me and the major could become close friends cause we
get on the same train and he wants to talk
but there is too much history, too much biography between us
Me and the major donand't see eye to eye on a
number of things, heand'll take a guy like me and then
me and the major donand't see eye to eye on a
number of things, heand'll take a guy like me
and put him in the army
cause the queenand's own army makes a man of you
But he doesnand't understand and he doesnand't try
he knows thereand's something missing and he knows itand's you and i
weand're the younger generation, we grew up fast
all the others did drugs
theyand're taking it out on us
theyand're taking it out on us
Me and the major are from different worlds, but if
i get stuck in the lift itand's always with a toff
me and the major are from different worlds, but if
i get stuck in the lift itand's always with a man
of noble standing who looks down on me like i was never born
I think the majorand's going quite insane, he goes
along the pavement and comes back again, oh yeah
i think the majorand's going quite insane, he goes
along the pavement and comes back again
like he is on parade, and he is on parade
at least he thinks so
Now he is swapping his tent for a sheltered home
he doesnand't have a family, he is living alone
he remembers all the punks and the hippies too
and he remembers roxy music in seventy-two
he doesnand't understand and he doesnand't try
he knows thereand's something missing and he knows itand's you and i
weand're the younger generation, we grew up fast
all the others did drugs
theyand're taking it out on us
theyand're taking it out on us
theyand're taking it out on us
I want a dance, i want a drink of whisky so i
forget the major and go up the town
because the snow is falling
