Twentieth Century

Thompson Twins · Close To The Bone [1987]

Well I was born ten years after the atom bomb

Yeah things were getting strange way before I came along

So I became a master of high technology

And then you came along and did what you ya did to me



Heavens above - could this be love

We're livin' in the 20th Century

I pit my wits against those silicon chips

But I still got the animal inside of me



I get a strange sensation that's out of control

Close to the bone and playin' havoc with my soul

All the red lights are flashing and I can smell fire

With a flick of the switch you know we can go

Even higher and higher and higher



Heavens above - could this be love

We're livin' in the 20th Century

I pit my wits against those silicon chips

But I still got the animal inside of me



Well I had cool calculators, regulators and

Digital machines

Yeah they took me to places I'd never been

Oh but nothing's as good as the feeling I get with you

When ya do, what ya do, what ya do, what ya do do do



Heavens above - could this be love

We're livin' in the 20th Century

I pit my wits against those silicon chips

But I still got the animal inside of me



Yeah, yeah yeah!

The 20th Century

Yeah, yeah yeah!

High technology
