Spirit of the times
 
 
     
     
 
(John Taylor) 

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 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, spirit of the 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, spirit of the 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…
