Me and the Major could become close friends cause weGet on the same train and he wants to talk to meMe and the Major could become close friends cause weGet on the same train and he wants to talkBut there is too much history, too much biography between usMe and the Major don't see eye to eye on aNumber of things, he'll take a guy like me oh yeahMe and the Major don't see eye to eye on aNumber of things, he'll take a guy like meAnd put him in the armyCause the Queen's own army makes a man of youBut he doesn't understand and he doesn't tryHe knows there's something missing and he knows it's you and IWe're the younger generation, we grew up fastAll the others did drugsThey're taking it out on usThey're taking it out on usThey're taking it out on usMe and the Major are from different worlds, but ifI get stuck in the lift it's always with a toffMe and the Major are from different worlds, but ifI get stuck in the lift it's always with a manOf noble standing who looks down on me like I was never bornI think the Major's going quite insane, he goesAlong the pavement and comes back again, oh yeahI think the Major's going quite insane, he goesAlong the pavement and comes back againLike he is on parade, and he is on paradeAt least he thinks soNow he is swapping his tent for a sheltered homeHe doesn't have a family, and he is living aloneHe remembers all the punks and the hippies tooAnd he remembers Roxy Music in seventy-twoHe doesn't understand and he doesn't tryHe knows there's something missing and he knows it's you and IWe're the younger generation, we grew up fastAll the others did drugsThey're taking it out on usThey're taking it out on usThey're taking it out on usI want a dance, I want a drink of whisky so IForget the Major and go up the townI want a dance, I want a drink of whisky so IForget the Major and go up the townBecause the snow is fallingYeah the snow is falling
