New TV


by Malcolm Guite

You got a brand new Berghaus Jacket,
People would kill for your shoes.
You got a house they might re-possess,
You got a job you might lose.
You got a video collection,
With titles that the Law should never see.
But no matter where you plug it in
You can't get any love from your new TV

You got the latest hi-tech hot-hatch,
The payments are overdue,
You don't talk to your parents,
You think they might have forgotten you.
Well you used to have a wife,
But you know money always made you disagree,
And no matter where you plug it in,
You can't get any love from your new TV.

Well you're dressed up like the adverts,
You look hot for love in the latest designer jeans,
But you traded in relationships,
For people who use you and screw just like machines.

There's someone looking for you,
He knows you're hard to find.
They say that when He made this world,
He still had you in mind.
He stretched His arms to reach for you,
He wants to make you new and set you free,
But how can he get through to you,
If you just can't unplug that new TV

He'd give you all His Father's love,
If only you'd unplug that new TV.

You got a new TV,
You got a new TV...
