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 oh there's 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, oh yeah   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   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      Ge 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 72   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, oh boy   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   Yeah, the snow if falling   The snow is falling, falling, falling...
