TV Story (B-side) |
| Simpson family hardly spoke |
| With seven kids, it wasn’t a joke |
| Just meeting at night on the sofa |
| All trying to watch TV |
| Tucked away in North West Three |
| Car in the garage, but dad lost the key |
| So no-one leaves, not even for school |
| Place is a mess, but the game shows are cool |
| Someday, they’ll get a life |
| Put away the remote control |
| Smell the roses 'fore you get old |
| Hey you, get a life |
| Turn it off and throw it away |
| Wake up and walk away |
| 'Cause grandma, granddad, remember the days |
| Before the one-eyed monster came |
| Nobody listens as they say all this |
| Cause everybody’s glued |
| Lunch and dinner in front of the box |
| Nobody moves, if somebody knocks |
| Nobody ever hears the phone |
| Conversation’s a memory |
| Someday, they’ll get a life |
| With the remote control in the bin |
| Wave to the world you’re living in |
| One day, they’ll get a life |
| But at the moment, it’s out of their reach |
| A life of luxury on the beach |
| One fine day, a challenge was thrown |
| By a man at the door in an Escort |
| «All this could be yours"he said with a grin |
| Your dream, complete with passport |
| Challenge was to see, if they could change |
| TV dinners were all that remained |
| The men from the game show took the set |
| Could they survive without it? |
| Well, mum and dad learned to laugh again |
| Kids went out and made some friends |
| All because of the empty space |
| Standing in the corner |
| Hey now, they’ve got a life |
| Remote control’s nowhere to be seen |
| That’s made 'em the dishes clean |
| Oh yeah, it’s a brand new life |
| So go put on your dancing shoes |
| Shout it out and spread the news |
| Oh yeah, it’s a brand new life |
| (Get a brand new life!) |
| It’s out there somewhere |
| (Don't just settle for second best!) |
| Oh yeah, a brand new life |
| (Call now!) |
| Just waiting for you someplace somewhere |
| (All this could be yours and more!) |
| Oh yeah, it’s a brand new life |
| (All you have to do is survive for it!) |
| It’s out there somewhere |
| (Don't just sit there now!) |
| Oh yeah, a brand new life |
| (Get 'em one, just go get 'em one!) |
| Just waiting for you someplace somewhere |
| (Apply now! Follow me…) |
