Read the writing on the wall This is your modern world We have come a long, long way We can't get back on yesterday's trail Watch me leave the station now The doors have closed, carry on Can you hear the future call Valley boy, repo girl? We're tearing down the shopping mall Did you like the way we were? Can you hear the future call Wild boys and West End girls?
