"I wish I had
Seen you in front of your T.V set
I wish I'd seen you
When you blew up
What seemed to be the whole world to you
I wish I woke up
When you were sad
I wish I had
Seen you in front of your T.V set
All alone in your room
You blew up your television
The whole world to you
And less of you is left
On your own in your room
You blew up your television
The whole world to you
And less of you is left
I wish I had
Seen you in front of your T.V set
I wish I'd seen you
When you blew up
What seemed to be the whole world to you
All alone in your room
You blew up your television
The whole world to you
And less of you is left
On your own in your room
You blew up your television
The whole world to you
And less of you is left
I wish I could take you outside and
I wish I saw the rest of you here
I wish I could take you outside and
I wish I saw the rest of you here
On your own in your room
You blew up your television
The whole world to you
And less of you is left
I wish I could take you outside and
I wish I saw the rest of you here ..."
mansun ın bu gereksiz aygıtı son derece iyi tarif ettiği sarkısıdır ;
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
