Píseň: The video shop

Think visual
The local factory's been pulled down 
By an overseas corporation 
Now all of my brothers are looking around 
For alternative occupation 


I was sitting by the telly with my brother, Kenny 
When suddenly the penny dropped 
While all of my brothers are sitting at home 
I've got a bank loan and I've opened up my very own 
Video shop 
Video shop 


At the video shop 
I can fly, fly you away 


Comedy and tragedy are all sitting on my shelf 
And if you've got a fantasy 
For a small rental fee 
You can set yourself free 
At my video shop 
At my video shop 
At the video shop 


I can fly, fly you away 
At the video shop 
Let me fly, fly you away 
From all of the depression in you head 
Caused by all the living in the red 


I've got a bootleg version of Citizen Kane 
A second hand copy of Psycho 
I've taped them off the telly so you shouldn't complain 
And there's no guarantee you'll get your money back again 
From my video shop 
My video shop 


If you want to escape, I can rent you a tape 
To relieve your situation 
If you feel a bit low, I got a good peep show 
'Cos everybody knows almost anything goes 
At my video shop 
At my video shop 


One fifty a day and I'll fly, fly you away 
It's nothing to pay to fly far, far away 
I can help you through that lonely night 
I've got Technicolour, black and white 
I can guide you through those empty days 
Make you smile and take your blues away 


O let me fly you away 
At my video shop 
Fly, fly you away 


Another factory's been knocked down 
But nobody ever complains 
And all of my brothers are customers now 
We all play video games 
I can see it in the eyes of all the lonely wives 
If they're bored and they feel like a change 
I do sales, rentals, even a swop 
And if you feel like a change, well it can all be arranged 
At my video shop 
At my video shop 
At my video shop 


At my video shop 
Let me fly, fly you away 


And everyone who walks in through that door 
Has got something that they're looking for 
At my video shop 
At my video shop 
At the video shop 
I can fly, fly you away 


At the video shop 
Let me fly, fly you away 
Oh, at the video shop 


Oh, at the video shop 
Oh, at the video shop
