Original songs from the mid to late 1970's. My first adventures in songwriting and performing. Good times
It exists therefore it am. They came from inner space and left no turn unstoned. The journey began and nothing was ever the same again (or during). Are you ready to cruise with the Spaceship Vicar?

Story behind the song
Overheard some conversations about TV habits and their effect on the brain. Thought 'I could write a song about that'. Why not make it a blues? Because I can and I did. So why don't you turn off this music and go watch TV instead? Or not.
Lyrics
Paranoia Skitzotellik Dreams Adrian J Pratt 1972 Watching colour telly gives you Paranoia Skitzotellik Dreams That really hurt your mind and make you feel bad Watching colour telly stings your eyes And nothings ever what it seems You stick your eyes to that flickering screen What you observe on the box Is like visual poxy resin Watching colour telly gives you Paranoia Skitzotellik Dreams Eating TV dinners can be disastrous for your dietary needs In terms of protein and in terms of calories Yes eating TV dinners is no way to cater for a dietary feed You like your food, now ain't that crude, but don't be rude TV dinners and television Make you hungry for something you really need. Well I don't mind watching films But I really can't abide the soaps I don't mind a good documentary But I cringe at some of those game shows Why they call it entertainment My friend that's something I will never know Watching colour telly gives you Paranoia Skitzotellik Dreams That really hurt your mind and make you feel bad Watching colour telly stings your eyes And nothings ever what it seems You stick your eyes to that flickering screen Why they call it entertainment That's something that's hard to believe Why they call it entertainment That's something that's hard to believe Why they call it entertainment That's something that's hard to believe Paranoia Skitzotellik Dreams
