ELO - Yours Truly, 2095
2095, 2095, 2095, 2095
I love you, sincerely
Yours truly, yours truly
I sent a message to another time
But as the days unwind
This I just can’t believe
I send a note across another plane
Maybe it’s all a game
But this I just can’t conceive
Can you hear me?
I drive the very latest hover car
I don’t know where you are
But I miss you so much till then
I met someone who looks a lot like you
She does the things you do
But she is an IBM
2095, 2095, 2095, 2095
I love you, sincerely
Yours truly, yours truly
She’s only programmed to be very nice
But she’s as cold as ice
Whenever I get too near
She tells me that she likes me very much
But when I try to touch
She makes it all too clear
She is the latest in technology
Almost mythology
But she has a heart of stone
She has an IQ of one thousand and one
She has a jumpsuit on
And she’s also a telephone
(2095, 2095, 2095, 2095
I love you, sincerely
Yours truly, yours truly)
Is that what you want? (Is it what you want?)
Is it what you really want? (Is it what you really want?)
Is that what you want? (Is it what you want?)
Is it what you really want?
I realise that it must seem so strange
That time has rearranged
But time has the final word
She knows I think of you, she reads my mind
She tries to be unkind
She knows nothing of our world
Although her memory banks overflow
No one would ever know
For all she says, “Is that what you want?”
Maybe one day I’ll feel her cold embrace
And kiss her interface
Till then I’ll leave her alone
I love you, sincerely
Yours truly, yours truly
Is that what you want? Is it what you want?
Is it what you really want? Is it what you really want?
Is that what you want? Is it what you want?
Is it what you really want?
Is that what you want?
Endured the read only because it’s a dfwgator post. However, that was very poignant that part about kissing her interface.
Ah, yes, yours truly...
Great tune from a great album.
So, does this make him a 21st Century Man?
Or maybe we all are.
