Tv Tan Lyrics
I'm living on a landmine, 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
And now (I see no sun, I see no life behind my one-track mind)
Here now (I need no fun, I need no time to find a new design)
Move along, I'm working on my 3D TV tan
So soak it up - I need another show
So soak it up- it's just a part of the plan
So soak it up - 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
Twenty Regal and a four-pack, I guess I'm set for the night
And antisocial, to keep in shape, thin and white
I like to smoke, and in 'tween tokes, consult the TV guide
The bible for the pig who stays inside
And now (I see no sun, I see no life behind my one-track mind)
Here now (I need no fun, I need no time to find a new design)
Move along, I'm working on my 3D TV tan
So soak it up - I need another show
So soak it up - it's just a part of the plan
So soak it up - there's only me and my TV tan, TV tan
Winning, I'm thinning and insanely grinning
As fools peering out of my TV try hard to be funny
Unfortunate for me they start to entertain me
I'm living on a landmine, the kind that never ignites
And I'm here waiting here for nothing
And now (I see no sun, I see no life behind my one-track mind)
Here now (I need no fun, I need no time to find a new design)
Move along, I'm working on my 3D TV Tan
So soak it up - I need another show
So soak it up- it's just a part of the plan
So soak it up - there's only me and my TV Tan
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
Here now (I need no fun, I need no time to find a new design)
Move along, I'm working on my 3D TV tan
So soak it up - I need another show
So soak it up- it's just a part of the plan
So soak it up - there's only me and my TV tan
Maybe Tuesday, when there's nothing on TV
Twenty Regal and a four-pack, I guess I'm set for the night
And antisocial, to keep in shape, thin and white
I like to smoke, and in 'tween tokes, consult the TV guide
The bible for the pig who stays inside
Here now (I need no fun, I need no time to find a new design)
Move along, I'm working on my 3D TV tan
So soak it up - I need another show
So soak it up - it's just a part of the plan
So soak it up - there's only me and my TV tan, TV tan
As fools peering out of my TV try hard to be funny
Unfortunate for me they start to entertain me
And I'm here waiting here for nothing
Here now (I need no fun, I need no time to find a new design)
Move along, I'm working on my 3D TV Tan
So soak it up - I need another show
So soak it up- it's just a part of the plan
So soak it up - there's only me and my TV Tan

More than likely about a couch potato - this song is my anthem!
'I like to smoke, and in 'tween tokes, consult the tv guide',
Heh heh, spot on. I love this song
About someone who wastes their life by doing nothing instead of getting out there and living!
I seem to remember Ginger commenting that it should be 'So-So KO', as in overdose of the ordinary. Cracking song, love it.
