about

We have become immersed in the digital age which involves lots of numbers and characters to represent us. We should not lose our human qualities.

lyrics

Binary World

I wrote this song November ten you know
1110 - 1110
I look at my clock it is ten past one
0110 - 0110

ABCDEFGHI
am not a number, just a simple guy

BCDEFGHIJ
I watch the world get slowly blown away
123456789
There must be another way I can bide my time
- in a binary world

I was born December ‘69
06121969
National Insurance is for me
N S 5 4 6 2 0 2 C

ABCDEFGHI
am not a number, just a simple guy

Red and Orange and Yellow and Purple and Blue
I sing a rainbow can you sing it too?
Red and Orange and Yellow and Purple and Blue
Isn’t there anything else for us to do
- in a binary world

Seems to me we’ve lost all sense of direction
Need a little intervention
To help us find our way
Seems to me we’ve lost all sense of proportion
Too much life distortion
There’s just got to be a way
There’s just got to be a way....


120 bpm is the score
who could ever really ask for more?

I want my MTV I want my fax machine I want my internet I want my Play station
I want my DVD I want my mobile phone I want to be me

I want my digital TV I want my pension plan I want my action man I want my MTV
I want to be me
