lyrics

She got you in a headlock
You don’t want it an it’s ticking you off
Picking up on late night takeaway talks
Clutching at the straws but you’re coming up short.
It’s 1984
you got binoculars you don’t know what for
Dreaming you got freedom but you pay to be watched
Laughing at your brother but he comes out on top

I’m so exposed
To artificial green light glows
Keep me up all night dreams like oh
I’m so exposed
To artificial green light glows
Keep me up all night dream like scream like oh

She got you in a headlock
You don’t get it and it’s making you cross
Deafened by her charms alarms going off
Picking at your heart but it’s all scabbed up.
They’re knocking at your door
You’ve got a telescope you don’t know what for
Drip-fed information down a television cord
I got sky plus but I still get bored.

I’m so exposed
To artificial green light glows
Keep me up all night dreams like oh
I’m so exposed
To artificial green light glows
Keep me up all night dream like scream like oh

She got you in a headlock
Pull you underwater to the bedrock
Holding on to your luck like a shamrock
But now she’s come to tell you that it’s bad luck
And all you ever wanted was some hard love
Only in it for the winning but it’s hard work
How come all we ever seem to do is hard work
Have we got enough water for the whole flood

Nah, I can’t get on top of this
Seems everything keeps moving out from under my feet
Nah, I can’t get on top of this
Instead of moving forward I keep missing a beat like..
Nah, I can’t get on top of this
Seems everything keeps moving out from under my feet
Nah, I can’t get on top of this
Instead of moving forward I keep missing a beat like..

I’m so,
exposed,
to artificial green light screen light glows
I’m so exposed
To artificial green light glows
Keep me up all night dreams like oh
I’m so exposed
To artificial green light glows
Keep me up all night dream like scream like oh
