Laurie Anderson - Talkshow lyrics
[Laurie Anderson - Talkshow lyrics]
During the newspaper strike
The networks asked the writers to read
Their columns on TV the
Writers weren't actors
They did all the wrong
Things they squinted into the lights
Wore rumpled! clothes and used BIG WORDS
The signs for the deaf
Were getting more and "more" obscure
With lots of qualifying
(phrases) and uh awkward pauses so
The producers kept saying:
OK! Buzz words only! Two syllabus
Tops!
Earshot talkshow Uplink Update Phaselock
Downtime Hotline Aftermath Upshot
Dropout Nosecone Headset Hotshot
Heatwave Domehead Flashback Feedback
