Mr. 20th Century Man

Come over to my garden, let's listen to the trees

Swaying to the rhythm set up by the breeze

I'd like to play you new songs that I wrote on my knees

And if you'd like to live here then we can cut some keys

The clothes you wore, you had to change

For you were getting bored

In studied rags, do slip straps show

Now you can't be ignored

Mister twentieth century man

You don't have to pretend that everything won't end

Mister twentieth century man

Say goodbye to your shoes, turn off the news

Mister twentieth century man, it?s over

Who'll miss the twentieth century man?

Haven't I been lucky? I've been allowed to sing

Fooled them when they bought me I didn't sell a thing

I want to make you happy I want this song to bring

All the love in this world the last tulips of spring

A way to live, a way to go

These things I can not find

But when I think I'm all played out

A song will come to mind

Mister twentieth century man

You don't have to pretend that everything won't end

Mister twentieth century man

Say goodbye to your shoes, turn off the news

Mister twentieth century man, it?s over

Who'll miss the twentieth century man?

Mister twentieth century man

Mister twentieth century man
