Nineteen Eighty​-​One

from The Second One Redux by State Cows

/

lyrics

Ten out of ten would give fair warning
And trust in every public eye
You took the train in early morning
And raised the question high and dry

Writing the diary of a madman
For your eyes only, Mrs Blonde
Escaping tinseltown rebellions
Like a raider on the golden pond

CHORUS
Where were you and and what’d you do back in 1981
Did you have a DeLorean and the world under your thumb
Were you working nine to five underneath the big black sun
Was it all so different back in 1981

George saw the task unto completion
The dude turned into sticky slime
But dared he chase the movement backwards
The healing principle of time

Put your faith into Columbia
And be all the you can be
It’s time to turn the pages over
Don’t turn your back on MTV

CHORUS 2
Back in 1981 three quartets would be played
The hero of production was a certain Jay
While the transfers of Manhattan sang like nightingales
And a beacon in the night made AJ break away
