Fish - The Voyeur (I Like To Watch)

Album:

Track down a satellite, beam in the action, life lies bleeding
live in your living room, our senses on remote control overkill and overload.
>From Lockerbie to Lebanon's getting closer every day
Hollywood to Hungerford's an impression away.

I like to watch implausible pledges of polite politicians.
I like to watch them even more than my video nasties.
I like to watch.

The bleeding of a bimbo, a backstabbing beauty queen
titillating tabloids trigger off a wet dream into action
a fatal attraction, private lives are up for auction.
A cupboard full of skeletons are coming out to play.

I like to watch disasters in replay and rerun in slo mo.
I like to watch on the spot interviews kicking in front doors.
I like to watch.

To watch as my face is reflected in blank tv screens
the programmes are over, I like to pretend that that's
me up there making headlines, camera closeups
catching my right side I don't care if it's only a moment
as long as it's peaktime, just as long as all of
my friends and family see me, the world
will know my name - Come on down

I like to watch psychologists speculate, analysts analise.
I like to watch my methods and motives, the topic of talk shows.
I like to watch.
Switch off, turn on.
