I dial a number on the telephone
An answering machine says ‘there’s no-one home’
I’m just standing talking down the line
To a gadget -You ain’t a friend of mine

You’re gonna need a new toy everyday
Increased leisure time takes your life away

Escalators take me round this town
Electric lifts take you up and down
I’m gonna be awake forever more
Nothing left to sleep for

You’re gonna need a new toy everyday
Increased leisure time takes your life away

Ok Lets Get Technical...

I'll play a record and I'll play a cassette
TV tennis game gonna make me forget
Talk about things but lets not pretend
Anything lasts when the battery ends

You’re gonna need a new toy everyday
Increased leisure time takes your life away

And then its:
Silence - Silence - Silence - Silence - Silence - Silence - Silence - Silence
