Lyrics

First of all it was Victoria, happy and glorious
She saw the twentieth century in front
Had no idea how severe the changes would be in the next twenty years
South Africa started with bitterness
Europe's young men were cut down for big business
Newsreels, cars, aeroplanes, real revolutions
'Yes sir' and 'No sir' were old institutions
Over, over my shoulder
Wave, wave goodbye
Next there was Prohibition and the Depression
And national radio, gangsters and fear
The jazz era, black and white movies, failed Wall Street careers
The thirties kicked off with dictatorships
Hitler and Stalin, the special relationships
World War Two came to a nuclear conclusion
And the women came back disillusioned
Over, over my shoulder
Wave, wave goodbye
First in line there was Elizabeth, queen in the making
Came in with Korea and Cold War and Berlin
Israel and Hungary, NATO security, rock and roll, children
The sixties ignited with Dylan
The Beatles, the space race and civil rights killing
'68 Riots and Vietnam's shame
Flower power promised but flower power failed
Over, over my shoulder
Wave, wave goodbye
In the end there was Diana, a princess designer
Fell foul of the system and died by a chauffeur
AIDS and ecology, mines and pollution
Fights against drugs and the third world illusion
Shore out of Iran, more trouble in Ireland
Small wars with a good cause from Gulf to the Falklands
Watergate, Chernobyl, Afghanistan
End of a century, end of the symphony
Over, over my shoulder
Wave, wave goodbye
Over, over my shoulder
Wave, wave goodbye
Over, over my shoulder
Wave, wave goodbye
