XTC - Real by Reel lyrics

[XTC - Real by Reel lyrics]

In this secret time of
Invading on our privacy unknowing, we mime
We play for the ministry
They can film you in bed or
When you take a bath
They can tape every cry
They can tape every laugh
They can turn you around so
You won't know what's

Real by reel busy little bees
Recording everything you feel
On real by reel
You're documented down like rats
They're catching up on every squeal
On real by reel by real by
Reel by real by reel by

In this hidden time
Ignorance may help you to cope
Rehearsing for crime and sex


Just in government cinema-scope
They can film you at work or
When they let you play
They can tape what you think and
They can tape what you say
They can blur your ID so
You won't know what's

Real by reel they're busy little bees
Recording everything you feel
On real by reel
You're documented down like rats
They're catching up on every squeal
On real by reel by real by
Reel by real by reel by

Now I lay me down to sleep
Knowing that your lenses peep
And now, I eat my daily bread
And into the tape spool, I'll be fed

They can film you in bed or
When you take a bath
They can tape every cry
They can tape every laugh
They can turn you around so
You won't know what's

Real by reel they're busy little bees
Recording everything you feel
On real by reel
You're documented down like rats
They're catching up on every squeal
On real by reel by real by
Reel by real by reel by
Real by reel by real by
Reel by real by reel by
