Lyrics Thompson Twins

Thompson Twins

Twentieth Century

Well I was born ten years after the atom bomb

Yeah things were getting strange way before I came along

So I became a master of high technology

And then you came along and did what you did to me

Heavens above

Could this be love

We're livin' in the 20th century

I pit my wits

Against those silicon chips

But I still got the animal inside of me

I get a strange sensation that's out of control

Close to the bone and playin' havoc with my soul

All the red lights are flashing and I can smell fire

With a flick of the switch you know we can go

Even higher and higher and higher

Heavens above

Could this be love

We're livin' in the 20th century

I pit my wits

Against those silicon chips

But I still got the animal inside of me

Well I had cool calculators, regulators and digital machines

Yeah they took me to places I'd never been

Oh but nothing's as good as the feeling I get with you

When ya do, what ya do, what ya do, what ya do do do, yeah

Heavens above

Could this be love

We're livin' in the 20th century

I get my kicks

From those silicon chips

But I still got the animal inside of me

Heavens above

Could this be love

We're livin' in the 20th century

I pit my wits

Against those silicon chips

But I still got the animal inside of me

Yeah, yeah, yeah

The 20th century

Yeah, yeah, yeah

The 20th century

Yeah, yeah, yeah

The 20th century

Yeah, yeah, yeah

The 20th century (high technology)

(It's the 20th century)

Yeah, yeah, yeah

The 20th century
