Me and the Major

'Cause the Queen's own army makes a man of you
Falling, falling, falling

I want a dance, I want a drink of whiskey so I
Along the pavement and comes back again, oh yeah
And he remembers Roxy music in seventy-two
I think the major's going quite insane, he goes
Get on the same train and he wants to talk

He remembers all the punks and the hippies too
Me and the Major are from different worlds, but if
The snow is falling
Number of things, he'll take a guy like me and put him in the army
I want a dance, I want a drink of whiskey so I
He knows there's something missing and he knows it's you and I
Because the snow is falling, yea the snow is falling
All the others did drugs, they're taking it out on us
I think the Major's going quite insane, he goes
We're the younger generation, we grew up fast
Me and the Major don't see eye to eye on a
Along the pavement and comes back again
They're taking it out on us, they're taking it out on us
He doesn't have a family and he is living alone
We're the younger generation, we grew up fast

Me and the Major could become close friends 'cause we

Of noble standing who looks down on me like I was never born
I get stuck in the lift it's always with a man
Falling, falling, falling
He knows there's something missing and he knows it's you and I

Me and the Major don't see eye to eye on a
Forget the Major and go up the town
All the others did drugs, they're taking it out on us
Forget the Major and go up the town, oh boy

Falling, falling, falling
They're taking it out on us, they're taking it out on us
Me and the Major are from different worlds, but if
He doesn't understand and he doesn't try
Now he is swapping his tent for a sheltered home
Number of things, he'll take a guy like me, oh yea
But there is too much history, too much biography between us
But he doesn't understand and he doesn't try
I get stuck in the lift it's always with a toff
Like he is on parade, and he is on parade, at least he thinks so
