Lyrics Reel By Reel (Single Recording) - XTC
In
this
secret
time,
invading
on
our
privacy
Unknowing
we
mime,
we
play
for
the
ministry
They
can
film
you
in
bed
or
when
you
take
a
bath
They
can
tape
every
cry,
they
can
tape
every
laugh
They
can
turn
you
around
so
you
won′t
know
what's
Real
by
reel
Busy
little
bees
recording
everything
you
feel
On
real
by
reel
You′re
documented
down
like
rats
They're
catching
up
on
every
squeal
On
real
by
reel
by,
real
by
reel
by,
real
by
reel
by
In
this
hidden
time,
ignorance
may
help
you
to
cope
Rehearsing
for
crimes
and
sex
just
in
government
cinema
scope
They
can
film
you
at
work
or
when
they
let
you
play
They
can
tape
what
you
think
and
they
can
tape
what
you
say
They
can't
blur
your
I.D.
so
you
won′t
know
what′s
Real
by
reel
They're
busy
little
bees
recording
everything
you
feel
On
real
by
reel
You′re
documented
down
like
rats
They're
catching
up
on
every
squeal
On
real
by
reel
by,
real
by
reel
by,
real
by
reel
by
Now
I
lay
me
down
to
sleep
Knowing
that
your
lenses
peep
And
now
I
eat
my
daily
bread
And
into
the
tape
spool
I′ll
be
fed
They
can
film
you
in
bed
or
when
you
take
a
bath
They
can
tape
every
cry,
they
can
tape
every
laugh
They
can
turn
you
around
so
you
won't
know
what′s
Real
by
reel
They're
busy
little
bees
recording
everything
you
feel
On
real
by
reel
You're
documented
down
like
rats
They′re
catching
up
on
every
squeal
On
real
by
reel
by,
real
by
reel

real
by

Real
