Mr. 20th Century Man Lyrics - Singles - Stephen Duffy

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, its 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, its over 

Who'll miss the twentieth century man? 

Mister twentieth century man 

Mister twentieth century man
