Phil Collins Tv Story
Simpsons family had hardly spoke
With seven kids, it wasn't a joke
Just meeting at night on the sofa
All trying to watch TV
Talked 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, there been a life
But where, remote control?
Smell the roses before the 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, it's to 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
The remote-control in the bin
Wait to the world you're living in
One day, they'll get a life
Heard the moment inside of their reach
Like the luxury on the beach
One fine day, a challenge was thrown
By a man at the door, in an ask-emo
All this could be yours, he said with a grin
Your dream, complete with passport
Challenge was to see, if they could change
TV diners were all that remained
The man from the game show took the set
Could they survive without it?
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 an addictions 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
It's out there somewhere
Oh yeah, brand new life
Just waiting for you someplace somewhere
Oh yeah, it's a brand new life
It's out there somewhere
Oh yeah, brand new life
Just waiting for you someplace somewhere
