Voice moaning in a speaker
Never really get too close
Only a gimmick, pointed fingers
Never more serious sight
Wouldn't waste the effort on entertainment
Out of control, mob running wild
All you ever get is all you steal
Side of London that the tourists never see
Angle ambiance

Chant

Don't know why I bother
There's nothing in it for me
The more I see the less I get
The likes of you and me are an embarrassment

Chant

It's not important
It's not worth a mention in the Guardian
Every librarian has its theory
Chant chant angle ambiance

Chant

Chant

    Metal Box contains so much 'voice moaning in a speaker' with even more of the 'gimmick pointed finger'. Of course the album's praised more than God, but that doesn't make it so ~ ie: Madonna is considered a brilliant artiste
