Lyrics The Adverts

The Adverts

I Looked at the Sun

So this is the machine age!

It's just a disgrace

This is no way to be saved

Start again from the first page

Give me insect eyes

Insect brain

Give me insect sex

I'll be happy again

I looked at the sun

I had to have something

Suppress all personal reference

Forget the people and the place they went

Ignore the logical sequence

Welcome to the land of sense

Like the cloth from a table

The world pulled away

Can't see in front of my own face

I looked at the sun

I had to have something

So this is the machine age!

It's just a bloody waste

see you on the front page

See you in outer space

You have to climb

But you don't have to win

If you have to have something

It shows you don't need a thing

I looked at the sun

I walked away blinded

But I had to have something

More than nothing at all

On my bed of nails I rest the night

Can't make a sound to let you know I'm alright

If there's life on earth and it still thinks

Better head for the hills and wait for daylight

I looked at the sun

I had to have something
