LYRICS

So many eyes so many eyes looking, looking at him
He stands, waving to a fashion created
There he is, he thinks he’s all but what he is he’s not at all
Even he knows that it is ill-fated

But he’s the Retroman, does what he can
He’s a fashionable cliché
And he’s the Retroman, does what he can
And he made the kids this way

He gets the media attention
Envy he does not lack
He’s a self made 4th dimension
Even he knows he’s a throwback

But he’s the Retroman, does what he can
He’s a fashionable cliché
And he’s the Retroman, does what he can
And he made the kids this way

A permanent fixture on the TV
He’s the face of bygone years
The perfect role model for the kids to see
Even he drinks tooh many beers

But he’s the Retroman, does what he can
He’s a fashionable cliché
And he’s the Retroman, does what he can
And he made the kids this way

His fashion died at the end of next year
What a victory we shall say
But what of the Retroman? I hear you ask
Even he is set to stay.
