about

Would the 70s seem idyllic through HD film?
And the 80s came and left before you were born
You're a 90s girl but you missed it's peak and it's dawn
So tell me how you know which decade you were torn from

Cleopatra was a 60s kid
By a few more years than from the pyramids
You'd like the ways that she used to dress
But you'd miss your comforts and your rights, I guess

Would the 20s seem idyllic through colour film?
Did the jiving 40s look fun through all the Blitzkreig bombs?
You were just old enough for the millenium
So tell me how you know which decade you were torn from

Cleopatra was a 60s kid
By a few more years than from the pyramids
You'd like the ways that she used to dress
But you'd miss your comforts and your rights, I guess

Cleopatra was a 60s kid
By a few more years than from the pyramids
You'd like the ways that she used to dress
But you'd miss your comforts and your rights, I guess

Living in fear of a world war
Living in fear of a cold war
Living in fear of:
Birth and sin and sex and fire and disease
Science and floods and aliens and slavery
The roars and then the slumps that always follow them
Your lack of faith sees you hung on the gallows then

So tell me girl from London 1996
Which of these times and places do you want next?
Tell me girl from London 1996
Which of these times and places do you want next?

Cleopatra was a 60s kid
By a few more years than from the pyramids
You'd like the ways that she used to dress
But you'd miss your comforts and your rights, I guess

You'd miss your comfors and your rights, I guess
So come on girl from London 1996
