Mike Post Theme

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

We're not strong enough

We're not young enough

We're not alone enough, or cold enough

Emotionally we're not even old enough

Late at night, we're in a video-game dream

There is no lover in this numbered scene

We summon every childhood ghost we've ever seen

Then suddenly we hear that Mike Post theme

Everything is all right (bong de bong)

We've prayed today (la-da-da-da-dah)

Everything is OK (bong de bong)

We've played today

Late at night on the underground train

Through endless suburbs in endless pain

Then deep in the tunnel under the London rain

Suddenly we hear Mike Post again

Everything is all right (bong de bong)

We've prayed today (la-da-da-da-dah)

If there really is a God (dong de bong)

We should be laid today

We watch those films

That make men cry

Young lovers kiss

Then fight and die

We start to yearn

We climb the vine

We have to face

The truth some time

We're not strong enough

We're not young enough

We're not alone enough, or cold enough

Emotionally we're not even old enough

For love...

But late at night we find the racing tame

We're faced with women and a reality game

We feel alive; we feel new and blind

We're hearing Mike Post in the air this time

Everything is all right (bong de bong)

We've prayed today (la-da-da-da-dah)

If there really is a God (dong de bong)

We should get laid today

There comes a time in every little punk's life

Where he has to right a song for his common-law wife

We make our women wait until they wanna scream

But we can always whistle that Mike Post theme

Everything is all right (bong de bong)

We've prayed today (la-da-da-da-dah)

If there really is a God (dong de bong)

We should get laid today

We watch those films

That make men cry

Young lovers kiss

Then fight and die

We start to yearn

We climb the vine

We have to face

The truth some time
