Call me old fashioned
But I'm a little nervous about the future
I've got no enthusiasm
For burgers or computersTelevisions bores me now
In a hundred different ways
And the police are getting younger
Getting younger every dayAll I wanted was some tender loving care
Before it gets sponsored with the water and the air
You want it
You've got itYou took it all from me
My cheque book, my wallet
My pride and dignity
And I can't even get a taxiTo the safety of my house
The driver gets a nosebleed
If he travels that far south
All I wanted was some tender loving careBefore it gets sponsored with the water and the air
Dear Claire
Sincerely
Bored of LondonBy the way
The police are getting younger every day
I want to see the sights I want to hear the songs
About human right and about human wrongsI'm as lovesick and as stupid as all the rubbish that I heard
The public gets the music that no public could deserve
They put me in the spot light tied me to the stage
The only thing I got right wa to lie about my ageI've been fitted up for size for Top Of The Pops
In a uniform supplied by the gkam rock cops
All I ever wanted was some tender loving care
Before it gets sponsored with the water and the airDear Claire
Sincerely
Bored of London
By the wayThe police are getting younger every day
