Dateline Lyrics

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 æ…»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抯 the modern way
look at me I抦 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抯 gone gone gone

my oh my we live from time to time
and day to day
it抯 the only way I know
look at me I抦 speeding through
a self obsessive just like you
we can dance
we can dance the days away

1999
it抯 the end of modern time
there抯 panic in your eyes
so if you can抰 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抯 the modern way
look at me I抦 speeding through
self obsessed I抦 just like you
we can dance
we can dance the night away
