Boring People Through A Square Window
By Dan Eggs

Hey.
Did you see that thing last night
Did you see that thing about the old woman
Who came from the country to the big city
And looked two ways down a one way street
And the one about the man putting on his jumper inside out
Did you see the goldfish bowl crack
And did you see the cricket ball SMACK!
Against my screen
Youwannatalkaboutatelevision
Youwannatalkaboutatelevision
Beep beep smack
Did you see that thing last night
Did you see the one about the small boy
Who had a dad who loved his mum
Who had a boyfriend in her car
And the one about the girl
Buckling up her sandal on on the wrong foot
Did you see that lovely wedding
Did you see those children screaming
With their voices turned down
Youwannatalkaboutatelevision
Youwannatalkaboutatelevision
Beep beep ring
Did you see that yesterday
Did you see the way they made squeezy bottles from aeroplanes
And the cartoons in between about hairy stoneage people
And the cat caught the dog and the dog caught the mouse
Dear cathode tube, please marry me.
I'll be your spouse inside my house
I can plug and unplug you from the wall
Electrons let me bathe my face in you
Is this a fire inside my room
Is this a sunbed or is it an armchair
I'm just lying here I'm lying here
I'm lying and wondering about you
Because I can laugh and I can cry with you
Yes I can laugh and I can cry with you
But the conversation has no words

And doyouwannatalkaboutatelevision
Youwannatalkaboutatelevision
Beep beep beep.
