The Bluetones - London Weekend Television Lyrics

The Bluetones Lyrics

"London Weekend Television"

Something for the people trying to behave
Something for the Barneys riding on a wave
Something for the wretches nobody forgave
Something for the squaws, the chieftains and the braves...

Something for the folk confusing love and lust
Something for the zombies rising from the dust
Something for the babies trying to adjust
Something for the vexed recoiling in disgust

We've got a sure-fire cure for your pessimism
We call it London Weekend Television

You don't need to seek parental permission
But keep your peepers peeled open wide
You'd better brace yourself for a live transmission
'Cos there's nothing on the other side

Spare a little thought for those who never understood
Spare a thought for those who did not make it out the woods
Spare a thought for those who always come up with the goods
Spare a thought for those, but whoops, there goes the neighborhood

You don't need to seek parental permission
And keep your peepers peeled open wide
We've got a sure-fire cure for your pessimism
We call it London Weekend Television
