lyrics

I was a foolish insensitive lazy sod
I had my moments of being unkind
Until I went out and got me a pocket God
For peace of mind - for peace of mind
I took to helping myself in the afternoon
Every spare moment I would spend inside
And if I only had time to be fancy free
Then I would be fine - I would be fine

I've seen the light on and it's all in my head
Amused how life falls into play
Let Cinderella tell her happy ever after
All the tears and laughter take me away - take me away

Wasted my time with this broken down TV screen
What am I to do with this transparency?
Feeling adrift from this phoney technology
Just give me some peace, oh I need some please,
Just give me some peace, oh I need some please

Maybe I'll cross over here to a safer side
Walk on the greener grass if I close my eyes
I'll flicker back into life
But still I'm dissatisfied
You'd help me out if you thought there was something for you
Well I've got this thing in my pocket that gets me through
Jealousy rains on you
When you see something new

After your plans and your schemes and your malcontent
Tears on your window and scars in your heart
Bag it all up and dispose of this pocket God
And make a new start - make a new start - make a new start
Make a new start

Oh I've seen the light on was it all in my head?
Amused how life falls into play
Let Cinderella tell her happy ever after
All the tears and laughter take me away - take me away
