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 |
