Boo Hewerdine – American TV lyrics
I'd take the bus back home
Drive through the monochrome
But I knew I'd see somewhere better
It came as cathode rays
Through my imperfect days
I knew somehow I had to get there
Where the colors were so much brighter
California wasn't real
Just a place I'd see
On american TV
Back when I was a boy
There's something wrong with time
And of the northern line
It's going fast and slow together
I knew there was a place
Bonanza lost in space
Where smiles were white and there's no weather
And the colors were so much brighter
California wasn't real
Just a place I'd see
On american TV
Back when I was a boy
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
(Ooh, ooh) american TV
(Ooh, ooh) american TV
Where the colors were so much brighter
California (California)
California (California)
A place I'd see
On american TV
Back when I was a boy
A place I'd see
On american TV
Back when I was a boy, a boy
A place I'd see (a place I'd see)
On american TV (american TV)
Back when I was a boy, a boy (ooh)
Drive through the monochrome
But I knew I'd see somewhere better
It came as cathode rays
Through my imperfect days
I knew somehow I had to get there
Where the colors were so much brighter
California wasn't real
Just a place I'd see
On american TV
Back when I was a boy
There's something wrong with time
And of the northern line
It's going fast and slow together
I knew there was a place
Bonanza lost in space
Where smiles were white and there's no weather
And the colors were so much brighter
California wasn't real
Just a place I'd see
On american TV
Back when I was a boy
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
(Ooh, ooh) american TV
(Ooh, ooh) american TV
Where the colors were so much brighter
California (California)
California (California)
A place I'd see
On american TV
Back when I was a boy
A place I'd see
On american TV
Back when I was a boy, a boy
A place I'd see (a place I'd see)
On american TV (american TV)
Back when I was a boy, a boy (ooh)
