Lyrics
Television
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
On top of the hour (compulsive my behaviour)
I see my life through Sky News (keeping things in order)
Keep on watching things unfolding on my wide-screen set
Can't contain myself
I'm going pay-per-view
Think I'll explode (in the corner of my room)
If I do too much gak (sits my one big eyeball)
It's with the advent of this pay-per-view
Can't control myself
I scratch my knee
I have to scratch the other
Documentaries are the best
Thru' my T.V., through my T.V.
All my problems come
Thru' my T.V., through my T.V.
All my problems come
I study quite hard (in the corner of my room)
When I should be in bed (sits my one big eyeball)
I'm in the Open University
Constant imprint of the test card on my eyes
I think I should rest (compulsive my behaviour)
Sleep on one side and the other (keeping things in order)
Always searching for the Abilene
Can't control myself
