I'm A Telly Addict!

(album: Absurd-Ditties - 1993)

I don't need a doctor
I don't need a drugstore
I don't need an injection
I need to put the telly on

Songs of Praise, Pakistani plays
I can't control my TV craze

Got me in a cold sweat
I don't need no cigarette
Sh sh sh shaking like a jelly fish
I need a satellite dish

There's no doubt that I miss nowt
A TV I can't do without
Anything you get on yer television set
I'll watch it, watch it, watch it

I'm a telly, I'm a telly, telly I'm addicted
Telly, I'm a telly, I can tell I am addicted
I'm a telly, I'm a telly, telly I'm addicted
Telly, I'm a telly, I can tell I am addicted

I like to keep a step ahead
A TV in the garden shed
And with a telly in the bog
I never miss the epilogue

Dynasty or Daktari
A broadcast by the Tory party
Celebrity squares, blind date, who cares
I'll watch it, watch it, watch it

I'm a telly, I'm a telly, telly I'm addicted
Telly, I'm a telly, I can tell I am addicted

It's no surprise I've got square eyes, anyone could predict
I'm TV mad, I'm a telly addict!

I'm a man in great pain
The box is on the blink again
I don't need no morphine
I need a television screen

Documentaries, there's no degrees
I'll even watch a film if it's in Chinese
A speech from the Queen, though I'm not very keen
I'll watch it, watch it, watch it

I'm a telly, I'm a telly, telly I'm addicted
Telly, I'm a telly, I can tell I am addicted
I'm a telly, I'm a telly, telly I'm addicted
Telly, I'm a telly, I can tell I am addicted

I'm a telly, I'm a telly, telly I'm addicted
Telly, I'm a telly, I can tell I am addicted
I'm a telly, I'm a telly, telly I'm addicted
I'll watch it, watch it, watch it
Cause I'm addicted
