about

[Wilkes, 1990] recorded at Pearl Studios, London Road, Liverpool by Steve Cowell

lyrics

Into the display arena steps a vacuum cleaner
Encased in glass and so dust free
Like it was never designed to be
here in this living space objects are out of place
Out of time and then Shazam
The magic and the sure I am

She's all round the corners and waiting in the wings
Another name to play the game now what is it she brings
She's all around the houses with some future generation
Its such a change from yesterday but it only seems like yesterday

Want a blast want a hit
Want a different kind of fit
Want the first in the queue

You want the shock of the new

She so well hidden now but it won't take long
When she shows these moments will be dated
Its history well more or less
Its a picture but its such a mess

And she knows the game is over
And she knows she doesn't care
It takes much more than facts and fate
To driver her to despair

Want a bet want a heart
Want a world thats worlds apart
Want that face with a view

This is shock of the new

Into the display arena steps a vacuum cleaner
Encased in glass and so dust free
Like it was never designed to be
here in this living space objects are out of place
Out of time and then Shazam
The magic and the sure I am
