Lyrics

She's pretty funny and she's pretty smart
You never heard her complain
They got married had an animal farm
He never mentioned her name
She wrote a poem in the year before
They got together in London
The End of the Century 1984
He never mentioned her name
Fall into a memory hole where nothing ever lasts
I can see the future there colliding with the past
She was the first to read and then to type the ideas
That he'd think up or then she might
Put the salient words in his ear
Fall into a memory hole where nothing ever lasts
I can see the future there colliding with the past
He never mentioned her name
Read me like an open book
I'm caught between the lines
I can see your shadow looming over mine
Down and out in Paris London too
Out on the road to Wigan Pier
We're all equal and that's the truth
But how equal that's not clear
Fall into a memory hole where nothing ever lasts
I can see the future there colliding with the past
They fought a war in Catalonia
He wrote a book to explain
It all ends up in disillusionment
He never mentioned her name
He never mentioned her name
