One Of My Eyes Is A Clock - Live In London
[Spoken Intro]
Who likes Jazz?
Does anyone likes Jazz, yeah?
Let's play some motherfucking Jazz
This is called "one of my eyes is a clock"
[Verse 1]
Speak
Wahh
Don't want to live my life from the outside looking in
Through a camera phone lens
Surely, that makes no sense?
How can you enjoy yourself, if you're always auditioning for an online fashion parade?
Ghastly, grinning, gurning cavalcade?
Push your friends together, and all adopt a glassy smile
Click and send so everyone knows you're having all this fucking fun
[Verse 2]
We don't go to parties anymore, we go to huge non-paid photoshoots
So everyone can advertise their impressive, exciting, happy lives
When did we get stuck in this whole vain mindset, pimping our moments on the internet?
Even I know, and I've a great, big, fat ego, I'm not the star of a reality show
"Movie of me", a timeline for all to see, compile your own documentary
[Verse 3]
I'm no-one
C'mon
One
They're no-one
So now, please Goddammit everyone
Let's just fucking get over ourselves
[Verse 4]
And turn those fucking things off, if you're watching movies or a band
Why can no-one concentrate?
It's not so hard, unless you're eight
Couples now in restaurants, face-to-face, just tapping away
Inches from each other, why'd they even bother?
[Verse 5]
God
It's so
Can't they even go sixty secs
Without reading or sending texts?
[Verse 6]
These things aren't moving the human race on
They're turning us into navel-gazing morons
I'm frightened for our children
[Verse 7]
Maybe one day, I will give way
Log on to say something inane
Take forever, try to be clever
Type whatever, something like this
[Outro]
"I'm sitting down"
Or "I just saw Will Smith murder a fucking tramp."
Yes
"I'm drowning myself"
"One of my eyes is a clock"
Thanks
