Adverts - Great British Mistake Adverts - Great British Mistake |
| The great British mistake was looking for a way out,
was getting complacent, not noticing the pulse was racing
- the mistake was fighting the change, was staying the same.
It couldn´t adapt so it couldn´t survive,
something had to give, the people take a downhill slide
into the gloom, into the dark recesses of their minds.
I swoop over your city like a bird
I climb the high branches and observe
Into the mouth, into the soul
I cast a shadow that swallows you whole
I swoop, I climb, I cling, I suck,
I swallow you whole
String out the drip-feed, they´re losing their world,
the´re losing their hard boys and magazine girls,
adverts illegal, TV as outlaw, motive as spell.
They´ll see the books burn. they´ll be 451, it´s
people against things and not against each other,
out of the pre-pack, into the fear, into themselves.
They´re the great British mistake - the genie´s outv of the bottle,
call in the magician, they didn´t mean to free him,
devil behind them, devil in the mirror, chained to their right hands.
They´re the great British mistake - they´ll have to come to terms now,
they´ll take it out somehow, they´ll blame it all on something.
The British mistake - when will it be over? How can they avoid it?
