lyrics

Channel No. 5

Putting on my dark glasses, I'm going down the Bay of Pigs,
To view the local talent all stretched out on the strand.
Putting on my dark glasses, I wade out into the water,
'cos I get a better view from the sea than from the land.
Putting on my dark glasses, the ones with mirror shades,
You can't see into my soul, you can't see that I'm alive.
Switching on the Pay TV; I'm one for the ladies -
the ones you see on late night Danish Channel No. 5.

Putting on my dark glasses, I'm going international;
looking at the peaches on the Côte d'Azure.
Putting on my dark glasses. It's surprising how much pleasure
you can get by booking a place on a SunVing package tour.
Putting on my dark glasses, the ones with mirror shades,
I can peer down your cleavage I can gaze between your thighs.
Switching on the Pay TV; I'm one for the ladies -
the ones you see on late night Danish Channel No. 5.

Putting on my dark glasses, in a vodka bar in Riga;
nylon-stockinged legs all wrapped around the chairs.
I've got on my dark glasses, watching money changing hands,
watching fat German businessmen conduct their night affairs.
Putting on my dark glasses, the ones with mirror shades,
You can't see into my soul, you can't see into my eyes.
Got on my dark glasses; I shun contact with real women -
they want to cut my bollocks off, to cut me down to size.
