The Voyeur (I Like To Watch) lyrics

Song information

Artist: Fish
Album: Vigil

Lyrics

Track down a satellite, beam in the action, life lies bleeding
Live in your living room, our senses on remote control overkill and overload
≫from lockerbie to lebanon's getting closer every day
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 bleeding of a bimbo, a backstabbing 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 replay and rerun in slo 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
The programmes 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 peaktime, 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 analise
I like to watch my methods and motives, the topic of talk shows
I like to watch
Switch off, turn on
