Tv Tan Lyrics - Geordie In Wonderland - Wildhearts

I'm living on a land-mine 

my body's ticking away, my cartoon eyelids 

and my skin, a sickly grey 

and if I waited by the 'phone line 

I'd wait a couple of days so I'm here lying 

on my bed, until I fade 

I flick the channels one to one, I flick them through again 

and all the time I'm dreaming better days 

CHORUS: 

and now I see no sun, I see no life behind my one-track mind 

here I need no fun, I need no time to find a new design 

move along I'm working on my 3-D TV tan 

softso KO - I need another show 

softso KO - it's just a part of the plan 

softso KO - there's only me and my TV Tan 

some day maybe I'll call you 

I'll see whenever I'm free.. maybe Tuesday, when there's nothing on TV 

20 Regal and a 4-pack 

I guess I'm set for the night and anti-social, to keep in shape, thin and white 

I light a smoke, and in'tween tokes, consult the TV guide 

the bible for the pig who stays inside 

CHORUS 

thinning, I'm thinning and insanely grinning 

and fools peering 

out of my TV try hard to be funny 

unfortunate for me 

they start to entertain ye 

I'm living on a land-mine, the kind that never ignites 

and I'm here waiting, here for nothing... 

CHORUS
