Prime Time TV

(album: Time And Tide - 1987)

It's only here by popular demand
Where there's a hero
You'll find a villain
It is a tried and tested most successful billing

They're in the kitchen
They're in the bedroom
They bring the world inside the home
They want to live in

As we look inside their private lives
It's really me and you
We're watching on the tube
In just one week
You'll be hooked so deep
A dairy dose of soap on the screen

This is prime time TV
A real life drama
As seen on prime time TV
You can't turn it off and walk away

The same old story
From rags to riches
The conflicting morals of a family business
You can't predict it, no

The play's so twisted
Maybe that's the reason why it's so addictive
All the alibis and fake surprise
Will Cecil B, DeMille be turning in his grave
But even so like the ratings show
We'll watch it once again everytime

'Cause this is prime time TV
More real life drama
As seen on prime time TV
It's only here by popular demand
Yeah Yey, yey, yey

Is it a window,is it a mirror
Is it just for entertainment for pleasure
So when it's over we're back to people
Just to prove that human touch can have no equal

As we look inside their private lives
It's really me and you
We're watching on the tube
In just one week

You'll be hooked so deep
A dairy dose of soap on the screen
It's only here by popular demand

'Cause this is prime time TV
More real life drama
As seen on prime time TV
It's only here by popular demand

'Cause this is prime time TV
More real life drama
As seen on prime time TV
It's only here by popular demand
It's only here by popular demand
