"Dream Home In NZ" lyrics - THE BEAT

THE BEAT
"Dream Home In NZ"
(The English Beat)

It's a must, it's compulsive
It is family entertainment
Play americans and russians
Find a place to hide your poison
Beat the others round the head
Beat the others round the table
Be the first to take the money
Past the point of desperation

Living on pins but I will try it all the same, eh
Be extra careful when you're answering the questions
Living on promises of fortune and fame
You could win a car or a dream home in N.Z.

You say you're unhappy
And you've taken all these tablets
Just turn on the television
I'll be over in a minute
Try and wait if you can
To catch a brand new program
"Americans and russians"
Find a place to hide their poison

Prize of a lifetime never get this chance again.
You mind your words when you're answering their questions
Save precious moments cortina-ing the fast lane
Seven extra minutes in your dream home in N.Z.

It's a must, compulsive family entertainment
Everybody's in the bunker, everybody's getting pushy
Beat the others round the head
Beat the others to the button
Feel your habit of obedience
Must surely count for something.

Terible risk but I will take it all the same
You mind your manners when you're answering their questions
Now could you tell me what's the most I stand to gain, eh?
Seven hours of heaven in your dream home in N.Z.
New Zealand.
