I can remember when this was the future

Where it was gonna be at then

Why don't we turn the whole bloody lot down

And make a new start all over again?



I can recall utopian thinking

Bold mission statements and tightening of belts

Demolition of familiar landmarks

Promises made and deals that were dealt



This used to be the future

Where it was gonna be at then

Let's turn the whole bloody lot down

And start all over again



But that future was exciting

Science fiction made fact

Now all we have to look forward to

Is a sort of suicide pact



Was it the dear old future

That created the problems we face?

How do we deal with the fallout

Of the age we used to call space?



I can remember planning for leisure
