Ed Harcourt - Born In The '70S Lyrics

Send "Born In The '70S" ringtone to your cell

I was born the year punk broke

Days before the king was dead

It was the year of the snake

I was a red-faced child

Who stumbled where he tread

Was kept in orderly file

My parents name me Ed

I tried my hardest to smile

And like my daddy said

I've tried to be myself

Sometimes daydreaming for hours

Wishing for a dangerous life

Cut the leash some slack

Run into the morning light

Race the trains by the track

Until my mouth feels dry

But can you count on me?

I might let you down

In a world that is so sensational

No you can count on me

I'm living for the now

Up against the older generation's wall

Born in the '70s

Born in the '70s

After a length of time

You're this parody

Just like the record's stuck

Always repeating the past

That never liked you before

You had no reason to last

We're in a silent war

A telepathic blast

And like my daddy said

These are exciting times

The future grabs my throat

And let's me know it's alright

If I believe in love

Then I believe in hate too

I'll taste the darker stuff

To find some lasting truth
