This Used To Be the Future （2017Remastered Version）-Pet Shop Boys/Phil Oakey Written by ：Chris Lowe/Neil Tennant I can remember when this was the future Where it was gonna be at back then Why don't we tear the whole bloody lot down And make a new start all over again I can recall utopian thinking Bold mission statements and tightening of belts Demolition of familiar landmarks Promises made and deals that were dealt This used to be the future Where it was at back then Let's tear the whole bloody lot down And start all over again But that future was exciting Science fiction made fact Now all we have to look forward to Is a sort of suicide pact Was it the dear old future That created the problems we face How do we deal with the fallout Of the age we used to call space I can remember planning for leisure Living in peace and freedom from fear Science that promised to make us a new world Religion and prejudice disappear I can remember when this was the future Where it was gonna be at back then Now religion and nuclear energy have united To threaten oh god amen This used to be the future Where it was at back then Now religion and nuclear energy have united Oh god amen Was it the dear old future That created the problems we face How do we deal with the fallout Of the age we used to call space This used to be the future Where it was at back then Let's tear the whole bloody lot down And start all over again Amen
