Po - George Orwell's on the Trail Lyrics

He caught me by the arm getting on a bus
Thought I recognised him in his tweed coat
Asked about the price to Sevenoaks
Stranger things I couldn't say
George Orwell's on the trail of yesterday

Etched into his head a century not out
Driving round the ring road of the new town
Did he start to cry as he looked around?
Stranger things I couldn't say
George Orwell's on the trail of yesterday

Somewhere in the south of England
Was a retail park
He made it disappear I don't know how
It's not there now

Things begin to change
Cringing at this man
The superstore collapses into woodland
Shoppers look alarmed like refugees
Stranger things I couldn't say
George Orwell's on the trail of yesterday
