A tight, guitar-driven post-punk track featuring a wild saxophone solo and outro. Musical comparisons include The Fall, The Buzzcocks and Blur. Lyrically the song references out of date technology (such as DVD players etc) as metaphors for feelings of disorientation and disconnection.

Lyrics:

Plug me in, I’m a DVD player
Fast forward to the action like a soothsayer
Skip the formalities and skip the trailers
Waiting for the weekend to come again

[Chorus]
The screen flickers
I feel alive and then
I get the jitters
And fade to black again

Call to action it’s the final days of Nero
Well if it’s true then we don’t need another hero
Forget the past, it’s another day to broadcast
Don’t turn it off of your DAB radio

[Chorus]

Sick and tired of sticking to the regimen
Sticking flyers in the local launderette again
What’s the time? Is it AM? Is it PM?
The screen flickers and then it fades to black again

[Chorus]
[Chorus]
