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
          E
Being a clone, I have no flaws to identify
F#
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
