Hawkwind – Spirit Of The Age lyrics
I would've liked you to have been deep frozen too
And waiting still as fresh in your flesh for my return to Earth
But your father refused to sign the forms to freeze you
Let's see you'd be about 60 now,
And long dead by the time I return to Earth
My time held dreams were full of you,
As you were when I left; still underage
Your android replica is playing up again, it's no joke
When she comes she moans another's name
But that's the spirit of the age,
That's the spirit of the age
That's the spirit of the age
That's the spirit of the age
That's the spirit of the age
Ah, the spirit of the age
That's the spirit of the age
Ah, the spirit of the age
That's the spirit of the age

I am a clone, I am not alone
Every fibre of my flesh and bone is identical to the others
Everything I say is in the same tone
As my test tube brother's voice
There is no choice between us,
If you had ever seen us,
You'd rejoice in your uniqueness
And consider every weakness something special of your own
Being a clone, I have no flaws to identify
Even this doggerel that pours from my pen,
Has just been written by another twenty telepathic men,
Oh, word for word, it says:
"Oh, for the wings of any bird, other than a battery hen".
That's the spirit of the age
That's the spirit of the age
That's the spirit of the age
That's the spirit of the age
That's the spirit of the age
It's just the spirit of the age
It's just the spirit of the age
It's just the spirit of the age
It's just the spirit of the age

    There are two Science Fiction stories, one in each verse and each followed by the chorus.

    The first is about an space traveller, presumably travelling at relativistic speeds, writing to his lover about her replica malfunction when he was has sex with it. However when he talks about her not being frozen, he reveals she was underage in the first place.

    The second is about a clone, who is aware of his identical nature of himself to his fellow peers and considers even flaws to be valuable assets possessed by non-clone humans. Even his poem, an ode to freedom as expressed by identifying with birds, references his dislike of his lack of individually which he equates to being caged.
