Me and the Major

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Me and the Major could become close friends 'cause we Get on the same train and he wants to talk to me 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 [Verse 2] Me and the Major don't see eye to eye on a Number of things, he'll take a guy like me, oh yeah Me and the Major don't see eye to eye on a Number of things, he'll take a guy like me And put him in the army 'cause the Queen's own army makes a man of you [Chorus] He doesn't understand and he doesn't try He knows there's something missing and he knows it's you and I We're the younger generation, we grew up fast All the others did drugs, they're taking it out on us They're taking it out on us They're taking it out on us [Verse 3] Me and the Major are from different worlds, but if I get stuck in the lift, it's always with a toff Me and the Major are from different worlds, but if I get stuck in the lift, it's always with a man Of noble standing who looks down on me like I was never born [Verse 4] I think the Major's going quite insane, he goes Along the pavement and comes back again, oh yeah I think the Major's going quite insane, he goes Along the pavement and comes back again Like he is on parade, he is on parade, at least he thinks so [Chorus] He is swapping his tent for a sheltered home He doesn't have a family and he's living alone He remembers all the punks and the hippies too And he remembers Roxy Music in '72 He doesn't understand and he doesn't try He knows there's something missing and he knows it's you and I We're the younger generation, we grew up fast All the others did drugs, they're taking it out on us They're taking it out on us They're taking it out on us [Verse 5] I want a dance, I want a drink of whisky so I Forget the Major and go up the town, oh boy 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 Yeah, the snow is falling [Outro] The snow is falling, falling, falling Falling, falling, falling, falling Falling, falling, falling, falling Falling, falling, falling Falling, falling, falling, falling Falling, falling, falling, falling Falling, falling, falling, falling Falling Falling, falling, falling, falling Falling, falling, falling, falling Falling, falling, falling, falling Falliing, falling, falling Falling, falling, falling, falling Falling, falling, falling
