Note: This song was previously known as "Lonely Computer Screen" when it appeared on the "Use Your Van" DVD. It was renamed to "My Computer Screen" when it was officially released on the Live at First Ave. album.
One day you'll wake up to find
The world is full of things you've left behind
Babies crying steal you from your sleep
The love you feel is now twice as deep
All the things that you thought you knew
Have been replaced by things you have to do
And you're throwing punches with your father's hands
At a universe nobody understands
Lonely computer screen
Lonelier than a magazine
Images flicker and then they're gone
Sweet thing, where did I go wrong
Sweet thing, where did I go wrong
No-one looks at you when you walk past
And you need their love but you're afraid to ask
And your lofty dreams are now dreams of beer
And the dream that you were anywhere but here
Lonely computer screen
Lonelier than a magazine
Images flicker and then they're gone
Sweet thing, where did I go wrong
Sweet thing, where did I go wrong
