 Lyrics to the song Slow Motion TV as recorded by Phil Manzanera.

SlOW MOTION TV

Words & Music by 
Phil Manzanera, Bill MacCormick & Simon Ainley.

It just can't be what it seems
The song is solemn
Got you full of dreams
Press the button and the lead singer screams 
It's like slow motion TV
Are you sure that it really don't matter to you 
It's like slow motion TV
And on the replay
It could be you or me
The papars say you can believe what you see 
But what you see isn't real
Are you sure that it really don't matter to you
It don't matter to me
Are you sure that it really don't matter to you 
I'll sit and watch if you please
You've heard the rumours
You've seen the news
You've read the papers
It takes it's time
Less and less noise
It took you less
Until you made your choice
Coloured pictures on your TV screen
In 20 years it could happen to me
Feeling tired, close your eyes
What do you see
I see myself
It's like slow motion TV
What you see isn't real
But if it isn't
What is real
Take it easy
It's true what you feel
Coz it don't matter to me
Are you sure that it really don't matter to you 
It don't matter to me
Are you sure that it really don't matter to you 
It don't matter to me
Are you sure that it really don't matter to you 
I'll sit and watch if you please
Are you sure that it really don't matter to you 
It don't matter to you
