The local factory's been pulled down
|
By an overseas corporation
|
Now all of my brothers are looking around
|
For alternative occupation
|
|
I was sitting by the telly with my brother, Kenny
|
When suddenly the penny dropped
|
While all of my brothers are sitting at home
|
I've got a bank loan and I've opened up my very own
|
Video shop
|
Video shop
|
|
At the video shop
|
I can fly, fly you away
|
|
Comedy and tragedy are all sitting on my shelf
|
And if you've got a fantasy
|
For a small rental fee
|
You can set yourself free
|
At my video shop
|
At my video shop
|
At the video shop
|
|
I can fly, fly you away
|
At the video shop
|
Let me fly, fly you away
|
From all of the depression in you head
|
Caused by all the living in the red
|
|
I've got a bootleg version of Citizen Kane
|
A second hand copy of Psycho
|
I've taped them off the telly so you shouldn't complain
|
And there's no guarantee you'll get your money back again
|
From my video shop
|
My video shop
|
|
If you want to escape, I can rent you a tape
|
To relieve your situation
|
If you feel a bit low, I got a good peep show
|
'Cos everybody knows almost anything goes
|
At my video shop
|
At my video shop
|
|
One fifty a day and I'll fly, fly you away
|
It's nothing to pay to fly far, far away
|
I can help you through that lonely night
|
I've got Technicolour, black and white
|
I can guide you through those empty days
|
Make you smile and take your blues away
|
|
O let me fly you away
|
At my video shop
|
Fly, fly you away
|
|
Another factory's been knocked down
|
But nobody ever complains
|
And all of my brothers are customers now
|
We all play video games
|
I can see it in the eyes of all the lonely wives
|
If they're bored and they feel like a change
|
I do sales, rentals, even a swop
|
And if you feel like a change, well it can all be arranged
|
At my video shop
|
At my video shop
|
At my video shop
|
|
At my video shop
|
Let me fly, fly you away
|
|
And everyone who walks in through that door
|
Has got something that they're looking for
|
At my video shop
|
At my video shop
|
At the video shop
|
I can fly, fly you away
|
|
At the video shop
|
Let me fly, fly you away
|
Oh, at the video shop
|
|
Oh, at the video shop
|
Oh, at the video shop
|
