Nineteen eighty-eight Nineteen eighty-eight There's no escape from nineteen eighty-eight Nineteen eighty-eight Nineteen eighty-eight There's no escape from nineteen eighty-eight Another Martin Amis moment The itch that someone's got to scratch Pouring petrol on your neighbours Praying someone's got a match Sometimes it taps you on shoulder Sometimes smacks you in the face Feel its hot breath on your neck It's nineteen eighty-eight Nineteen eighty-eight Nineteen eighty-eight There's no escape from nineteen eighty-eight Nineteen eighty-eight Nineteen eighty-eight Another hot date with nineteen eighty-eight Nineteen eighty-eight Nineteen eighty-eight There's no escape from nineteen eighty-eight Nineteen eighty-eight Nineteen eighty-eight There's no escape from nineteen eighty-eight Well, you pretended to be Buddhists A classic Portobello scam Then you pretended to be poor A joke that ran and ran and ran You called tax a Ponzi scheme Putting knickers on the nanny state Oh! The tales you told yourself In nineteen eighty-eight Nineteen eighty-eight Nineteen eighty-eight There's no escape from nineteen eighty-eight Nineteen eighty-eight Nineteen eighty-eight Another hot date with nineteen eighty-eight Nineteen eighty-eight Nineteen eighty-eight You can't escape from nineteen eighty-eight Nineteen eighty-eight Nineteen eighty-eight There's no escape from nineteen eighty-eight And in the office of statistics A great new cancer tops the charts We're putting twelve per cent on biscuits So we can slash the price of art And if we like your chequered cheekbones We might hang you in the Tate Let's kick this mother into life It's nineteen eighty-eight Nineteen eighty-eight Nineteen eighty-eight There's no escape from nineteen eighty-eight Nineteen eighty-eight
