Black and White film

from Stop! by Sanchez 77

/

lyrics

Men in hats, black and white
Screen sirens with different eyes
Don’t need sex to sell themselves
This is the place I’m trying to show you
Smoke in buildings, proper language
So much said in their silences
Do you get it? Do you understand?
This is the place I’m trying to show you

So slow, film flickering
Hear the words, are you listening?
Wrong pace, so demanding
Subtitles, understanding
Grey tones, eyes flickering
Where’s the world? Not listening
So I hide in a black and white film
I want to live in a black and white film

Basic things we’ve forgotten
New techniques that we’ve stolen
Looking for the perfect thing
This is the place I’m trying to show you
So lost in technology
All emotions are digitised
And all I want is something real
This is the place I’m trying to show you

So slow...

This is no good, your world’s no good for me
I never wanted to compare you
I never meant to compare you
