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 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 Nineteen fifty-six\" So they went away To do their checks And very soon returned He stuck his face right up to Mike's And told him what he'd learned \"Are you Robert Michael Stuart Of fifteen Hessle Grove?\" 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's performed 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 nineteen eighty four Since nineteen sixty eight 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
