Electricity Lyrics
The ultimate discovery
Electric blue for me
Never more to be free
Electricity
Nuclear and HEP
Carbon fuels from the sea
Wasted electricity
Our one source of energy
Electricity
All we need to live today
A gift for man to throw away
The chance to change has nearly gone
The alternative is only one
The final source of energy
Solar electricity
Electricity Electricity Electricity Electricity Electricity
E . . .
A statement on energy crises, no less.
Fantastic song, I have loved it for 20 years, but interestingly, for Australia, it could be totally true, what with climate change and peak oil.
The Chance to Change has nearly gone!
the lyrics don't fit with the song, but it all still fits :)
@isayiceage but why does he say Never more to be free ?

cocaine or crank? lol
If this was a They Might Be Giants song, we would take the lyrics at face value and conclude it's simply a song about ... Electricity! No deeper hidden meaning, no ulterior motive. Just a bit of fun talking about the movement of electrons. Why should OMD be held to a different standard? Unless there's a verified statement from OMD to the opposite, I say this song is nothing more than a simple song about electricity. (For what it's worth, I can totally envision a TMBG song with these exact lyrics.)
"Just a bit of fun talking about the movement of electrons." LOL...you sound like my gifted child who's definitely wired differently. OK, Sheldon, we'll take your word on the interpretation, but "fun"????

"Electricity All we need to live today A gift for man to throw away" I think the song is about our tendency to take life (energy) for granted. I try not to read too far into it, but based on this line and the tone of the song, he sounds a little bitter so it sort of makes sense.

A fantastic song, I first heard this before I even knew it was them at a fairground, they played the song to these puppets dancing, in a box, & I loved the song at first hearing, then when I got home it was on the radio, that's when I found out it was omd, I've been hooked ever since!
Never more to be free ? Why say so ?
