lyrics

He was born in the sixties on a promise of free love and music
By the century’s end he’d be working a two day week
Now the music is free but the love’s only there if you make it
And he’s working so hard that he’s almost unable to sleep

He’d be riding around on a monorail train
Full of miracle drugs so he’d feel no pain

He’s a 60s man with an 80s life
And a naughty kid and a 90s wife
He’s a 60s man with an 80s life

And the young would take all that was best; stuff it all in their pockets
Do the good stuff and leave all the rest to be done by machines
And we all would expand our horizons on drugs and on rockets
But the world of tomorrow turned out to be yesterday’s dreams

He’s still limping around on a routemaster bus
And the miracle drug just makes him one of us

And not a 60s man with an 80s life
And a naughty kid and a 90s wife
He’s a 60s man with an 80s life

For all the girls who never were:
He loved you all in his own way
And with your style, and with your smiles
You made him what he is today
