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.
