Television
written by Nick Lowe
At the end of every working day
I hurry home as fast as I can
grab myself a bite
'cause since you left me I'm a lonely man
I crack out a can of something
settle down in my chair
from that moment 'till the spot disappears
man, I could be anywhere
I'm pluggin' in my...Television
Turn it on...Television
Tune it in...Television
'n everything...Television
I'm lookin' at...Television
Just like a cat...Television
that little set...Television
It never quits
Let me tell you I don't care what's on if it's happy or sad
don't give a damn if it's good or bad
I'll sit and watch it 'till it drives me mad
just as long as it's on I'm glad
Now everybody that I used to know
they never come around no more
I don't go out either
'cause I ain't got nowhere to go
You see my best friend has been livin' in
ever since you've been gone
all I gotta do is activate that tube
and I don't have to miss you no more
I'm pluggin' in my...Television
Turn it on...Television
Tune it in...Television
'n everything...Television
I'm lookin' at...Television
Just like a cat...Television
that little set...Television
It never quits
Let me tell you I don't care what's on if it's happy or sad
don't give a damn if it's good or bad
I'll sit and watch it 'till it drives me mad
just as long as it's on I'm glad
