We used these John Watts lyrics for one of our songs. Needless to say we will credit the man himself if we ever manage to release the record. The original song is called 'Watching you' but it turned into "Opium" when we worked on it...
Sixteen turkeys squashed together underground
Sixteen eyes preparing not to meet
Don't you read his paper or he'll shake the thing about
And never touch a woman with your feet
Don't think I didn't see
Don't think I didn't
Don't think
Don't...
I've been watching you
You've been watching me now
I've been watching you
You've been watching me now
Everybody's equal on the moving stairs
The businessmen rub shoulders with the street
Shifting for position to observe the girl's behind
It's really not that hard to be discrete
Don't think I didn't see
Don't think I didn't
Don't think
Don't...
I've been watching you
You've been watching me now
I've been watching you
You've been watching me now
A black man in a hurry stumbles into me
When I fall he offers me his hand
A crowd of eyes has gathered looking mortified
There's no United Nations in this town
I've been watching you
You've been watching me now
I've been watching you
You've been watching me now
