just like they do it on tv by benjamin oliver

you said that you must be in heaven
that i looked just like charlene
love is not like channel seven
but i didn’t know it at nineteen

my replacement has been hired
cast in a role you wrote for me
to give you everything that you desired
just like they do it on tv

i was something that you flaunted
cause i reflected well on you
i was everything you wanted
until i wasn’t twenty two

may she be forever bridal
may she never show her age
may you never catch her idle
may she never know your rage
with the practice, you’ll be better
all rehearsal for the part
when you planned this to the letter
did you always plan to break my heart?

does she know the house is haunted?
that you built it all for me
out in wantirna like we always wanted
just like they do it on tv
