lyrics

Now that I've finally seen the future. It looks a lot like yesterday
With more designs, a few more options, pink, gold and lime, white, black and grey

They made a film about Spike Island, so that your friends who were never there
Can buy their own misty-eyed nostalgia for an era they'll never share

Now that I've finally seen the future and I don't think it was built to last
I want a future that excites and invites me, I miss the futures of the past

The only time I saw a jetpack, it was in a cartoon with flying cars
A high speed train to reach Birmingham when
once we thought we could reach the stars.

Now that I've finally seen the future, it's a worst case scenario
So much for hopes of utopia, well, where did the better future go?

A billion pounds for my new invention, a slightly different type of phone
Oh, what I'd build if it were not for profit. Where did the better future go?

Where did the better future go?
