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…) |
