Track down a satellite, beam in the action, life lies bleeding live in your living room, our senses on remote control overkill and overload. From Lockerbie to Lebanon's getting closer every day Hollywood to Hungerford's an impression away. I like to watch implausible pledges of polite politicians. I like to watch them even more than my video nasties. I like to watch. The bleeding of a bimbo, a backstabbing beauty queen titillating tabloids trigger off a wet dream into action a fatal attraction, private lives are up for auction. A cupboard full of skeletons are coming out to play. I like to watch disasters in replay and rerun in slo mo. I like to watch on the spot interviews kicking in front doors. I like to watch. To watch as my face is reflected in blank tv screens the programmes are over, I like to pretend that that's me up there making headlines, camera closeups catching my right side I don't care if it's only a moment as long as it's peaktime, just as long as all of my friends and family see me, the world will know my name - Come on down I like to watch psychologists speculate, analysts analise. I like to watch my methods and motives, the topic of talk shows. I like to watch. Switch off, turn on.
