Black And White Television |
I looked in the mirror then |
Saw my face in a dream |
With eyes sharp as diamonds |
Blessed with clear vision |
Things were not as they seemed |
Black and white television |
Stared back from the wall |
Is that my life? |
Am I here at all? |
Down in the high road, see |
Motor cavalcades glide |
Past shopwindow dressers |
Desperately covering |
All the parts they can hide |
Black and white television |
Stares at me again |
Is that their lives? |
Even dummies pretend |
The truth is so hard to deny |
The answer is here |
The screen never lies |
Black and white television |
It’s the right television |
Show me it’s all a dream tonight |
The boys on the corner sulk |
In their suzuki haze |
In primary colours |
(each year more startling) |
But they still fade to grey |
On black and white television |
It’s sweeping the land |
Is that your life? |
Do you understand? |
The truth is so hard to deny |
The answer is here |
The screen never lies |
Black and white television |
Back the right television |
Black and white television |
Hard to fight television |
Show me it’s all a dream tonight |
