Jamie Cullum, Deltron 3030 - Do You Remember? lyrics

Do you remember? Do you remember?
A time when love meant laughter
Well I am weighed down, I am so weighed down
By all these sins, I dream forever after
Do you remember? As a child
How your wild imagination
Led you to great discoveries and places
Do you remember? Innocence in your heart
Before prejudice could spark a cold
Flame in the dark do you remember? How you
Pushed and kept pushing
Til you broke through when nobody was looking
Do you remember? Not to get into nostalgia
But some of those things had value

How did it happen? An independent corporation
With no control could maintain it
With rebellious force
Developed a course of action
We advertise, inviting all to court
The massive a queen's faithful hand
Maidens born to wealthy parents
A life of luxury, but full of scorn, yeah
They be jealous we were omnivores
Gathered food with our tongues
Peaceful, unprepared against the guns
Ever since we was young they
Slayed our real master now I'm told
Blast the rifles to peel back domes
Heavy weapon power sources for confrontation
Against hot situations, safe world's invaded

Do you remember? Do you remember?
A time when love meant laughter
Well I am weighed down, I am so weighed down
By all these sins, I dream forever after
Do you remember? As a child
How your wild imagination
Led you to great discoveries and places
Do you remember? Innocence in your heart
Before prejudice could spark a cold
Flame in the dark do you remember? How you
Pushed and kept pushing
Til you broke through when nobody was looking
Do you remember? Not to get into nostalgia
But some of those things had value

Deltron, a respected hero
Before retirement to the underground
Below zero ceiling zero, location like limbo
With battle-torn bimbos and all
Sorts of electric weirdos
But electrical currents run through my bars
Produces electric shock if you try
To escape the bond
High voltage prods are used
To control the eyes
Renew a process, erase memories of all
Like guidance and calmness suggested
A new society unrelated to criminal acts of
The high and mighty
Oppressors who contest our every motion
Controlling our emotions through
Hyperactive convulsions
Do you remember? Do you remember?
A time when love meant laughter
Well I am weighed down, I am so weighed down
By all these sins, I dream forever after
Do you remember? Do you remember?
A time when love meant laughter
Well I am weighed down, I am so weighed down
By all these sins, I dream forever after
Do you remember? As a child
How your wild imagination
Led you to great discoveries and places
Do you remember? Innocence in your heart
Before prejudice could spark a cold
Flame in the dark do you remember? How you
Pushed and kept pushing
Til you broke through when nobody was looking
Do you remember? Not to get into nostalgia
But some of those things had value

Wind the clocks back to simpler times
Where you could talk and speak your mind
Without assault or attack or combat
All resources available in large quantities
Before the deceit and greed and privatization
Of everything that society placed inside it
Spaces as a service to the patrons
Now you pay for it and
Your credit better be good
Or if there's an emergency, never see afoot
Extended in your direction to help forget it
Shred any evidence of wrongdoing
To make pledges
Among secret societies with freaky fetishes
Lie about what's really inside
They never let us in
Do you remember? Do you remember?
A time when love meant laughter
Well I am weighed down, I am so weighed down
By all these sins, I dream forever after
Do you remember? Do you remember?
A time when love meant laughter
Well I am weighed down, I am so weighed down
By all these sins, I dream forever after
