Oh 2025 - Tubeway Army

I know a time called then

When we were only men

And to be alive

Just meant you hadn’t died

Time can’t erase

Heartbeats

Out of phase

And your empty eyes

Don’t seem to want to realise

Oh!

2025

When we were still alive

Oh!

2025

When we were only simple men

And in the automat

And that was that

We didn’t mess with time

Knock things out of line

Oh!

2025

When we were still alive

Oh!

2025

When we were only simple men

And in the dreamless night

I pulse

Out of sight

Am I the only man

No part of any plan

Before the age of clean

Before the power screen

Before the maser beam

Before my world was only me

Oh we were young and free

You can’t alter me

So now you keep me here

Is this law

Or is it fear

Oh!

2025

When we were still alive

Oh!

2025

When we were only simple men
