Spooks Songtext
von Spooks

Well, I′m not used to being run along rock and roll lines
The sun will set and the moon will rise
And the stars begin to shine
And the dogs are running riot in the fields and in the mines
And the spooks are watching video of you
Morning, noon and night
Well, a friend of mine went travelling a long, long time ago
To see friends, he journeyed overseas, as close as he could go
He came back across the border and much to his surprise
Saw the muzzle of an SLR right between his eyes
They said, "What's your name and date of birth?"
And none of the usual tricks
"It′s only me, Mike Morrison, 1956"
So they went away to do their checks and very soon returned
He stuck his face right up Mike's and told him what he'd learnt
"Are you Robert Michael Stewart of 15 Hester Road?"
Said Mike to he, "Yes, that is me, and I know how you know


For I moved there just a week ago and the only ones I′ve told
Are those fuckers at the bank who have my secrets and my gold"
So here′s to Edward Snowden and the service he performs
But if you think that's something new then you′re not even warm
They've been watching us for decades in the service of the state
And it′s been 1984 since 1968
Spooks are watching video of you
Morning, noon and night
Spooks are watching video of you
Morning, noon and night
Spooks are watching video of you
Spooks are watching video of you
Spooks, spooks, spooks, spooks
Spooks, spooks, spooks, spooks, spooks, spooks, spooks, spooks
Spooks, spooks, spooks, spooks, spooks, spooks
Spooks, spooks, spooks, spooks, spooks, spooks
Spooks, spooks, spooks, spooks, spooks, spooks
