3. Mike Post Theme (4:28)
[Chorus 1]
We're not strong enough[x2]
We're not alone enough, or cold enough
Emotionally we're not even old enough
[Verse 1]
Late at night, we're in a video-game dream
There is no lover in this numbered scene
We summon every childhood ghost we've ever seen
Then suddenly we hear that Mike Post theme
[Chorus 2]
Everything is all right (bong de bong)
We've prayed today (la-da-da-da-dah)
Everything is OK (bong de bong)
We've played today
[Verse 2]
Late at night on the underground train
Through endless suburbs in endless pain
Then deep in the tunnel under the London rain
Suddenly we hear Mike Post again
[Chorus 2]
Everything is all right (bong de bong)
We've prayed today (la-da-da-da-dah)
If there really is a God (dong de bong)
We should be laid today
[Chorus 3]
We watch those films
That make men cry
Young lovers kiss
Then fight and die
We start to yearn
We climb the vine
We have to face
The truth some time
[Chorus 2]
[Verse 3]
But late at night we find the racing tame
We're faced with women and a reality game
We feel alive; we feel new and blind
We're hearing Mike Post in the air this time
[Chorus 1]
[Verse 4]
There comes a time in every little punk's life
Where he has to right a song for his common-law wife
We make our women wait until they want to scream
But we can always whistle that Mike Post theme
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
We're not strong enough[x2]
We're not alone enough, or cold enough
Emotionally we're not even old enough
[Verse 1]
Late at night, we're in a video-game dream
There is no lover in this numbered scene
We summon every childhood ghost we've ever seen
Then suddenly we hear that Mike Post theme
[Chorus 2]
Everything is all right (bong de bong)
We've prayed today (la-da-da-da-dah)
Everything is OK (bong de bong)
We've played today
[Verse 2]
Late at night on the underground train
Through endless suburbs in endless pain
Then deep in the tunnel under the London rain
Suddenly we hear Mike Post again
[Chorus 2]
Everything is all right (bong de bong)
We've prayed today (la-da-da-da-dah)
If there really is a God (dong de bong)
We should be laid today
[Chorus 3]
We watch those films
That make men cry
Young lovers kiss
Then fight and die
We start to yearn
We climb the vine
We have to face
The truth some time
[Chorus 2]
[Verse 3]
But late at night we find the racing tame
We're faced with women and a reality game
We feel alive; we feel new and blind
We're hearing Mike Post in the air this time
[Chorus 1]
[Verse 4]
There comes a time in every little punk's life
Where he has to right a song for his common-law wife
We make our women wait until they want to scream
But we can always whistle that Mike Post theme
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
