Undressing for the Drones

UNDRESSING FOR THE DRONES
Trev Teasdel March 2013 Great Ayton – Music Steve Cooke.

All the pubs are closing down
And there’s a peep show in town
Watching you in a crowd
Watching you all alone
Undressing for the drones
Undressing for the drones

Movement is restricted
District to district
And if they feel inclined
They watch the pictures in your mind
Undressing for the drones
Undressing for the drones

Bridge
They’re working undercover
Spying on each other
They’ll be making arrests
For all this corporate burlesque
Undressing for the drones
Undressing for the drones etc.

Another one written for Stockton on Tees funk maverick Steve Cooke. He wanted some political lyrics. This one is set to a Human League style track. I wrote the lyric on mobile notepad while walking my lawnmower for repair on Stokesley industrial estate. The Station Hotel, where we used to go to see blues bands was boarded up and thus the first line. A headline in the newsagents was about the advent of drones and the implications. Hence the song.
