Hawkwind - Spirit of the Age
[D5][E5][D5][D5]
[D5] I would've liked you to have been deep frozen [E5]too
and [D5]waiting still as fresh in your flesh for [E5]my return to Earth
But your [D5]father refused to sign the forms to [E5]freeze you
Let's see [D5]you'd be about 60 now,
and [E5]long dead by the time I return to [D5]Earth
My [E5]time held dreams were full of you,
as you [D5]were when I left; still [E5]underage
Your [D5]android replica is playing up a[E5]gain it's no joke
When she [D5]comes she moans another's name [E5]
But that's the spirit of the [D5]age,
That's the spirit of the [E5]age
Spirit of the [D5]age
Spirit of the [E5]age
[D5] I am a clone, I am not alone
[E5]Every fibre of my flesh and bone is i[D5]dentical to the others
[E5]Everything I say is in the [D5]same tone
as my test tube brother's [E5]voice
There is no choice between us,
If [D5]you had ever seen us,
You'd re[E5]joice in your uniqueness
and con[D5]sider every weakness something [E5]special of your own
Being a [D5]clone, I have no flaws to identi[E5]fy
Even this doggerel that pours from my [D5]pen,
has just been written by a[E5]nother twenty telepathic men,
[D5]word for word, it says:
[E5]"Oh, for the wings of any bird, [D5]other than a battery [E5]hen".
