TELLY SONG - Steffe Lewry The telly's out or order And we are getting bored-er Making it without The lord of control Why hold me like you do X-ray me till I'm blue Do you not know What you do to me What you do to me I need a fix of vision It's my intimate decision To live inside the fodder Of electrical transmission And when the late show ends And I really need a friend Where are you? Where are you? I'm too sad to live inside the ten o'clock news Too old to build a castle in the air But mad enough to know whats there In the heads of politicans Whatever your system Whatever your knowledge Whatever your state of mind Whatever the government says Whatever the teacher says Whatever the police state tells you There is; No way No way No way No way No way No way No way No way No way You can believe, it won't change a thing
Here and Now
Fantasy Shift
JACQUES COUSTEAU LOVES ANCHOVIES You get high with things you find at the bottom of the sea You've got spacemen lifting off and losing gravity Nothing wrong with using all your flash technology Having raps with dolphins while you mange anchovies TV wipes your brains out like the fishes in the sea Radioactive sea monsters all grin at you and me Watch out! Watch out! there's a monster about wraps you up and p'rhaps you'd better watch out for your soul Think we'll ever work it out or have we blown the time? My friend says a spaceman's gonna sort him out just fine Meanwhile if you're waiting just make sure your heart don't freeze And Jacques Cousteau will tell you that he loves those anchovies.

It's sometimes so hard to get through hard to get through hard to get through hard to get through Its so hard on your own To find someone to trust Don't let your heart turn to stone Or your dreams turn to dust Its hard to find a good friend Not motivated by greed But I believe in the end You will find what you need When I'm looking at you, I can believe it's true That somehow we all will pull through all will pull through all will pull through all will pull through
