Lyrics
Satellite's gone
Up to the skies
Things like that drive me
Out of my mind
I watched it for a little while
I like to watch things on TV
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of
Satellite's gone
Way up to Mars
Soon it will be filled
With parking cars
I watch it for a little while
I love to watch things on TV
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of
I've been told that you've been bold
With Harry, Mark and John
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday to Thursday
With Harry, Mark and John
Satellite's gone
Up to the skies
Things like that drive me
Out of my mind
I watched it for a little while
I love to watch things on TV
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
