D-DU-UDU
 I would've liked you to have been deep frozen too
 and waiting  still as fresh in your flesh for my  return to Earth
 But your father  refused to sign the forms to freeze  you
 Let's see you'd  be about 60 now,
 and long  dead by the time I return to Earth
 My time  held dreams were full of you,
 as you were  when I left; still underage
 Your android  replica is playing up again  it's no joke
 When she comes  she moans another's name
 But that's the spirit of the age,
 That's the spirit of the age
 Spirit of the age
 Spirit of the age
 I am a clone, I am not alone
Every  fibre of my flesh and bone is identical  to the others
Everything  I say is in the same  tone
 as my test tube brother's voice
 There is no choice between us,
 If you  had ever seen us,
 You'd rejoice  in your uniqueness
 and consider  every weakness something special  of your own
 Being a clone,  I have no flaws to identify
 Even this doggerel that pours from my pen,
 has just been written by another  twenty telepathic men,
word  for word, it says:
"Oh,  for the wings of any bird, other  than a battery hen".
 Spirit of the age
 Spirit of the age
 Spirit of the age
 Spirit of the age
