2023 AD Lyrics

I call in the off-licence to pick up some beers

I talk to the shopkeeper through a gap in the elfbars

"I'll have that one over there !"

I know her from school

Must've been 1983

Now it's 2023

2023AD…

We mustn't grumble it could be worse

We laugh at the snow falling outside

That's not snow like it used to be

That's not 1980s snow

That's snowflake snow !

I remember the shopkeeper from parties

People said she gave her baby special brew to help it sleep

Must've been 1987 or 1988

Now it's 2023

2023AD…

I walk out into the cold night air

Snow dancing in streetlight

Falling faster not proper snow

"See ya hun, yeah see ya later happy 2023"-

A pale blue mask infectious in the gutter

The great reset came and went

Work from home stare at walls

Internet banking, online wanking

Just take a ticket and wait

Spungle in the jungle

I'm a celebrity fucking get me out of here

"Can I have a flat white to go for the gentleman in the felt hat-

And can you stick a Portuguese tart up his arse ! He's triggering me ,

Back to 1973,

And it's 2023

2023-2023 AD

It's the dawning of a non era

Small boats bobbing

The white cliffs of Dover

Fields of flags and kind like-minded people

Cap in hand in a green and pleasant land

"Did you have a nice time ahh did you ?

Did you have a nice time ahh !

Did you have a nice time ahh did you ?

Did you have a nice time ?

Did you fuck…"
