Modern Age (BBC Version) Lyrics

Welcome everybody to BBC 4

This is your life

Welcome, Peter Huxley!

Have a seat Peter

Bloody good to see you

Whiskey?

I'm loving the Facebook

I'm loving the Insta

I'm loving the pizza

Paid with my VISA

I like all the mod cons

Like my television

And refrigeration

Keeping things cool

I love living in the modern age

I just wouldn't survive in a cave

My enemies would roast me on a fire

A terrible cannibal end, a prehistoric

Funeral pyre

I like all the robots

And the internet

Electronic reminders

So I won't forget

Do you like a sandwich?

Or a bowl of soup?

Dining out with your family

In a fancy suit?

I love living in the modern age

I just wouldn't survive in a cave

My enemies would roast me on a fire

A terrible cannibal end, a prehistoric

Funeral pyre

I'm telling you

That we've come from the stars

And we've gotten this far

Don't know where we're going

But it's happening so fast

I fear we'll be last

A digital species

Not related to Nietzsche's

A brand new format

Hold onto your hat

Or even your cat

That'll soon be pre-fab

So Peter, thanks for coming this evening

Hope you enjoyed the show

Really enjoyed your new album

It's fantastic, love the saxophone

Could you sign one for my wife?

Thank you, see you later

Bloody good to see you

Whiskey?
