The Voyeur [I Like to Watch] lyrics

Track down a satellite, beam in the action,

Life lies bleeding live in your living room,

Your senses on remote control, it’s overkill and overload

From Lockerbie to Lebanon's getting closer every day

From 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 bleating of a bimbo, a back-stabbing 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 rerun and replay in slow-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

And the programs 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 peak-time

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 analyze

I like to watch my methods and motives, the topic of talk shows

I like to watch

Switch off! Turn on! Switch off! Turn on! ... Switch of!
