lyrics

Tough old birds from a time long gone
Doesn’t seem that way today
The differences then were so clear
From the music that we listened to and the attitudes that came from that

And now all that splits us
Is the desire to be better than each other
I don’t care if you live or if you die

Tough old birds like you and me
We survive like people who built the ark
I’ve held every job there is to hold in this town
I know everything there is to know about you

So why when the gossip is riding high
Am I the one who gets the look of the eye
Obliged me - ooh ooh

Kiss me once again like you used to
When you weren’t afraid to be yourself
When the pain of your life was diverted
For that short time in your youth

Show to me that you have desire
You really can think for yourself
When the thoughts of the nation have gone
When the thoughts of the nation have gone
