about

This is a song about the desire for instant fame through the medium of programmes like the X Factor, Britain's Got Talent, etc that challenges the ethos of such competitions.

lyrics

I got a bad bad feeling
That this is just not real
Ahhh crashing thru that red light
This truck has lost its wheels

Way down in the church of the blind boy
One eye makes you king
No don't you walk that line boy
Cause they got you in

Lock down
Freeze frame
You got my number but not my name
So that's hot now?
For one night
All I gotta say is
Take me high take me higher

The next sensation sets the world on fire
Got the whole damn nation singing take me high take me higher
This invention’s gonna crash and burn
Singing hold on, hold on baby that's fine

Ohhhh it's a felony witnessed
And not a faceless crime
So disturbed and twisted
When you walk that line
Way down in the church of the blind boy
They got you caught in a

Lock down
Freeze frame
You got my number but not my name
So that's hot now?
For one night
All I gotta say is
Take me high take me high

 
The next sensation sets the world on fire
Got the whole damn nation singing take me high take me higher
This invention’s gonna crash and burn
Singing hold on, hold on baby

The next sensation sets the world on fire
Got the whole damn nation singing take me high take me higher
This invention’s gonna crash and burn
Singing hold on, hold on baby that’s fine

Take Me higher
Lift me higher
Take me higher

They got me caught in a
Lock down
For one night
All I gotta say is
Take me high
Take me higher

The next sensation sets the world on fire
Got the whole damn nation singing take me high take me higher
This invention’s gonna crash and burn
Singing hold on, hold on baby

The next sensation sets the world on fire
Got the whole damn nation singing take me high take me higher
This invention’s gonna crash and burn
Singing hold on, hold on baby that’s fine

Baby, that’s fine
Take me higher
Take me higher
Lift me higher
Take me higher
