grrrrrrr8 - but could someone please put up the words??? Can't find them on the net and my ears hear some weird stuff - which could be right but maybe not.......... to find that my look had gone mentally insane.????

@suegwent

Oh the good anarchist, she believed in everyone

So the good anarchist put her faith in her favourite band

So the good anarchist booked a ticket took a plane

To find out that her love had gone mentally insane

[additional verse on album version, by Dan Treacy]

So the good anarchist he didn't know right from wrong

All he knew was his beer his old guitar and songs

And they took him away time and time again

Now the whole world it knows he's gone mentally insane....again...

[eggwithlegs]

if you buy the vinyl you'd see that the other side is T.v personalities as people now them... think this is great peronality writing.

[MartaBtrp]

[EndlessNot1]

Behind you! ;-)

[SimplyShadow]

[EndlessNot1]

where's Daniel Treacy....he must've had a sex change!!

[stickymoan]

@EndlessNot1

The first TVP's song where Dan doesn't sing. Though he does on the album version. Album 'A Memory Is Better Than Nothing'.

[EndlessNot1]

@stickymoan Thanx "Stickymoan" for straightening everyone out, it is THE Television Personalities"....the video and girlie voices threw me off a wee bit

[xiuxiu12]

ack, i was so surpriiiiiiiiised, not the real tv people

[stickymoan]

@xiuxiu12

Wrong.

[LilyOpmac]

Not television personalities, this isn't the original band change the name! I like the atmosphere though, like moon and water but with a cheap beer hangover. Or natural I could go either way really.

[stickymoan]

@LilyOpmac

It is THE Television Personalities. main man Dan Treacy on guitar, Mike Stone on Hammond organ and Johanna Lundstrom on vocals.

[LilyOpmac]

@stickymoan Really? it doesn't look like Dan Treacy, and what kind of guitar is that?In fact all of the instruments seem a bit oddly paired but I like the song and its title. It makes me giggle the title that is. Thanks for the info.

[stickymoan]

@LilyOpmac

The girl blowing bubbles is Dan Treacy....the operation was a complete success! ;-) Instrumentation on the recording:

Dan: Guitar (+ vocals, effects & glockenspiel on album version)

Mike: Hammond organ

Johanna: Lead vocal

This video was made by our good friends from Athens, The Callas. Check out their other vidoes.

[GParasmo]

Why they have the same name as the original Television Personalities?

[EndlessNot1]

@GParasmo good question

[stickymoan]

@GParasmo

Cos' it is the original Television Personalities i.e. Dan Treacy

[GParasmo]

@stickymoan Ahhhh! I was confuse about it. Thank you!
