This Angry Silence (02:39)
Television Personalities • ...And Don't the Kids Just Love It
I hear my father shouting at my mother
In the room next door
He's always threatening to pack his bags
'Cause he can't take it anymore
And my brother's anorexic
But no one seems to care about the state he's in
And my sister's in a club, she's a barmaid in a pub
And my mother's full of gin

Can you hear this angry silence?

I spend the days on my own
Writing silly poetry


Writing poems for the girl I love
But she doesn't love me
And I'm scared to go out at night
It's not safe on the streets
And it's hard to disagree in today's society
You can't trust anyone you meet

Can you hear this angry silence?

Listen, listen, listen... this angry silence

The Glittering Prizes (03:01)
Television Personalities • ...And Don't the Kids Just Love It
In the past I always tried
I never got amongst the glittering prizes
I put it down to confidence
Or something trendy
Like an emotional complex

Thinking to myself that I've got something to prove
Waiting for the chance to accept my point of view
Pretty soon you will recognise me
Glittering prizes for me
Glittering prizes for me



I wear a clean shirt every day
I quite enjoy my job as an office boy
The novelty begins to fade
I never get the chance
To play with executive toys

Thinking to myself that I've got something to prove
Waiting for the chance to accept my point of view
Pretty soon you won't recognise me
Glittering prizes for me
Glittering prizes for me

Silly Girl (02:49)
Television Personalities • ...And Don't the Kids Just Love It
Silly girl, wasn't you a silly girl?
Silly girl, what have you done now?

You ran away on a train to Crewe
Such a silly thing to do
Your parents are worried about you
Time you changed your attitude

Silly girl, wasn't you a silly girl?
Silly girl, what have you done now?


I'm sitting alone in a quiet room
Trying to write a letter to you
It's only me who understands
Girl I'll always hold yor hand

Silly girl, wasn't you a silly girl?
Silly girl, what have you done now?

Geoffrey Ingram (02:15)
Television Personalities • ...And Don't the Kids Just Love It
Geoffrey's got a nice new suit, he bought it yesterday
Ten pounds in an Oxfam shop near Hammersmith Broadway
All the kids admire him, Geoffrey is the face
Geoffrey is that kind of guy
Who always gets away with that sort of things

Geoffrey shops at Safeways, it's got everything he wants
He fills up his pockets with baked beans and blancmange
And all the girls at the tills smile at Geoffrey
He's that kind of guy
Who gets away with that sort of things



Just like Geoffrey Ingram
Geoffrey always gets home as it starts to rain

Me an Geoff got to a Jam gig, we got there too late
The Marquee was sold out and it was only five past eight
But Geoffrey got us on the guest list please don't ask me how
Geoffrey is that kind of guy
Who always gets away with that sort of things

Geoffrey gets away with that sort of things

I Know Where Syd Barrett Lives (02:34)
Television Personalities • ...And Don't the Kids Just Love It
There's a little man in a little house
With a little pet dog and a little pet mouse
I know where he lives and I visit him
We have sunday tea, sausages and beans
I know where he lives
Cause I know where Syd Barrett lives

He was very famous once upon a time
But no one knows even if he's alive
But I know where he lives and I visit him
In a little hut in Cambridge
I know where he lives


Cause I know where Syd Barrett lives

And the trees and the flowers are so pretty, aren't they?

He was very famous once upon a time
And no one cares even if he's alive (we do)
But I know where he lives and I visit him
In a little hut by the edge of the wood

Oh shut up!

Jackanory Stories (03:04)
Television Personalities • ...And Don't the Kids Just Love It
Jackanory stories, settle down and we'll begin
Now we're up to page nineteen and it looks like the indians will win
But just like life there's a good beginning but there is no middle
So you may as well skip to the end
It's the same old story
And I've heard that story a thousand times before

Read a book at bedtime to help you off to sleep
I've found I get the same effect from fixing on reality
It's just like life there's a good beginning but there is no middle
So you may as well skip to the end

It's the same old story
And I've heard that story a thousand times before

Sit amongst the bowler hats and make your crossword last
Travel intercity, get nowhere twice as fast
Just like life there's a good beginning but there is no middle
So you may as well skip to the end
It's the same old story
And I've heard that story a thousand times before

La Grande Illusion (03:33)
Television Personalities • ...And Don't the Kids Just Love It
I know a girl who's very sad, she lives on her own
Looking from an open window, looking up to the sky
The girl's got tears in her eyes, she's looking very sad
When that girl looks sad I feel also bad

I just don't know what to do
The girl's got tears in her eyes

She always falls for his tricks, thinks that she's in love
But she's not in love at all, she doesn't realize
So the girl's got tears in her eyes and she's always looking sad
And why she looks so sad I'm trying to understand

I just don't know what to do
The girl's got tears in her eyes

La grande illusion


I just don't know what to do
The girl's got tears in her eyes

Monday she was so upset
Tuesday she was blue
Wednesday I telephoned her
Thursday, didn't know what to do
(Friday) so I telephoned again
(Saturday) (Sunday) but her mother said she was gone

I just don't know what to do
The girl's got tears in her eyes

La grande illusion

A Picture of Dorian Gray (02:13)
Television Personalities • ...And Don't the Kids Just Love It
When I'll buy my mansion I'll invite the world to stay
So everyone can see a picture of Dorian Gray
We'll sit by the river drinking lemon tea
And there's a thousand midget russians in midget submarines

You can come and stay
You can bring your friends
You can come and stay for a day
And see a picture of Dorian Gray



Take you to my mansion, can see my gallery
Lots of pretty pictures, all of them of me
We'll sit by the river drinking lemon tea
Eat tiny cucumber sandwiches made by Emily

You can come and stay
You can bring your friends
You can come and stay for a day
And see a picture of Dorian Gray

Look Back in Anger (02:39)
Television Personalities • ...And Don't the Kids Just Love It
I said some things I shouldn't have said
Should have kept them to myself instead
I was wrong, I admit I was wrong

I'm very sorry when I look back at you
I was wrong, I made you cry
But isn't that what you want to hear?
I look back in anger, I look back at you
I look back in anger at you

I did some things you thought weren't good


Not quite the way you thought I should
I listened to your advice
Did what you said, never thought twice

I'm very sorry when I look back at you
I was wrong, I made you cry
Isn't that what you want to hear?
I look back in anger, I look back at you
I look back in anger at you
All the things you do
