Big Brother (Live ’74) Lyrics

[Keyboard Intro]

[Verse 1]
Don't talk of dust and roses
Or should we powder our noses?
Don’t live for last year's capers
Give me steel, give me steel, give me pulsars unreal
He'll build a glass asylum
With just a hint of mayhem
He’ll build a better whirlpool
We'll be living from sin
Then we can really begin

[Bridge]
Please saviour, saviour, show us
Hear me, I'm graphically yours

[Chorus]
Someone to claim us, someone to follow
Someone to shame us, some brave Apollo
Someone to fool us, someone like you
We want you Big Brother, Big Brother

[Outro]
Brother
Hoo, hoo
Shake it up, shake it up
Move it up, move it up
Brother
Hoo, hoo
Shake it up, shake it up
Move it up, move it up
Brother
Hoo, hoo
Shake it up, shake it up
Move it up, move it up
Brother
Hoo, hoo

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
