The Six Fingered Hand Video (MV)

I remember when I was a kid
The past century seemed special
All the decades were lined up just like
A set of coloured pencils

The fifties, the sixties, the seventies, oh
They all looked so exotic
I was certain the years yet to come
Would be just as iconic

Now they've been and gone what the hell went wrong?

Where were all the amazing designs?
Fashions and movements and signs of the times?
Looking at pictures of 2001
Makes it feel like we got nothing done

We're all afraid, dried up and useless
The six fingered hand crushes our throats

If you kidnapped a man from the nineties
And brought him back to the present day
He'd probly die from the sheer disappointment
Cos everything is exactly the same

Braindead! Wasted!

I always dreamt of a musical happning
Like the punk bands, two tone, one of these
The only movement that I got cought up in
Was from CDs to MP3s

What a rip off!

Did we
Have all our
Ambition scared out of us or is it just

That if all the stars
Are competition winners
With fake tans and sob stories
Why bother building rockets?

We didn't even try

They had the beatles, we had the coldplay sound
They had the pythons, we had the IT crowd

Burnt out and all for jack i want my twenties back
Let down, beat up, caved in I want my twenties back
Six fat fingers grip at my neck and make my heart beat slower
