Juweeltjes van muziek maakt deze man en ik ben zo blij dat ik de hele remastered collection volledig heb nu. Dit nummer is ook weer zo herkenbaar zeker als je, zoals wij, de hele dag geconfronteerd wordt met nieuws, slecht nieuws, ongevallen, dodelijke ongevallen, afschrikwekkende niet geblurde foto’s. Dan wil je ’s avonds niet nog meer nieuws en wil je het liefst je ogen sluiten voor alle ellende in de wereld.
Tekst:
While I sit here trying to think of things to say
Someone lies bleeding in a field somewhere
So it would seem we’ve still got a long long way to go
I’ve seen all I wanna see today
While I sit here trying to move you anyway I can
Someone’s son lies dead in a gutter somewhere
And it would seem that we’ve got a long long way to go
But I can’t take it anymore
Turn it off if you want to
Switch it off it will go away
Turn it off if you want to
Switch it off or look away
While I sit and we talk and talk and we talk some more
Someone’s loved one’s heart stops beating in a street somewhere
So it would seem we’ve still got a long long way to go, I know
I’ve heard all I wanna hear today
Turn it off if you want to (turn it off if you want to)
Switch it off it will go away (switch it off it will go away)
Turn it off if you want to (turn it off if you want to)
Switch it off or look away (switch it off or look away)
Switch it off
Turn it off
