lyrics
One Blank Channel
He comes selling experience as you can see,
But his lips are tight and his hand is open wide.
She comes dragging an animal by its neck.
Its face has changed to show your own you see.
“Face the front and raise your hands
Do you think if Christ could choose he wouldn’t be a man?
But I can’t talk now, I’m keeping busy.”
‘It couldn’t be this hard,’ you say
‘I’ve got seven heads in one today,
Just counting down the numbers,
Counting down the numbers.
This place is strange, it’s not my own you see.’
He comes selling experience as you can see,
But his lips are tight and his hand is open wide.
“Face the front and raise your hands
Do you think if Christ could choose he wouldn’t be a man?
But I can’t talk now, I’m keeping busy.”
He comes selling experience as you can see,
But his lips are tight and his hand is open wide.
She comes dragging an animal by its neck.
Its face has changed to show your own you see.
“Face the front and raise your hands
Do you think if Christ could choose he wouldn’t be a man?
But I can’t talk now, I’m keeping busy.”
‘It couldn’t be this hard,’ you say
‘I’ve got seven heads in one today,
Just counting down the numbers,
Counting down the numbers.
This place is strange, it’s not my own you see.’
He comes selling experience as you can see,
But his lips are tight and his hand is open wide.
“Face the front and raise your hands
Do you think if Christ could choose he wouldn’t be a man?
But I can’t talk now, I’m keeping busy.”
