[Verse 1]
Who built the pyramids? Who built Stonehenge?
Who built Mount Rushmore and made them look friends?
Who put the walls up? Who built the dam?
Divided the loved ones from number one fan

Who filled the rivers? The oceans as well?
Who put the crack in the Liberty Bell?
Must have been angels, you have to agree
Made it imperfect, a little like me

[Chorus]
Apart from the bridges that took us across
Every invention caused more of a loss
The ferry, the aeroplanes, the rocket to moon
Took us away from our lovers too soon

[Verse 2]
Who built the railroad? Who laid the track?
Sold them a single so they ain't coming back?
Swine to the abbatoir, horse to the cart
Freedom of movement has forced us apart

But just who designed the Centennial Light
Well over a century, through day and through night
While other lights faded, it's still shining through
Made to perfection, a little like you
[Chorus]
Apart from the bridges that took us across
Every invention caused more of a loss
The ferry, the aeroplanes, the rocket to moon
Took us away from our lovers too soon

[Bridge]
Each brave new invention is greeted as such
But for love and affection, it never does much
Tried to divide us, so rarely to meet
Sent satellite signal right through our street

[Outro]
Little old me, little old you
Who took our hearts and broke them in two?
