Two-Tones Songtext
von Joe Stilgoe

I always think I′m
Born in the wrong time
What I would give for a
Time machine.
That golden era
Would be much nearer
I won't explain
If you know what I mean?

I′m always roaming
While duochroming
Do up the laces
And I'm back in 45
I'll take the A Train
We′ll meet in Birdland
Some Louis Prima
And the world is alive


Can I go back
And see the birth of Basin Street?
Can I go back
And find I′ve landed where my soul will find its feet?

Put on my two-tones and I'm fine
I wear my toes to the end of the line
The only shoes I feel like I fit
Put on my two tones
Then I start to feel a bit
GENE KELLY

I always feel grand
In MGM land
A leading lady and my
Co-respondent shoes
It′s never duller
In double colour
I'll get happy and I′ll walk on my blues

Can I go back
And share a bar with Nat King Cole?
Can I go back
And find I've landed where my feet have found some soul?
