Me Auld Flower - The Vaults of Consciousness

Twentieth Century Lovesong

Was a beautiful
Baby boy
You wondered what I'd become
Jesus Christ
In a fistfight
With Iron Mike Tyson

Good at school
Almost cool
But so, so, so nervous
Behind each smile
The frightened eye
A reservoir of helplessness

Give me some good twentieth century
Cooking, loving, radio, TV

I drove her car
All the way
Across the sand dunes and beach
In the mirror
Couldn't be clearer
The Mexican police

From a hospital bed
Virtually dead
The soul untethered in the air
You watched the kite
Flicker out of sight
Before falling back to earth

Give me some good twentieth century
Cooking, loving, radio, TV
Give me some good twentieth century
Cooking, loving, radio, TV

1980's
Maternity ward
Dream of days to come
A new decade
A new age
A new millennium

For all the love
You gave to me
I could have been anything
Arthur Guinness
Georgie Best
But I amounted to nothing

Give me some good twentieth century
Cooking, loving, radio, TV
Give me some good twentieth century
Cooking, loving, radio, TV

I shared your breath
I shared your blood
I shared your body first
The new age came
Love stayed the same
For the old-timers
