Cosmograf – Bakelite Switch Lyrics

Rock

We had electric light in the '70s
Flick the heavy switch, lights up all our lives
Staring at the tiny tube flicker black and white
Switch the TV on, where's the program from?
Monopoly by candlelight, multimedia is dead
Hear the candle burn
Listen and you'll learn
We were happy in the '70s
Family all around
Hear the vinyl sound
Your busy life will lead you to forget
Where your life came from
What is right and wrong
Take a box of photographs
And feed them to your kids
It's dark in memory lane
Walk it all the same
Things were brighter in the '70s
Action men and games, racing cars with flames

Mind is heavy when you're older
We just went around the same fishbowl
Just because your fashion's bolder
It don't mean you have the same control

Collection sequence complete
Commencing memory countdown
Shut down body, switch to brain

Ten
Flick the switch to make a change
Nine
Random thoughts are within range
Eight
Imagination take the string
Seven
Shut down body, switch to brain
Six
The lunatic is on the grass
Five
All good things will come to pass
Four
Ten thousand homes in Blackburn, Lancashire
Three
Pull the plug, I'm fading fast
Two
One
Switch
