Lyrics to Remote Control

Lyrics to the song Remote Control as recorded by Phil Manzanera.

REMOTE CONTROL    Words & Music By Ian MacCormick    Want to know a secret  Most people are that bad  Compassion leads to many lies  And trying to apply it  Will just drive you mad  It's only destiny calling  With the usual show  Get out while you've got time  Make up your heart  And find the kind of folk  Who really love  You want to know how to tell them apart   You want to know how to feel in your heart   Too bad for you  That they don't do  A 5 day course in caring  You could play the part  You're still searching for the ones  Who were near  You're still itching for that great panacea   But first you got to be alone  And think what kept your friends  Contented all those years    Something about their eyes  I thought you couid tell by now  Remote control  Off and jump now  Remote control  Pull out the wires    Something about their eyes  I thought you couid tell by now  Remote control  Off and jump now  Remote control  Pull out the wires  Remote control  Remote control  Remote control  Remote control  Remote control  Remote control
