Tekst :

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?
Black and White Television
Back the right television
Black and White Television
Hard to fight television
Show me it s all a dream
tonight.

How you gonna be somebody

She used to be with another man
A broken...

This moisture slides from my eyes
It glistens, it glistens
There s nowhere left to go now
If you teach me, I ll listen
A favorite time for mistakes
In salt lakes, we all shake
Consider me your apprentice
Repentant, yet hesitant

Please show me a sign

Chorus:

The real you

I smile at you at the show
Bullshit along with your niceties
Then I sit back and watch you go
Suck up to people you wanna be

Oooh, but I ve got it
Oooh, that you re not it
Oooh, and it s...
