This Used to Be the Future(with Phil Oakey) ((2018 Remaster)) - Pet Shop Boys/Phil Oakey

Written by：Chris Lowe/Neil Tennant

I can remember when this was the future

Where it was gonna be at back then

Why don't we tear the whole bloody lot down

And make a new start all over again

I can recall utopian thinking

Bold mission statements and tightening of belts

Demolition of familiar landmarks

Promises made and deals that were dealt

This used to be the future

Where it was at back then

Let's tear the whole bloody lot down

And start all over again

But that future was exciting

Science fiction made fact

Now all we have to look forward to

Is a sort of suicide pact

Was it the dear old future

That created the problems we face

How do we deal with the fallout

Of the age we used to call space

I can remember planning for leisure

Living in peace and freedom from fear

Science that promised to make us a new world

Religion and prejudice disappear

I can remember when this was the future

Where it was gonna be at back then

Now religion and nuclear energy have united

To threaten oh god amen

This used to be the future

Where it was at back then

Now religion and nuclear energy have united

Oh god amen

Was it the dear old future

That created the problems we face

How do we deal with the fallout

Of the age we used to call space

This used to be the future

Where it was at back then

Let's tear the whole bloody lot down

And start all over again

Amen
