time
Unconditional love is better
Peace in our time
- Return To Waterloo
Look at all the people around me,
Same old faces joining the queue.
For return to Waterloo,
Return to Waterloo.
Started off this morning as usual,
Checkin' out the mail and all the bills to pay.
Maybe something special's gonna happen,
- Thanksgiving Day
Are you going on Thanksgiving Day
To those family celebrations?
Passing on knowledge down through the years
At the gathering of generations
Every year it's the same routine
All over, all over
Come on over, it's Thanksgiving Day
- Vietnam Cowboys
You better top up your suntan
Otherwise your skin is going to turn to leather
We'll make a movie in Vietnam
The tax break said, 'We're going to shoot on location'
The rug says, 'Made in Korea'
Manufactured in a factory using cheap labor
And all over Asia
- Working Man's Cafe
Looking for the working man's café
In the shopping center of the town
Looking for somewhere to fit in
In among the retail outlets
Bought a pair of new designer pants
Where the fruit and veg man used to stand
I always used to see him there
