Turn on the system if you wanna rebel _

Byte of the apple’ll send you down the magic well

I’ve seen your interface but it don’t ring a bell

HTML HTML, … what the Bloody CyberHell?

<HTML> … Only downloading time will tell

<HTML> … Is it the President or Harvey Keitel?

<HTML> … I’m cybersurfing and it’s all cyberswell

<HTML> <HTML> … it’s got me under a spell!

<HTML> … Click of a button and I’m out of my shell

<HTML> … It’s just a boy, a mouse and a girl

<HTML> … Communicating on a binary level

<HTML><HTML> … Hey yeah! What a cyber place to dwell

<HTML> … I got a feeling and an eye for detail

<HTML> … RAM to the ceiling and a virus sentinel

<HTML> … No legal software, only piracy wholesale

<HTML> <HTML> … In in my cyber citadel

<HTML> … Chip on my shoulder, nametag on my lapel

<HTML> … A multimedianaire with nothing to sell

<HTML> … On the information superhighway to hell

<HTML> <HTML> … I got a loyal clientele

<HTML> … I got a Homepage and a need to Excel

<HTML> … It’s cyberdelic and so cyber-spirituelle

<HTML> … It’s interactive and it jumps like a gazelle

<HTML> <HTML> … Messieur & Mademoiselle!

<HTML> … I’m cybertripping in my cyberhotel

<HTML> … I’m cyberfreaking but nobody can tell

<HTML> … I’m happy sitting here all by myself

<HTML> <HTML> … I need another muscatel!

We’re all caught in the net … I bet!

We’re all caught in the net …

And like everyone else I’m just trying to connect

Like everyone else I’m just trying to connect

Like everyone I’ve met …

Just trying to connect …

(virtual air guitar solo …)

Don’t need a teacher if you wanna misspel

Don’t need no preacher if you’re gonna unveil

Don’t need no doctor if you’re feeling unwell

HTML, HTML… just buy another chattel!

<HTML> … I got a hunger and a thirst I can’t quell

<HTML> … I’m scared to look inside in case it ain’t Intel

<HTML> … It doesn’t matter if you reek of Chanel

<HTML> <HTML> … who cares about the way you smell?

<HTML> … I went window-browsing and I tripped down and fell

<HTML> … I picked myself up from the bottom of a wishing well

<HTML> … I sent an email out to Papa Noel

<HTML><HTML> … “Let There Be Peace In Israel”

<HTML> … I got a homepage and a brand new Caravelle

<HTML> … It’s server-logically refreshing as well

<HTML> … It’s interactive and it’s written in Braille

<HTML> <HTML> … just like a cyber-cocktail

<HTML> … I’m cybertripping in my cyberhotel

<HTML> … I’m cyberfreaking but nobody can tell

<HTML> … I’m happy sitting here all by myself

<HTML> <HTML> … just like a Scarlet Pimpernel

<HTML> … Analog prisoner in a digital cell

<HTML> … Serial port killer hacked to bits in parallel

<HTML> … Get with the program if you want to prevail

<HTML> <HTML> … Oooh … I’m drinking silicon gel!

<HTML> … I got a website and a loyal clientele

<HTML> … They ask about my wife in graphic detail

<HTML> … I show them pictures of my darling Isabelle

<HTML> <HTML> … Or is it Lisa Michelle?

We’re all caught in the net … I bet!

We’re all caught in the net …

And like everyone else I’m just trying to connect

Like everyone else … just trying to connect

Like everyone I’ve met …

I’m just trying to forget …

Oh yeah … I’m caught in the net!

Here …

Oh yeah …

Oh yeah … interactive!

And it’s so …

So demodulating …

More, so much more demodulating …

Oh yeah it’s all so alienating …

It’s interactively … cyberactively … isolating!

Oh but so …

So invigorating …

So exhilarating!

Here’s To My Love … baby! (repeat till fade)

Okay … so the song’s a little bit “out there” – a love song about the Internet.

<HTML> was a demo song that I wrote for a “pop song” competition many years ago. I recorded it on a 4-track in my bedroom, my wife added backing vocals, and I then sent the tape off to the competition judges inside a fluorescent orange cassette cover …
