I've come from London town
But you know it really gets me down
I think I've done my time there
And I really don't want to die there
I've lived in Paris, France
The scene of my first great romance
Black roadster on the driveway
I thought I had arrived
It's my life, the spirit of my times
The zeitgeist, the spirit of the times
You could say I've been an island man
A rocky shoreline hard to land
In India, the Caribbean
My red eyes in time for sunrise
It's my life, the spirit of my times
The zeitgeist, spirit of the times
So now that I'm in Hollywood
I feel that here I'm understood
There's fifty minutes to the hour
And twelve steps to every ivory tower
It's my life, the spirit of my times
The zeitgeist, the spirit of the times
Prefects from Birmingham
Chamberlain's Birmingham
Christ wasn't perfect,
he could have been from Birmingham
Rotunda, New Street, Jasper Carrot's Birmingham
The Rum Runner, Tiswas, Swordfish up the alleyway
Bob Lamb's, Steel Pulse, Moseley inna Birmingham
Underworld, in our world,
minutes up the motorway... Barbarellas...
