Family Snapshot Lyrics

Family Snapshot lyrics

The streets are lined with camera crews

 Everywhere he goes is news

 Today is different

 Today is not the same

 Today I make the action

 Take snapshot into the light, snapshot into the light

 I'm shooting into the light

 

 Four miles down the cavalcade moves on

 Driving into the sun

 If I worked it out right

 They won't see me or the gun

 

 Two miles to go, they're clearing the road

 The cheering has really begun

 I've got my radio

 I can hear what's going on

 

 I've been waiting for this

 I have been waiting for this

 All you people in TV land

 I will wake up your empty shells

 Peak-time viewing blown in a flash

 As I burn into your memory cells

 'Cos I'm alive

 

 They're coming 'round the corner with the bikers at the front

 I'm wiping the sweat from my eyes

 -It's a matter of time

 -It's a matter of will

 And the governor's car is not far behind

 He's not the one I've got in mind

 'Cos there he is-the man of the hour, standing in the limousine

 "I don't really hate you

 -I don't care what you do

 We were made for each other

 -Me and you

 I want to be somebody

 -You were like that too

 If you don't get given you learn to take

 And I will take you."

 

 Holding my breath

 Release the catch

 And I let the bullet fly

 

 All turned quiet-I have been here before

 Lonely boy hiding behind the front door

 Friends have all gone home

 There's my toy gun on the floor

 Come back Mum and Dad

 You're growing apart

 You know that I'm growing up sad

 I need some attention

 I shoot into the light
