XTC - Drums And Wires

Reel By Reel - 2001 - Remaster

Ooh-hooh-hooh
Ooh-hooh-hooh
Ooh-hooh-hooh
Ooh-hooh

In this secret time now
Invading on our privacy
Unknowing we mime-ah
We play for the ministry
They can film you in bed
Or when you take a bath
They can tape every cry
They can tape every laugh
They can turn you around
So you won't know what's...

Real- by reel
Busy little bees recording everything you feel on...
Real- by reel
You're documented down like rats
They're catching up on every squeal on...

Real by reel by real by... (On)
Real by reel by real by... (On)

Ooh-hooh-hooh
Ooh-hooh-hooh
Ooh-hooh-hooh
Ooh-hooh

In this hidden time now
Ignorance may help you to cope
Rehearsing for crime-ah
And sex just in government CinemaScope
They can film you at work
Or when they let you play
They can tape what you think
And they can tape what you say
They can't blur your I.D.
So you won't know what's...

Real- by reel
They're busy little bees recording everything you feel on...
Real- by reel
You're documented down like rats
They're catching up on every squeal on...

Real by reel by real by... (On)
Real by reel by real by...

Now I lay me down to sleep
Knowing that your lenses peep
And now I eat my daily bread
And into the tape spool I'll be fed

They can film you in bed
Or when you take a bath
They can tape every cry
And they can tape every laugh
They can turn you around
So you won't know what's...

Real- by reel
They're busy little bees recording everything you feel on...
Real- by reel
You're documented down like rats
They're catching up on every squeal on...

Real by reel by real by... (On)
Real by reel by real by... (On)
Real by reel by real by... (On)
Real by reel by real by...

Ooh-hooh-hooh
Ooh-hooh-hooh
Ooh-hooh-hooh
