Dateline Lyrics - Singles - Gay Dad

I started feeling blue 

back in 1972 

barefoot in the street 

I had patches on my jeans 

and high up in the hills 

they were nodding out on pills and booze 

a odawful sad affair? 

and the lights were there to thrill you 

my oh my 

we live from time to time 

and day by day 

it the modern way 

look at me I speeding through 

self obsessive 

just like you 

we can smile 

oh yeah we can smile 

1984 

and school was out for summer 

I was hot for teacher 

well you should have seen our double feature 

started feeling fine 

in the winter of 1989 

such an underrated year 

but it gone gone gone 

my oh my 

we live from time to time 

and day to day 

it the only way I know 

look at me I speeding through 

a self obsessive just like you 

we can dance 

we can dance the days away 

1999 

it the end of modern time 

there panic in your eyes 

so if you can get muscles 

then you better get yourself a tan 

and be a real man 

cos the heroes that you worshipped 

are all gone gone gone 

my oh my 

we live from time to time 

and day to day 

it the modern way 

look at me I speeding through 

self obsessed I just like you 

we can dance 

we can dance the night away
