about

There was a plan many (many) years ago to perform Wire’s Pink Flag in full because who wouldn’t want to do that? Well, we never got around to it, but we did record “Ex-Lion Tamer” for some good friends in Brazil (included on a compilation by The Blog that Celebrates Itself.)

lyrics

There's great danger (danger)
For the loneliest ranger in town
No silver bullets (bullets)
Tonto's split the scene

Next week will solve your problems
But now
Fish-fingers all in a line
The milk bottles stand empty
Stay glued to your TV set


There's great danger (danger)
At hand, most caped crusader of all
No cloak of justice (justice)
Robin's quit the scene

Next week will solve your problems
But now
Fish-fingers all in a line
The milk bottles stand empty

Stay glued to your TV set
(TV)
Stay glued to your TV set
(TV) oh, ho-ho
Stay glued to your TV set
(TV)

stay glued to your TV set
(TV) oh, ho-ho
Stay glued to your TV set
Oh, (TV) oh, oh-ho

stay glued to your TV set
Oh, (TV) why don't ya, don't ya, don't ya?
Stay glued to your TV set
(TV)
stay glued to your TV set
Oh, (TV) why don't ya, don't ya, don't ya?
