Black & White Television
I looked in the mirror the
saw my face in a dream
With eyes sharp as diamond
Blessed with clear visio
Things were not as they seeme
Black and White Televisio
stared back from the wall
Is that my life
Am I here at all
Down in the High Road, se
motor cavalcades glid
past shopwindow dresser
desperately coverin
all the parts they can hide
Black and White Televisio
stares at me again
Is that their lives
Even dummies pretend
The truth is so hard to deny
The answer is her
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 sul
in their Suzuki haze
In primary colour
(each year more startling
but they still fade to gre
on Black and White Television
It's sweeping the land
Is that your life
Do you understand
Black and White Televisio
Back the right televisio
Black and White Televisio
Hard to fight televisio
Show me it's all a drea
tonight.
