lyrics

Out for a picnic with your lovely family
Get a bit of shopping, cross a road and drink some tea
Sitting in a pub or waiting for a public loo
Somebody’s watching you.

Stopping at the lights or going round a roundabout
Driving down the road or parking up and getting out
Whizzing down a motorway or sitting in a queue
Somebody’s watching you

Yes someone is watching you
No you’re not being paranoid
There’s CCTV everywhere
It’s something that you can’t avoid
Filming every sneeze and every scratch and every yawn
And someone poor low paid bastard has to sit and watch it all.

Sitting on a bench or walking doggy down the street
Every stranger passing you or matey that you meet
Every step you take and every boring thing you do
Somebody’s watching you.
Every shop you enter, every cash point you frequent
Every bus and every train and everywhere you went
In the dead of night or sunny Sunday afternoon
Somebody’s watching you

Yes someone is watching you
No you’re not being paranoid
There’s CCTV everywhere
It’s something that you can’t avoid
Like fishes in a fishtank, or monkeys at the zoo
Somebody’s watching you.

Yes someone is watching you
No you’re not being paranoid
There’s CCTV everywhere
It’s something that you can’t avoid
Just in case a hoody comes to get you with a knife
At least if you get stabbed to death someone will watch you die.

Great album. Almost a blend of Old Style and New Style Gaz. Delighted to have seen him perform two of the tracks live at Glastonbury. His performance was better than ever, and the songs are right up there with his best. matsan66

It is a memory of seeing the 3 daft monkeys live at the Driftwood Spars on 27/05/21 when Mum ‘Joanie’ first moved to Cornwall. Coming off Lithium and listening to my inner voice. eloiseclark
