Lyrics
on 1950s BBC TV
between the scheduled programs you could see
some interludes to keep you entertained
before your favourite show came on again
a shepherd tends his flock upon a hill
the gentle turning of an old windmill
and as i watch the spinning wheel turn round
i realise the connection i have found
it seems to me they haven't gone away
and we still have that sort of thing today
but now it's not revolving potter's wheels
it's instagram and facebook bloody reels
with resin turning filling up my feed
and dashcam footage revving up the speed
like london-brighton 4 minute time lapse
a baker kneading dough to perfect wraps
they once had weavers weaving at the loom
it's now revealing sleeves of your tattoo
where once they showed a country ploughing scene
they clear the drive and pressure wash the green
from blacksmiths forging iron as their trade
to barbers demonstrating a skin fade
i guess we all just like to sit and chill
and watch that stuff when we've got time to kill
between the scheduled programs you could see
some interludes to keep you entertained
before your favourite show came on again
a shepherd tends his flock upon a hill
the gentle turning of an old windmill
and as i watch the spinning wheel turn round
i realise the connection i have found
it seems to me they haven't gone away
and we still have that sort of thing today
but now it's not revolving potter's wheels
it's instagram and facebook bloody reels
with resin turning filling up my feed
and dashcam footage revving up the speed
like london-brighton 4 minute time lapse
a baker kneading dough to perfect wraps
they once had weavers weaving at the loom
it's now revealing sleeves of your tattoo
where once they showed a country ploughing scene
they clear the drive and pressure wash the green
from blacksmiths forging iron as their trade
to barbers demonstrating a skin fade
i guess we all just like to sit and chill
and watch that stuff when we've got time to kill
