	If we stand still, we die. Only through continual renewal do we grow, and the enemy of this growth is the TVs Remote Control. An acoustic ballad, blue in colour, angry in tone.

	Story Behind the Song It isn't just old people who collapse into an armchair to spend their days flicking through the channels. I do it myself, caught in the act, hopping from poisonous toadstool to toadstool, instead of getting up off my arse (as we say in England) and doing something. If we had to get up and cross the room every time we needed to escape some rubbish, we'd soon get fed up with it. As it is, the opiate of the masses has left us all in a waking coma induced by a Remote Control. Lyrics Activate the sensors Beam the infra-red Knowing that the signals Come from in your head Find the will to stay alive Don't be bought and sold A slave remains a slave Until a slave grows old A slave grows old Remote control Alienation Break down of verbal Communication Do you wonder who's finger Hovers forever Waiting to push Your remote control Machines were made to serve us Yet a monster rears its head Taking from the hand and mouth Its labour and its bread Chill, the wind of freedom A hunger dulled when fed With bellies full of frozen food We can chill out to the soaps instead Remote control... So dive into a vacuum Of images in glass Remotely sensed, remotely felt A catatonic farce You got no blood circulating No experiences read If you don't take up a challenge You are as good as dead As good as dead… Remote control Alienation Break down of verbal Communication Do you wonder who's finger Hovers forever Waiting to push Your remote control
