Mansun - Television lyrics

On top of the hour (compulsive my behaviour) I see my life through sky news (keeping things in order) Keep on watching things unfolding on my wide-screen set Can't contain myself I'm going pay-per-view Think i'll explode (in the corner of my room) If i do too much gak (sits my one big eyeball) It's with the advent of this pay-per-view Can't control myself I scratch my knee I have to scratch the other Documentaries are the best Thru' my t.v., through my t.v. All my problems come Thru' my t.v., through my t.v. All my problems come I study quite hard (in the corner of my room) When i should be in bed (sits my one big eyeball) I'm in the open university Constant imprint of the test card on my eyes I think i should rest (compulsive my behaviour) Sleep on one side and the other (keeping things in order) Always searching for the abilene Can't control myself
