> And what was your point?

This song don't have a video
So you'll just have to listen
Focus on the audio,
The visual is missin',
"How am I gonna get it"
Is probably what you're thinking
Your ears aren't tuned for singing
Without watching lip synching

This song don't have a video,
You'll have to pay attention.
To how the melody might go -
And the lyrics I might mention.
I know you need distraction,
or else you tend to fidget -
When there's no cleavage footage,
And not one single midget.

This song don't have a video,
Use your imagination !
Forget about the radio,
They won't play it on the station...
They're not sure you can grasp it,
They don't give you much credit,
If you can't see it, you don't hear it,
So you never get it !

This song don't have a video,
I know your ear I'm bending -
It's taken seriously though,
They're only just pretending !
Don't forget to remember that,
That's all that I'm saying -
When watching people faking,
Their singing and their playing.

- from Loudon Wainwright III, "Therapy" (October 1988), BMG/Silvertone
