1984/Do Do — текст песни (David Bowie)

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 split your pretty cranium, and fill it full of air
And tell that you`re eighty, but brother you won`t care
You`ll be shooting up anything 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)

1984
1984
1984 (Mor-or-or-or-ore)
1984
1984 (Mor-or-or-or-ore)
1984
1984 (Mor-or-or-or-ore)
