Ken Scott - 1984/Dodo lyrics

Someday they won't let you, now you must agree The times they are a-telling, and the changing isn't free You've read it in the tea leaves, the tracks are on tv Beware the savage jaw Of 1984 They'll break your pretty cranium, and fill it full of air And tell you that you're eighty, but lover you won't care You'll be shooting up this huge world, like tomorrow's wasn't there Beware the savage jaw Of 1984 (come see, come see, remember me? ) We played out an all night movie role You said it would last, but I guess we've grown In 1984 (who could ask for more) 1984 (who could ask for more) Now we can talk in confidence Did you guess that we've been done wrong Lies jumped the queue to be first in line Such a shameless design He thinks he's well screened from the man at the top It's a shame that his children disagree They cooly decide to sell him down the line Daddy's brainwashing time He's a do do, no no didn't hear it from me He's a do do, no no didn't hear it from me She doesn't recall her blessed childhood out of yore When a unit was a figure not a she When lovers chose each other seems the perk's are due Another memo to screw She's a do do, no no didn't hear it from me She's a do do, no no didn't hear it from me Can you wipe your nose my child without them slotting in your file a photograph Will you sleep in fear tonight wake to find the scorching light of neighbour jim Come to, turn you in But the do do, no no, didn't hear it from me Another do do, no no, didn't hear it from me Another do do, no no, didn't hear it from me Another do do, no no, didn't hear from me Come see, come see, remember me? We played out an all night movie role You said it would last, but I guess we enrolled In 1984 (who could ask for more) 1984 (who could ask for mor-or-or-or-ore) (mor-or-or-or-ore) 198 4 1984 1984 (mor-or-or-or-ore) 1984 1984 (mor-or-or-or-ore) 1984 1984 (mor-or-or-or-ore)
