about

Ownlife is a straight digest of Orwell’s 1984. This book grows in my mind on a regular basis. I think it’s a towering achievement & a warning about Patriarchy if not totalitarianism.
In a way ‘Big Brother’ is an Old Testament prophet who must be feared first & loved second.
In spite of knowing the ending I always had a crush on Julia.

lyrics

Ownlife

kiss me cos I’m bound to die
but I can’t even take my own life
won’t you help me
to contact The Brotherhood?
I’ve been outside
the whole time

we used to live in
a golden country
we used to make love
under the sun

once I even thought
that we’d made a contact
but they get you like that
one by one..

in a little room
above an old junk shop
we made love and we hid out of sight
we had our books and music
and chocolate
we had coffee and paintings and light

i used to stare from a dirty back window
i used to wait for the knock on the door
we were so used to each other’s promises
now there’s nothing like that anymore

baby kiss me cos I’m bound to die
won’t you kiss me
just where i lie
i used to want
to contact The Brotherhood
they were outside the whole time
yeah they were outside
the whole time

i´ve been outside of my Ownlife
