Leigh: It's OK mate, like I have got CP don't you know..

[♪GUITAR STRUMS♪]
Mat: Do you wanna do, do you wanna do it again?
Brian: Yes please. (everyone talks over each other)
Phil: Can I just commend you on your comic timing Mat?

[♪SLOW GUITAR PICKING♪]

Sitting here
Reflecting On The TV
And the radio
Images blurring
Down the tube
Distorting the truth
About me and you
Me and you

Hmmm, Hmmm

Games shows
Carry on
Pledging more
To those special ones
Needing you
To be betrayed
But don't complain now
It's only a game
Only a game?

Hmmm Hmmm

I was a poster child
But now I'm an activist
And I was a pacifist
But look at me with these clenched fists
Pissed, pissed again,I guess I am
I guess I am that man

Telethon
Children in Need
Confine these lies
To our history
It's on cards now
It's in the news
The tragic and brave
Confront the boys in blue
Boys in blue

Oooo Hmmm
