lyrics

Woke up in ‘36
Watched the Berlin Olympics
They told some stories, oh they lied
It was the year that Kipling died

Woke up in ‘47
As Henry Ford went off to heaven
Commies scared the USA
And Pepper taught the band to play

Woke up in ‘58
Lolita sealed poor Humbert’s fate
When CND said ban the bomb
And Michael Jackson came along

Woke up in ‘69
With Vietnam the battle line
When they were landing on the moon
And Woodstock played a different tune

Chorus:
Back and forth in time again
Reliving every stupid trend
No better off per capita
I need a flux capacitor
Up and down the fam’ly tree
Watching winners make hist’ry
The gaps in truth they get wider
I need a hadron collider

Woke up in ‘71
The war on drugs has just begun
A bath-tub claims the lizard king
And Frazier rules the boxing ring

Woke up in ‘89
When Marty went a second time
Emporer Hirohito dies
And Dalai Lama wins peace prize

Woke up in ‘93
And saw a twelve year-old me
Nirvana take the music throne
I’m at the nightclub all alone

Woke up in 3010
Now I’m not going back again
No Earth, no life, no skin, no cells
There’s only me and HG Wells
