Gay Dad – 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
itæ?¯ the modern way
look at me Iæ?¦ 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 itæ?¯ gone gone gone

my oh my
we live from time to time
and day to day
itæ?¯ the only way I know
look at me Iæ?¦ speeding through
a self obsessive just like you
we can dance
we can dance the days away

1999
itæ?¯ the end of modern time
thereæ?¯ panic in your eyes
so if you canæ?° 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
itæ?¯ the modern way
look at me Iæ?¦ speeding through
self obsessed Iæ?¦ just like you
we can dance
we can dance the night away
