On TV Lyrics

In your houses late at night
Sit down cosy, kill that light
Watch a movie, watch a fight
Feeling safe as well you might
When you dream in black and white
It can only happen
On TV, on TV
In the bathroom in your bed
Wall to wall we're in your head Finger on remote control
We are wired to your soul
We got idols we got dreams
It can only happen

On TV
On TV
On TV

We got idols we got dreams
Keep your eyes fixed on the screen
Squeeze your life there in between

On TV
On TV
On TV, TV, TV

Ecstasy for you and me
Here at home on your TV
TV TV TV

Turning up the volume 'cos it's blowing up your head
Look at your eyes they're going red

Turn it on!
Turn it off!
Turn it on!
Turn it off!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
