[Intro]
E F#
[Verse 1]
EI would have liked you to have been deep frozen tF#oo, and
wEaiting still as fresh in your flesh for F#my return to Earth
But your fEather refused to sign the forms to frF#eeze you
Let's sEee you'd be about 60 now and lF#ong dead by the time I return
to EEarth - my time held drF#eams were full of you, then
Eas you were - still F#under age
Your Eandroid replica is playing up again, F#it's no joke - when she
cEomes she moans another's name - F#but that's the spirit of the age
[Chorus]
Spirit of the Eage... Spirit of the F#age
Spirit of the Eage... Spirit of the F#age
[Verse 2]
EI am a clone, I am not alone - F#every fibre of my flesh and bone is
idEentical to the others - F#everything I say is in the
sEame tone as my test tube brother's vF#oice - there is no choice between
us - if yEou had ever seen us, you'd rejF#oice in your uniqueness
and consEider every weakness something spF#ecial of your own
Being a clEone, I have no flaws to identify
F#Even this doggerel that pours from my pen
has jEust been written by anF#other twenty telepathic men
wEord for word, it says "F#O for the wings of any bird,
Eother than a battery hen"F#  
[Chorus]
Spirit of the Eage... Spirit of the F#age
Spirit of the Eage... Spirit of the F#age

[Intro]

E F#

[Verse 1]

E F#

I would have liked you to have been deep frozen too, and

E F#

waiting still as fresh in your flesh for my return to Earth

E F#

But your father refused to sign the forms to freeze you

E F#

Let's see you'd be about 60 now and long dead by the time I return

E F#

to Earth - my time held dreams were full of you, then

E F#

as you were - still under age

E F#

Your android replica is playing up again, it's no joke - when she

E F#

comes she moans another's name - but that's the spirit of the age

[Chorus]

E F#

Spirit of the age... Spirit of the age

E F#

Spirit of the age... Spirit of the age

[Verse 2]

E F#

I am a clone, I am not alone - every fibre of my flesh and bone is

E F#

identical to the others - everything I say is in the

E F#

same tone as my test tube brother's voice - there is no choice between

E F#

us - if you had ever seen us, you'd rejoice in your uniqueness

E F#

and consider every weakness something special of your own

Being a clone, I have no flaws to identify

Even this doggerel that pours from my pen

E F#

has just been written by another twenty telepathic men

E F#

word for word, it says "O for the wings of any bird,

E F#

other than a battery hen"

[Chorus]

E F#

Spirit of the age... Spirit of the age

E F#

Spirit of the age... Spirit of the age
