Miss Gradenko Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don't tell the director I said so
But are you safe, Miss Gradenko?
We were at a policy meeting
They were planning new ways of cheating
I didn't want to rock your boat
But you sent this dangerous note
[Pre-Chorus]
You've been letting your feelings show
Are you safe, Miss Gradenko?
Miss Gradenko, are you safe?
Are you safe, Miss Gradenko?
Miss Gradenko, are you safe?
[Chorus]
Is anybody alive in here?
Anybody alive in here?
Is anybody at all in here?
Nobody but us in here
Nobody but us
Is anybody alive in here?
Nobody but us
[Verse 2]
Your uniform don't seem to fit
You're much too alive in it
Don't tell the director I said so
But are you safe, Miss Gradenko?
We were at a policy meeting
They were planning new ways of cheating
I didn't want to rock your boat
But you sent this dangerous note
[Pre-Chorus]
You've been letting your feelings show
Are you safe, Miss Gradenko?
Miss Gradenko, are you safe?
Are you safe, Miss Gradenko?
Miss Gradenko, are you safe?
[Chorus]
Is anybody alive in here?
Anybody alive in here?
Is anybody at all in here?
Nobody but us in here
Nobody but us
Is anybody alive in here?
Nobody but us
[Verse 2]
Your uniform don't seem to fit
You're much too alive in it
[Pre-Chorus]
You've been letting your feelings show
Are you safe, Miss Gradenko?
Miss Gradenko, are you safe?
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Is anybody alive in here?
Is anybody alive in here?
Is anybody at all in here?
Nobody but us in here
Nobody but us
Is anybody alive in here?
Is anybody alive in here?
Is anybody at all in here?
Nobody but us in here
Nobody but us
Nobody but us in here
Nobody but us
You've been letting your feelings show
Are you safe, Miss Gradenko?
Miss Gradenko, are you safe?
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Is anybody alive in here?
Is anybody alive in here?
Is anybody at all in here?
Nobody but us in here
Nobody but us
Is anybody alive in here?
Is anybody alive in here?
Is anybody at all in here?
Nobody but us in here
Nobody but us
Nobody but us in here
Nobody but us
About
Genius Annotation
The last of Stewart Copeland’s writing contributions to The Police, “Miss Grandenko” is track four of 1983’s Synchronicity. Admittedly about “forbidden love and a totalitarian regime,” the song features instrumentation that is reminiscent of The Police’s early material in the verses, including some heavy hi hat work from Copeland. The choruses follow more of an arena rock format with a sing-along chorus.
