Headlock Songtext
von Martha Hill

She got you in a headlock
You don′t want it and it's ticking you off
Picking up on late night takeaway talk
Clutching at the straws, they′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, dream 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 want it and it′s making you cross
Deafened by her charms, alarms going off
Picking at your heart but it's all scabbed up
Now they′re knocking at your door
You 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, dream 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 onto your luck like a shamrock
But now she's come to tell you that it′s bad luck
And all we ever wanted was some hard love
Only in it for the winning but it′s hard, love
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, dream like, scream like, oh
Oh, I'm so exposed
To artificial green light glows
Keep me up all night, dream like, scream like, oh
I'm so exposed
To artificial green light glows
Keep me up all night, dream like, scream like, oh
