Pictures flash, images sold
No sense, no thought, just behold
Star-spangled messiah struts the tube
Makes life easy just for you
Mr. no lips fights the wips
Liam and Patsy's wedding bliss
Dobbin beats the I.R.A.
(That's what happened just today)
That's what happened yesterday
The more I watch, the more I stay
Something happened yesterday
I find it hard to break away
That's what happened yesterday
The more I watch, the more I stay
Something happened yesterday
I find it hard to break away
Six numbers in, you'll miss the draw
Dream and spend, you watch some more
Evans got the car I need
Escape to virtual reality
A sterling show by the pound
Calvin's stink is well renowned
The weather's dull it's fair to say
(That's what happened just today)
That's what happened yesterday
The more I watch, the more I stay
Something happened yesterday
I find it hard to break away
That's what happened yesterday
The more I watch, the more I stay
Something happened yesterday
I find it hard to break away
Your favourite seat confronts the box
Remote control will help us watch
Technicolour overload keeps me in
Time and time and time again
Just sit there we'll be right back
The sense to move is what you lack
You want to view you'll have to pay
(That's what happened just today)
That's what happened yesterday
The more I watch, the more I stay
Something happened yesterday
I find it hard to break away
That's what happened yesterday
The more I watch, the more I stay
Something happened yesterday
I find it hard to break away
The votin's stopped it seems all Blair
Another day you're anchored there
Midnight again, you've just sat down
Last week's image just popped round
A thousand ways to spend a thought
Am I hip or missed the boat?
Into the net coz that's the way
(That's what happened just today)
That's what happened yesterday
The more I watch, the more I stay
Something happened yesterday
I find it hard to break away
That's what happened yesterday
The more I watch, the more I stay
Something happened yesterday
I find it hard to break away -- away
