Me And The Major Lyrics

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

 

 Me and the Major don't see eye to eye on a

 Number of things, he'll take a guy like me and then

 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

 

 But 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

 

 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

 

 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, and he is on parade

 At least he thinks so

 

 Now he is swapping his tent for a sheltered home

 He doesn't have a family, he is living alone

 He remembers all the punks and the hippies too

 And he remembers Roxy Music in seventy-two

 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

 

 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
