TV SM!TH - Gary Gilmore's Eyes / Bored Teenagers / One Chord Wonders, Live in Berlin 14.02.2015
Gary Gilmore's Eyes
I´m lying in a hosptal
I´m pinned against the bed
A stethoscope upon my heart
A hand against my head
They´re peeling off the bandages
I´m wincing in the light
The nurse is looking anxious
And she´s quivering in fright
I´m looking through
Gary Gilmore´s eyes
The doctors are avoiding me
My vision is confused
I listen to my earphones
And I catch the evening news
A murderer´s been killed
And he donates his sight to science
I´m locked into a private ward
I realise that I must be
Looking through
Gary Gilmore´s eyes
I smash the light in anger
Push my bed against the door
I close my lids across the eyes
And wish to see no more
The eye receives the messages
And sends them to the brain
No guarantee the stimuli
Must be perceived the same
When looking
through Gary Gilmore´s eyes
Gary don´t need his eyes to see
Gary and his eyes have parted company
Bored Teenagers
We´re talking into corners
Finding ways to fill the vacuum
And though our mouths are dry
We talk in hope to hit on something new
Tied to the railway tracks
It´s one way to revive but no way to relax
We´re just bored teenagers
Looking for love
Or should I say emotional rages
Bored teenagers
Seeing ourselves as strangers
We talk about the whys and wherefore
Do we really care at all?
Talk about the frailty of words
Is rarely meaningful
When we´re sitting watching the ´planes
Burn up through the night like meteorites
We´re just bored teenagers
Looking for love
Or should I say emotional rages
Bored teenagers
One Chord Wonders
I wonder what we´ll play for you tonight
Something heavy or something light
Something to set your soul alight
I wonder how we´ll answer when you say
"We don´t like you - go away,
"Come back when you´ve learnt to play"
I wonder what we´ll do when things go wrong
When we´re half-way through
our favourite song
We look up and the audience has gone
Will we feel a little bit obscure
Think "we´re not needed here,
"We must be new wave
they´ll like us next year"
The Wonders don´t care
we don´t give a damn
