01:15What a hullabaloo
01:17Independence seemed like the solution
01:21Rulers, they were fleeing for their lives
01:25What's a king and queen to do?
01:27Einstein's theory
01:29The Titanic too
01:31Once in Cabo
01:32Turned out that wasn't true
01:34But look on the right side
01:36Great War over
01:39No more Spanish flu
01:41Gals got the ball
01:42But there's still more to do
01:44I gotta wait till I'm thirty
01:46It wasn't just a tale of mass destruction
01:50New inventions
01:52There were quite a few

01:56Motor cars went into mass production

02:08Twenties
02:09Here we come
02:10An era of peace
02:12And optimism
02:14Things can only get better
02:16Best foot forward
02:18Ninety tens can say farewell
02:20The roaring twenties
02:22Are gonna be swell
02:25Yes!
02:27We're living it up
02:29One hundred years ago
02:31Welcome to the nineteen twenties
02:34One of the greatest ever eras of change
02:37Here at the start of the twenties
02:39Everyone is full of hope for the world
02:41The first world war
02:43And the Spanish flu pandemic are finally over
02:45And normal life can start again
02:48One group of rich youngsters
02:50Have even dedicated themselves to having fun
02:53They're racing cars
02:55Throwing parties
02:57Dressing up
02:58And generally having the best time of their lives
03:02Read all about it
03:03The outrageous young posh people who are shocking the nation
03:06And who the papers are calling the bright young things
03:09Oh I don't know why the papers are so obsessed with our divine little treasure hunts eater
03:15You wouldn't think that hiding sweet little clues around the city for our friends to find
03:19Would be of such interest
03:21Oh car!
03:23Oh!
03:24Oh!
03:25Oh!
03:26The police car!
03:27Oh look!
03:28There's dozens of the chaps right now chasing after us
03:30Oh!
03:31Oh!
03:32Oh!
03:33Theresa!
03:34Want to break into the Hobus factory and leave a clue in a loaf of bread?
03:37Do I?
03:39Drive on, sister!
03:41And would you believe it?
03:43Baron's daughter caught speeding!
03:44Darling, I didn't know there were any speed limits
03:46You surely apply to people as posh as me!
03:49They apply to everyone!
03:51And don't think we won't look into where all those jewels came from!
03:54Well my daddy gave me them of course!
03:56Some kind of Baron is he?
03:58Yes!
03:59Baron Ellington is that!
04:00Oh the other one!
04:02Aristocratic young ladies behave properly!
04:04Everybody knows that!
04:05Not anymore darling!
04:06It's the modern age!
04:07Anything goes!
04:08Now, take one more photo will you sweetie?
04:11The papers will adore it!
04:13There's also exclusive photos from the bright young thing's latest party!
04:17What do I look like?
04:18Someone who's not rich?
04:19Ha ha ha!
04:20See ya!
04:21Good to see you!
04:23Wow!
04:24Relax old chap!
04:27This is not a normal boring party thrown by your parents!
04:30This is a party thrown by me, Stephen Tennant!
04:33And I know how to have fun!
04:36We're young!
04:37We're rich!
04:38There's no war on!
04:39And it's a wild party!
04:40A wild wild west party to be more specific!
04:42Jabal!
04:43Jabal!
04:44You're wearing make-up!
04:45Of course I am!
04:47It's 1920s!
04:48Rules don't exist!
04:49At least not for us rich youngsters!
04:51We can wear whatever we want!
04:54There you go!
04:55It's a cowboy party after all!
04:57But then what does he come as?
04:59Oh don't mind him!
05:00That's Viscount Chiddingly Wright!
05:02He just hasn't gone home since last week's baby party!
05:05Okay everyone!
05:06Smile!
05:07Read all about the bright young things!
05:10Oh look!
05:11I'm in the paper!
05:12Mummy will be so proud!
05:15The 20s are a time of exploration and discovery!
05:22British archaeologist Howard Carter has found and opened the tomb of Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun!
05:29It's full of wonderful treasures!
05:32But also contains a powerful deadly curse that strikes all those who go inside!
05:37Or at least, that's what some people think!
05:41Hello there!
05:42I'm Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, writer and creator of Sherlock Holmes!
05:54Welcome to Ghosts Definitely Exist!
05:58This week on Ghosts Definitely Exist!
06:03The curse of the mummy!
06:07What's that darling?
06:08Not you mummy!
06:10In 1923, Howard Carter, his financial backer Lord Carnarvon and Carnarvon's daughter Evelyn entered the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun unleashing the curse of the mummy!
06:23Ooh!
06:24Someone's unleashed something in here!
06:26Well it said it wasn't me!
06:28Carnarvon!
06:29Daddy!
06:30After they entered the mummy's tomb, the curse claimed its first victim!
06:36Right outside Howard Carter's house!
06:39A dead canary!
06:44Coincidence?
06:45Ha!
06:46Carter's canary was eaten by a snake!
06:48And a cobra is the sign of the Pharaoh!
06:52Of course, it's actually pretty common for snakes to eat birds, so it's hardly conclusive proof!
06:57Conclusive proof there!
06:59Shortly after, the mummy's curse claimed its first human victim!
07:06Oh, tea!
07:07Do you want a cup of tea?
07:09Not now mummy!
07:10I said!
07:11Yes though, please!
07:13And some bickies!
07:14Thank you!
07:15Two months after the tomb was opened, my father, Lord Carnarvon, who funded him,
07:21sadly died!
07:22They say his death was mysterious, but we all know what happened!
07:24He was bitten by a mosquito and died of the infection!
07:27Plus, he was a sick old man who ignored all of his doctor's advice!
07:32Personally, I don't think the curse of the mummy had anything to do with it!
07:34The mummy's curse had struck again!
07:35But it wasn't the only victim!
07:36My own friend, Bertram Fletcher Robinson, died just three years after writing about a mummy!
07:49The curse was spreading!
07:50Who would be next?
07:51Next time on Ghost Deputy Exist, with me, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, more on my investigation.
08:04We talked to the man at the centre of the curse, Egypt expert, Howard Carter.
08:15Fifty-eight people entered the tomb, and only twelve of those died over the next ten years.
08:19Many of them were either already ill or pretty old.
08:23I was one of the first people in the tomb, and I'm fine.
08:26The curse is utter rubbish.
08:27La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la! Not listening!
08:30I guess we won't be talking to him after all.
08:33See you next time.
08:35Unless the curse of the mummy strikes!
08:38Darling, I'm popping out!
08:40OK, Mummy. Good.
08:44Don't forget the eggs.
08:47This summer, the Roaring Twenties become the Exploring Twenties,
08:51in a true story of courage, adventure, and an almost ridiculous disregard for safety.
08:56In Transatlantic!
08:59Don't worry about the plane, guys. It'll be fine.
09:02Oh. Um.
09:07Wait.
09:09Lindbergh, you're trying the impossible.
09:11Meh.
09:12Lindbergh will be attempting to fly solo non-stop across the Atlantic from New York to Paris.
09:17Any malfunction will lead to almost certain disaster.
09:20Yeah, but they'll give me $25,000 when I make it.
09:23If you make it.
09:24At least take a parachute and a radio.
09:26They'll weigh me down.
09:27Don't worry. I practiced for over an hour.
09:30The flight takes 33 hours. You need some safety equipment.
09:34I know that. I've got fine sandwiches.
09:37And some cotton wool to block out the sound of the engine.
09:40Whoo, it's flat.
09:41Charles Lindbergh flies the Spirit of St. Louis in Transatlantic.
09:45What did you say?
09:46And after 24 hours of the journey across the ocean, Lindbergh will face his darkest moment.
09:51Oh, no.
09:52We weak hands fall.
09:55Exactly.
09:56No, it is running easy.
09:59Ouch.
10:00Must be over France.
10:01Now, where's Paris?
10:02Oh.
10:03Um.
10:04But with courage and determination, finally Paris Airport will be within his grasp.
10:08And he won't notice.
10:09He'll just fly right by it.
10:11But after 33 and a half hours, a man will land and become a legend.
10:16Yay!
10:17I've got his hat.
10:18And another man will steal his hat, causing people to mistakenly think he is the legend.
10:22Uh, hello?
10:23Hey!
10:24Guys!
10:25I'm Lindbergh!
10:26Me!
10:27Charles Lindbergh in Transatlantic.
10:28Because when you've got sandwiches and a tin to win, the sky's the limit.
10:33Okay, give me some privacy.
10:35I need to pee again.
10:37Recording, Louis.
10:39Hi.
10:40I'm Louis Armstrong.
10:42I rose to fame in the 1920s, becoming one of the world's most influential jazz singers
10:48and musicians.
10:49But even the best make mistakes.
10:52During one recording, I dropped my music.
10:55But tell me, what did I do next?
10:58Did I?
10:59A. Stop the session and start again.
11:03B. Sing the words of a different song.
11:06Or C. Sing made-up nonsense to fill the gap.
11:10The answer is C. I made stuff up.
11:14Scooby-Bow.
11:15Shoo-wop.
11:16Ba-da-ba.
11:17Ba-ba.
11:18Ba-ba.
11:19Ba-ba.
11:20We call that scatting the clubs.
11:22That was amazing.
11:23This is gonna be the first mainstream record ever to contain scatting.
11:28Oh, well you don't want me to sing it again with the right words.
11:31No.
11:32No way.
11:33This is gonna change music forever.
11:35Soon.
11:36Everybody's gonna be doing it.
11:37A scream.
11:38A flap.
11:39A doodle-a-wap.
11:40A doodle-a-wap.
11:41A doodle-a-wap.
11:42A doodle-a-quaddle-a-flap.
11:44Yeah, well, hopefully not everybody.
11:48The Roaring Twenties are amazing.
11:51But let's be honest, they're not roaring for everyone.
11:55In fact, for some people things stink.
11:58And not in a good way.
11:59Like a cow plop or a rotten old fish.
12:02Mmm, yum.
12:04Poorer people are having to live in overcrowded, unsafe, rundown houses called slums.
12:10Which are pretty miserable.
12:11Even I wouldn't want to live there.
12:13And I live in a sewer.
12:15Hello, I'm Phil.
12:17And I'm fabulous.
12:18And our couple today, Steve and Joe from Surrey, want to buy a home in East London.
12:23But I can tell just by looking at their clothes that they'll never be able to afford a home in modern London.
12:28So we're here in the 1920s.
12:30Welcome to...
12:31Historical location.
12:32Location.
12:33Location.
12:34Location.
12:35Don't do it with us, please.
12:36So, for value for money, we're going to be looking at a so-called rookery.
12:43A charming name for a slum in 1920s East London.
12:47Yeah, well, I suppose it's got character.
12:49Yes.
12:50Try not to get any of it on your shoes.
12:51Oh, yeah.
12:52She weren't lying, you know.
12:53I'm on the seat.
12:54Yeah, I'm coming.
12:55I'm coming.
12:56I'm coming.
12:57I'm coming.
12:58So, as you can see, the room comes with both a tin bath and a rather handsome original feature.
13:05Easy, tiger.
13:06So you're my new house, mate?
13:08Whoa.
13:09No.
13:10We were thinking of buying the house for just us to live in.
13:14Unlikely here in the slums, Joe.
13:17Many houses are overcrowded.
13:19But the good news is, he's included in the price.
13:22But what's the wifey like?
13:23The wifey?
13:24She's dead, unfortunately, so she's not included.
13:26Sorry, could we just draw attention to the freestanding, totally mobile bar?
13:31You mean the tin can with the naked man in?
13:33It's a big selling point.
13:34You can move it anywhere in the house and enjoy a bath wherever you like in your property.
13:37Once you've filled it up from the only tap in the street and then warmed the water through on the fire.
13:41So, there isn't a bathroom.
13:43Oh, there's actually no plumbing at all.
13:46Or another way of looking at it, every room is a bathroom.
13:49So, hold on.
13:50Where'd you go to the toilet, then?
13:51I'm actually really glad you asked that.
13:53No-one wants to use this bathwater after I'm done with it, do you?
13:55No, thank you.
13:56Oh, perfect.
14:01That's another method of warming the water up.
14:03Hang on.
14:04So, guys, is it your dream home?
14:07Well...
14:08Absolutely not!
14:09All right.
14:10Well, I'll see you out then.
14:11Oh, no.
14:12Oh, no.
14:13Oh, no.
14:14Oh, no.
14:15Oh, no.
14:16Oh, no.
14:17Well, there's one original feature I didn't need to see.
14:19While you have to say thank you.
14:20Oh, no.
14:22становится you still?
14:23Oh, no.
14:25How do you feel?
14:26I think?
14:27Oh, no.
14:28Finally!
14:29Im married!
14:30Would you look at my Nigel...
14:32pow.
14:33...know...
14:34надicated?
14:35Sorry to take one of the last eligible men in the village.
14:38I'm sure I'll cope.
14:40No, you've got to be quick, Belinda,
14:42because there are many more women than men these days.
14:44Some women are trying to steal other people's husbands.
14:47I mean, look at that, look.
14:48Can't keep their eyes off him.
14:52Hello, ladies.
14:53Oh, it's Nigel's dad.
14:56He's newly single, and you are looking for a husband.
14:59Oh, I'm sorry, Ducky. I'm not interested.
15:03Oh, still grieving your poor wife, aren't you, Mr Crud?
15:06No, just playing the field.
15:09There's never been a better time to be a single man.
15:12What with World War, the Spanish flu,
15:15so many young men have died.
15:17And there's almost two million women out there
15:20who can't find a boyfriend.
15:22The papers call them surplus women.
15:25Oh, ladies.
15:26Well, I'm just so lucky to have my Nigel.
15:31Are you, though?
15:33Of course.
15:33It's natural for a woman to want to be married.
15:36You can stay at home, cook and clean.
15:39Well, I won't be doing much of that.
15:41I have a very important job.
15:43She's a very talented engineer.
15:45You'll have to give all that up now that you're married.
15:47I'm not giving up my job.
15:49Oh, you'll have to.
15:50What?
15:51Aren't you lucky?
15:52OK, I think we're done here.
15:55You may be the best of a truly awful lot,
15:56but I am not giving up my job for anyone.
15:59Bye, Nigel.
16:00Oh, well, you do.
16:02Welcome to the family.
16:03Oh, rosemary went for me.
16:06Oh, boy, thank you.
16:07Ha-ha!
16:07Oh, my God!
16:09Another man down!
16:10The 20s are tough for a lot of us.
16:16We haven't got much money,
16:18even though we miners spend all hours doing back-breaking work.
16:22That's why we're calling a general strike.
16:25We want to be paid more and treated better.
16:28It's 1926, and all around the country,
16:32people are stopping working in sympathy with us.
16:35And as you can imagine, the government are not happy about it.
16:42Sorting out the beefs of the past...
16:44Philip IV of Spain, this 30-year's war has gone on long enough.
16:48...with the justice of today...
16:50Stop it at once, or you'll get this gavel right up your Habsburgs.
16:54Welcome to Time Beefs with Judge Rinder.
16:57The British government, led by Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin,
17:03is fighting millions of ordinary workers
17:05who are planning to down tools and go on a general strike
17:07in support of the miners,
17:09who are fed up with the pay and conditions of their job.
17:13First off, everybody,
17:14apologies for the court's toilets being out of order.
17:17It is, I'm afraid...
17:18..unfortunate timing.
17:22Not to worry, Your Honour.
17:23We bought our own chamber pots.
17:25Some of us like to empty them onto that lawn over there.
17:27How awful.
17:28I'll tell you what's awful.
17:29The government want to lower our pay
17:31and make us work longer hours.
17:33Not a penny off the pay.
17:34Not a minute on the day.
17:35What does the Prime Minister have to say about all of this?
17:38Your Honour, these people are ruining our country
17:41with their greedy demands.
17:43They're threatening to stop working for nine whole days.
17:46What do you think would happen if I did that?
17:47I don't think anyone would notice.
17:49Right, that does it.
17:51Prime Minister, smash.
17:53Order, order.
17:53Prime Minister, stop challenging that docker to a fight.
17:56That's something I never thought I'd ever say again.
17:59You know what?
17:59Fine.
18:00I don't need to get involved myself anyway.
18:02I've hired 50,000 special constables
18:05to take care of this lot in London alone.
18:08They'll get these lazy workers back to work.
18:1050,000?
18:11Whenever did you find them?
18:12Well, a lot of them are middle-class shopkeepers
18:15and businessmen,
18:16but we've also recruited from...
18:18the upper classes.
18:20Tally-ho!
18:24Hello.
18:25We are members of the Polo Club,
18:27and we signed up to keep these greedy poor folk
18:31in their places.
18:33Hi-ya!
18:34Such fun!
18:35They gave us truncheons.
18:36It's not a truncheon, it's a chair leg.
18:38Yes, we ran out of truncheons.
18:39OK, you might have support from some in the middle and upper classes,
18:42but we've got King George V on our side.
18:45Oh!
18:46Your Honour,
18:47these workers need support.
18:49You try living on their wages
18:51before you judge them.
18:52Certainly not.
18:54It takes a three-week all-inclusive holiday in Blackpool
18:56to get a tan like this.
18:58That doesn't come cheap.
18:59Your Honour,
19:00the simple truth is
19:00we do not need these workers anyway.
19:03We can just get people from higher classes
19:05to work at the docks instead.
19:07Well, what's a dock?
19:09Ooh, one of those little furry chaps with a waggy tail.
19:11That's a dog.
19:14Stop laughing at us
19:15or I shall give you a right good chair leggy.
19:18Bring it on.
19:21I've got a poo-pum on my head!
19:23I cannot work in these conditions.
19:24Well, neither can we join our strength!
19:26No way!
19:27Why don't you join our strength then?
19:29I went to law school for seven years for this.
19:34Things are hard for many people, all right,
19:37but at least they've got some stuff to take their minds off it.
19:40There are huge stars in the 20s
19:43like Louis Armstrong,
19:44the comedian Charlie Chaplin
19:46and my personal favourite,
19:48the singer, dancer and political campaigner
19:51Josephine Baker.
19:53She's American,
19:54but she moved to Paris to make a name for herself
19:56and she's becoming a big star.
19:59Mind you,
20:00she does hang out with some pretty surprising characters.
20:04Ooh!
20:05Ooh!
20:05Ooh!
20:06Ooh!
20:06Ooh!
20:07Ooh!
20:07Ooh!
20:08Ooh!
20:08Ooh!
20:08Ooh!
20:09Ooh!
20:09Ooh!
20:09Ooh!
20:10Ooh!
20:11Yes?
20:11Ms. Baker, may I come in?
20:12Oh, Monsieur Duval!
20:14Now's not a good time.
20:15I'm about to go on stage to perform my act.
20:20And...
20:21I have some friends over.
20:22Ms. Baker, that sounded like a spider monkey.
20:24No!
20:25It was...
20:26Norwegian.
20:28Yes, Bjorn,
20:29you may have some cake.
20:31Well, if that is everything.
20:32Ms. Baker,
20:33your singing and dancing have made you and the Fully Berger's Theatre
20:36the talk of Paris.
20:37However, we do ask that you keep your animals at your apartment and not in your dressing room.
20:42Sure!
20:43I know that!
20:44No animals here!
20:45Hello!
20:47That was my friend, the painter, Pablo Picasso.
20:52He has an odd laugh.
20:53Who's a pretty boy, then?
20:54You are, Pablo!
20:56Well, if that is everything.
20:59Guys, you have to keep it down.
21:01Ms. Baker, we know you have animals in there.
21:03I do not!
21:04You said that you would take me to court if I kept animals in my dressing room.
21:07Yes!
21:08And there is a snake around your neck!
21:11Excuse me.
21:12Ms. Baker?
21:13Get off, Sidney!
21:14You're strangling me!
21:15I bought the raw meat from the hotel for you, Ms. Baker.
21:18Who is the raw meat for?
21:19Um...
21:20Me!
21:21Thank you, Albert.
21:22You're a godsend.
21:24I'm gonna name my pig after you.
21:25Oh!
21:27Ms. Baker,
21:28I know you have a pig, a snake, a spider monkey, and a parrot in there.
21:31Oh!
21:31You mean the cheetah got out?
21:33There's a cheetah in there?
21:34Oh, he sounds hungry.
21:36Excuse me.
21:37What?
21:38Here, cheetah!
21:39Ms. Baker, it was bad enough when you kept the pig in the kitchen.
21:42You had to break the doorway down to get him out!
21:44I know you have animals in there!
21:46I do not!
21:47What fruit do you have?
21:48Ms. Baker, the cheetah's trying to eat the parrot!
21:50Albert was just joking!
21:51That's it!
21:52I've had enough!
21:53I'm going to get to the bottom of this!
22:04You'll be hearing from our lawyers.
22:06Come on!
22:07Ah, so this is a Hollywood bash, is it?
22:12Yes!
22:12Oh, my goodness!
22:14Excuse me, you're Charlie Chaplin, aren't you?
22:16The amazing comedy actor!
22:18I'm Winston Churchill and I'm a deep admirer of all of your films.
22:22Clowning ability is beyond compare.
22:24Oh!
22:25Mr Chaplin, you wouldn't do me the honor, the privilege of perhaps doing one of your funny
22:30bits or an impression of some sort?
22:32Sure!
22:33Why not?
22:34See if you can guess who this is.
22:35Um...
22:37Oh!
22:38No, no, no, no.
22:39Uh, uh, uh, Queen Victoria.
22:43Einstein?
22:44Greta Garbo?
22:45No, it's...
22:46Napoleon!
22:47Yes, yes, the very next thing I was going to say.
22:49Took the words out of my mouth.
22:50Yes, Napoleon.
22:51Do it again, Mr Chaplin.
22:52Please.
22:53Okay.
22:54Right.
22:55Do it again!
22:59Do it again!
23:00Mr Churchill, please.
23:01It's three o'clock in the morning.
23:03No more Napoleon.
23:04It's such a good impression.
23:05I insist that you play Napoleon in your next film.
23:08We'll see.
23:09Um, I don't have a script, so...
23:10Oh, Mr Chaplin, never fear.
23:12I shall write your script.
23:14So, we open on Napoleon.
23:16And he is in a rage.
23:18You can do your famous funny walk.
23:20Like that.
23:21Yes, it's perfect.
23:22And he's hungry.
23:23All he has to eat is a shoe.
23:24Like you ate your shoe in your hilarious film, The Gold Rush.
23:27Ha!
23:28Ha!
23:29Oh, what are you doing?
23:30That was a fake shoe made of licorice for the film.
23:32I'm really sorry.
23:33It's getting very late, so I'm going to...
23:35Oh, don't worry.
23:36I've got all night.
23:38Oh, good.
23:39Lucky me.
23:40So, Napoleon is in his bathtub.
23:42Just think of the comic possibilities!
23:44So, he's there, and he's arguing with his brother.
23:47And then...
23:48And then Napoleon splashes water all over his brother's clothes!
23:53It's action!
23:54It's fun!
23:55Oh, exactly!
23:57That's exactly the thing!
23:59Wonderful, wonderful slapstick!
24:00Do it again!
24:01Mr. Churchill, you're acting like a complete clown!
24:06That...
24:07means the world coming from you.
24:12You have made my year, Mr. Chapman.
24:15I'm 1920s legend Gertrude Stein, and I spent much of my time in Paris with my wife, Alice
24:24Toklas.
24:25Hi there!
24:26I was on the road!
24:27You know, I like nothing better than being driven around the city, but what surprising thing
24:32did I like to do in the car?
24:34Was it...
24:35A...
24:36Cooking
24:37B...
24:38Writing
24:39Or...
24:40C...
24:41Doing impressions of Joan of Arc?
24:42The answer is...
24:43C...
24:44Doing impressions of Joan of Arc!
24:45I'll touch!
24:46Oh, my French!
24:47Put them!
24:48It's on fire!
24:49Quit kidding around and tell them the real answer!
24:51Okay...
24:52The real answer is...
24:54B!
24:55I did some of my best writing in the car.
24:57The sights and sounds of the Parisian streets inspired me to come up with some of my best
25:01ideas...
25:02Sometimes, you could even read them.
25:06It's on the road!
25:09Paris is one of the most exciting places to live in the 1920s.
25:14It's jam-packed with artists and writers like Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway, and F.
25:21Scott Fitzgerald.
25:23Together, they're known as the Lost Generation.
25:26And who better to play us out?
25:31Writers flocked to this town
25:33Talking about Lost Generation
25:36And started hanging around
25:38Paris was our destination
25:41American literary types
25:43Looking for new inspiration
25:45Disillusioned with the stars and stripes
25:48Leaving behind our nation
25:50A novelist
25:52Gertrude Stein
25:53Riser of great reputation
25:55Had these guys around all the time
25:58Dropping in for conversation
26:00I knew all the artistic greats
26:03So Archie had appreciation
26:05Picasso and Matisse were my mates
26:08For our great dedication
26:10Lost Generation
26:12For us American expats
26:14The Lost Generation, baby!
26:17Paris is where it's at
26:19Paris is where it's at
26:23Hemingway, journalist and writer
26:25Was held in great admiration
26:27Also a handy barroom fighter
26:30Useful in an altercation
26:32And Scott Fitzgerald, author supreme
26:35Great Gatsby was his creation
26:37Got new ideas from the Paris scene
26:39If you'll know our imagination
26:41If you'll know our imagination
26:42The Lost Generation
26:44To be creatively free
26:46The Lost Generation, baby!
26:48Paris is the place to be
26:49Paris is the place to be
26:57Sylvia Beach is my name
26:59Ran a bookshop on the banks of the Seine
27:02James Joyce, the author of Ulysses
27:04I'm actually Irish, if you please
27:07These writers often met round mine
27:09A coming together, a brilliant mind
27:11She published my greatest work
27:14I thought he was a bit of a
27:17Lost Generation
27:19An intellectual melting pot
27:22Lost Generation, baby!
27:24Paris has got the lot
27:27Lost Generation
27:29Came up with that phrase on my own
27:32America's my country, baby
27:35But France is my home
27:39Talking about Lost Generation
27:43Hello, I'm Phil
27:46Is it the dream home?
27:50Is it the dream home?
27:52The past is no longer a mystery
