He Watches At All Lyrics - Boomtown Rats

He bought and sold a video 

Made a fortunein between 

A thousand well-known faces 

Passed across that stupid screen 

He turned them down 

He never thought they had so much to say 

He watched those faces come and go 

Up close 

He saw the strain 

And he watches it all 

Yes he watches it all 

Someone broke into his house last night 

It's strange they didn't take a thing 

Someone broke into his house last night 

But still it feels like they took everything 

Home is where the head is 

Home is where the demons all come out to play 

Home is where you hide yourself at night 

And home is where you feel safe 

And still he watches it all 

He watches it all 

And it's small 

It all seems small 

Did you read it in the Sunday paper? 

The headline called him the 'Sailors Deacon' 

He fell in love with the lighthouse keeper 

Spends his time bringing home the beacon 

Huh 

He bought and sold a video 

Made a fortune in between
