lyrics

1984
(Lyrics by Anthony McManus & Warrick Fraser)
*Quote from "1984" Novel by George Orwell


Careful what you think
Because it defines you, it comes back to you
With us or against us
Are you with us or against us?

Careful what you see
Make sure you reference it on your Tv
Alert, but not alarmed
Be alert but not alarmed

*Oranges and lemons, say the bells of St Clement's
You owe me three farthings, say the bells of St Martin's
Here comes a candle, to light you to bed
And here comes a chopper, to chop of your head

They feed you
Tap you vein and bleed you
Reach to your throat once more
Born to consume
Oil and Perfume
Neon Cocoon
It's like 1984

*Oranges and lemons, say the bells of St Clement's
You owe me three farthings, say the bells of St Martin's
Here comes a candle, to light you to bed
And here comes a chopper, to chop of your head

Predictable, uninspired
Emotion hard-wired
They had research to do
Look for sheep and they found you

They feed you
Tap you vein and bleed you
Reach to your throat once more
Born to consume
Oil and Perfume
Neon Cocoon
It's like 1984

Always plenty to go around
Just be careful what you think
More than enough to go around
Just be careful what you think

DNA.LIEN Brisbane, Australia

DNA.LIEN began not so much as a band, but more as an ambitious multimedia juggernaut.
Everything from music production and engineering through to graphic art was completed by the band.
Many solicited and unsolicited demo's were sent to various places locally & abroad.
Ultimately, the first incarnation of DNA.LIEN proved too ambitious.
The members took a break to reflect on the project. ... more
