Auf Wiedersehen, Real Life (That’s Livin Online)

I used to love the TV show, ‘Auf Wiedersehen, Pet’, and the brilliant theme tune, ‘That’s Livin Alright’ by Joe Fagin.

I wrote an alternative set of lyrics, with the theme being a tongue-in-cheek look at how the online world can suck us in.

Enjoy!

Browsing on the sites
All morning, all night
That’s livin online
(That’s livin online)

Then a pint sat at home
Drinkin all alone
That’s livin online
(That’s livin online)

Surfin all day
While the company pays
Then blow off work and play on Fortnite

Never kissed a dame
So it’s Pornhub again
That’s livin online

Never see the sun
Insta filter, job done
That’s livin online
(That’s livin online)

Can’t be arsed with the town
Real life gets me down
That’s livin online
(That’s livin online)

Wastin the day
On Facebook again
Then rabbit ears out on Snapchat

Still you couldn’t care less
Can’t be arsed to get dressed
That’s livin online

Yeah you play the game
Till you top the Hall of Fame
That’s livin online

If you don’t win you’ll cry
Need your fix to get by
It’s gonna be another long night

Never kissed a dame
So it’s Pornhub again
That’s livin online

If you don’t play the game
Then what else remains?
That’s livin online

Soundtrack:
That’s Livin Alright – Joe Fagin
