[Verse 1]
The colour of distance has gone
The rise and rise of the spectacle has won
Airmail stretched out across the sea
The leaves and grass were falling in the breeze

[Chorus]
What happened to the blue generation
Dreaming on a once-great notion
Tear-proof and longing for saviour
All abandoned, doomed to failure

What happened to the blue generation
Dreaming on a once-great notion
Tear-proof and longing for saviour
All abandoned, doomed to failure

[Verse 2]
The pace of change has left us all behind
I lie in bed and see remembered skies
When the pen runs dry, so does life
The body breaks and so we compromise

[Chorus]
What happened to the blue generation
Dreaming on a once-great notion
Tear-proof and longing for saviour
All abandoned, doomed to failure
