Lost For Words (Please Don’t Tell Me Please Don’t Say) features many methods or forms of technology that are, or are becoming, obsolete in today’s society. The song compares A to Z Maps to Satellite Navigation, Sky-plus and Digital Boxes to VCR Players, and Internet relationships to face to face! We are living in times where the world seems to change at such an alarming rate, and a lot of the character and fun seems to be taken out of everyday life by faster, more ‘efficient’ ways of doing things.
lyrics
Everyday when I'm wide-eyed
It's the digital spectrum
Telling me to rise and shine
With news and music
But I don't like it, I don't like it
When did life become so hybrid
Live pause TV, flick plus one
My VCR is much more fun
Please don't tell me I don't know the score yet
Central locking is the key
To a mind at rest
But there's no need for excess speed
When you pass your test
I don't like when engines stop and start at lights
When you press your clutch
Recalculate your sat nav says
My A to Z goes all the way
Please don't tell me I don't know the score yet
When your deepest thoughts
Are locked up in the plainest font, you say
What you've got to say
But your laptop crashes and there must be a better way
Pen and paper here
Reporting for duty
You need never fear
We'll never leave you lost for words
The internet's all ats and dots
You met this girl online she's hot
She showed you pictures with no clothes on
But they're all fake and a copy and paste job
Grab your coat and get some son (sun)
Cos' girls for real are much more fun
