It was the shock of the new   That kept the latest two   At the top of the charts all summer      It must have been something like 11 weeks   That we spent up there   But still...      That was then and this is now   That was then and this is now   That was just nostalgia      I used to think I'd never cry   Or worry if I said goodbye   'Cos human beings have all   Outgrown those basic feelings anyway...      That was then and this is now   That was then and this is now   That was just nostalgia      So don't you worry   About the pretty creatures in the street   The pretty creatures that I'd like   To eat up for breakfast   The pretty creatures in the streets   The pretty creatures that I'd like   To eat up for breakfast   That's all in the past      I may never have a daughter   Cos I've far too much to tell her   And far too much to answer to      I want to move into the future   Move in to the future   Move into the future with you   And the politics of love   And who I used to dream of   That was just nostalgia      I want to move into the future   Move in to the future   Move into the future with you   And the politics of love   And who I used to dream of   That was just nostalgia
