This Is Not A Television Show

from The Guilty & The Innocent by Andy White

/

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    A deluxe limited edition album on 180g vinyl, with inner sleeve including lyrics.

    Andy says "The album was written as a vinyl LP, the way the early albums were. Five songs a side, each one saying something strong. We later put out a CD with two extra tracks (you'll get them in the download), but this is the real line-up in my head." Warning - contains references to actual events.

    Includes unlimited streaming of The Guilty & The Innocent via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
    ships out within 4 days

      £20 GBP or more 

     

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    The CD comes in a gatefold sleeve with lyrics book, and includes two bonus tracks not on the LP. Warning - contains references to actual events ;-)

lyrics

A lying Long Island gangland fence
he got a direct line to the President
he’s talking cocks and blocks and impediments
to the criminal intent of the government

This is not a television show

Imaginary make-up and suits and ties
and carefully tailored professional lies
and everybody groans ’cause everybody knows
the dry-cleaning bill of the emperor shows

This is not a television show

The tower burned down in record time
we don’t know how many died from red-tape crime
and the crowds in the street paint another sign
saying HEAR US NOW AND THEN RESIGN

This is not a television show

England’s dreaming all got lost
on a white background with a big red cross
it looked in the mirror and it looked back alone
there’s a pint pot balanced upon the throne

This is not a television show

Comedy dictators come and go
their families die and their armaments grow
take a deep breath as the missiles blow
into the plastic ocean down below

This is not a television show

Board game graphics of refugees
shift numbers from countries of human beings
look into their eyes and tell me they’re not you and me

This is not a television show

So look here son I’m saying to you
you’ve got to do the very best that you can do
I never told you things would be this tough
I never told you these things
while you were growing up
I showed you some things
I hope I showed you enough to know

This is not a television show
