lyrics

Ladies have you noticed
A gentleman's persistence
They always talk of closeness
When they aim to go the distance
Hats off to him for trying
He had the flag of the home port flying
He said the flotsam and the jetsum
Are there for those that let's 'em

I said

If that's what you call progress
You can count me out
I'll be having none of it
i don't see no fun in it
You can keep your progress to yourself

He said we're guided by the stars above
I said more like the moon
He said music is the food of love
I said Love just licks the spoon
He said the only constant here is change
Who are we to stay the same?
I felt his hand upon my knee
Some things never change it seems

If that's what you call progress
You can count me out
I don't want no part of it
There's no point in starting it
You can keep your progress to yourself

Don't you feel like
The future and the past
Are squeezing up so tight
On either side of you
There's nowhere to hide from view
Who knows where we're heading to
What the 'eck's a girl to do?

They say you can't avoid progress
Well sure there's a lot of it about
But though I hear it's all the rage
I still fear it's just a phase
Progress don't seem too good for your health

If that's what you call progress
You can count me out
I'll be having none of it
I don't see no fun in it
I don't want no part of it
There's no point in starting it
You can keep your progress to yourself
