LYRICS

Double Speak

It’s on the TV and in the papers every day of the week

It says please try me but advertising is a bit of a cheek

From online dating, how to flirt

To carpet cleaner that gets the dirt

My concentration just gets hurt

It’s doublespeak

Just can’t escape this obsession to get into our heads

Make us believe we need new duvets, pillow cases and beds

And life insurance is a must

Cremation’s something we can trust

Ash to ash and dust to dust

Leaves me non-plussed

Chorus

The charity ad that makes me sad

The lottery win that makes me grin

The bank that’s been my friend all my life

There’s nothing they don’t advertise

But believing would be unwise

Seminal mental intrusion is rife

Instrumental

Chorus

The animal ad that makes me sad

The prize-draw win that makes me grin

And Yorkshire Tea’s the laugh of my life

There’s nothing they won’t advertise

But believing is just unwise

For seminal advertising is rife

It’s on the TV and in the papers every day of the week

It says please try me but advertising is a bit of a cheek

No longer will I be annoyed

Cos I am going to avoid

The ads, I’ll put them to the sword

Fast-forward them cos I’ll record….everything!
