There's no substitute for personal interaction
in a relationship
especially with friends
No social networking, cell phone, text, email
wink, nudge, poke or like
will make anyone feel
or be filled,
with the joy
and happiness that comes
from spending time with a friend

Had a chillaxin' great time,
just hanging, talking,
having fun this weekend
I've come to realise there is no substitute
in this technological world
for human interaction
its what we're programmed for
our minds, our hearts
our souls
I like this song by James,
especially the lyric, about calling up
on the telly, and getting "the machine".

What Tim Booth's Lyrics are saying is
Don't hole up and isolate yourself,
when the human touch is what you need.

Out to get you - James, from "Laid"
I'm so alone tonight
My bed feels larger than when I was small
Lost in memories, lost in all the sheets and all old pillows
So alone tonight, miss you more than I will let you know
Miss the outline of your back, miss you breathing down my neck
All out to get you, once again, they're all out to get you, once again
Insecure, what ya gonna do
Feel so small, they could step on you
Called you up, answer machine, when the human touch
Is what I need, what I need is you, I need you
Looked in the mirror, I don't know who I am any more
The face is familiar, but the eyes, the eyes give it all away
They're all out to get you, once again, they're all out to get you
Here they come again
Insecure, what ya gonna do
Feel so small, they could step on you
Called you up, answer machine, when the human touch
Is what I need, what I need is you
Let me breathe, if you'd let me breathe
They're all out to get you, once again, they're all out to get you
