Advert

By: Blur
From: Modern Life Is Rubbish



(sampled voice: Food processors are great!)

It's six o'clock on the dot and I'm half way home
I feel foul-mouthed as I stand and wait for the underground
And a nervous disposition doesn't agree with this
I need something to remind me that there's something else

You need a holiday somewhere in the sun
With all the people who are waiting, there never seems to be one
Say something, say something else
Say something, say something else

Advertisements are here for rapid persuasion
If you stare too long you lose your appetite
And a nervous disposition doesn't agree with this
You need fast relief from aches and stomach pains

I need a holiday somewhere in the sun
With all the people who are waiting, there never seems to be one
Say something, say something else
Say something, say something else

One... two... three... four...
Five... six... seven... eight...
Nine... ten... eleven... twelve...
Thirteen... fourteen... fifteen... sixteen...

(shopping channel-style ad lib)

You need a holiday somewhere in the sun
With all the people who are waiting, there never seems to be one
Say something, say something else, go on
Say something, say something else
Say something, say something else
Say something, say something else
