TV & Me Lyrics

Gunned down in a fight
It was a bloody pleasure
Though I couldn't walk
I'm not dead I smell the pavement
At the end there's a light
And so pretty women
Though I couldn't see
I'm not blind and inside my mind

Fright night on the radio starving Junkies on the TV
I ain't got nothing against them brother
I just sit and hang around
While there's Conan something
MTV's burning up from lack of fever
I ain't got nothing against them brother
I just sit and hang around
I just wish there was something more to this
TV & Me

Lift off into space
It's all on discovery
I don't understand why it takes
So long for me to turn
So long for me to turn it off

Well, there's Fright night on the radio starving Junkies on the TV
I ain't got nothing against them brother
I just sit and hang around
While there's Conan something
MTV's burning up from lack of fever
I ain't got nothing against them brother
I just sit and hang around
TV & Me

You Can't Steal My Love

Lift off into space
It's all on discovery
I don't understand why it takes
So long for me to turn
So long for me to turn it off

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Having nothing to do and getting sucked into the horror they call Television. Basically being a zombie and not being able to turn it off

Well, you could go deep with this song, I think. I read how someone analyzed this song and figured out that is is about Jesus. Gunned down in a fight, (well, maybe not gunned, but still) it was a bloody plesure, since he sacrificed himself for the human race. He can't walk (the nails in his feet), but he's not dead. At the end there's a light. And Jesus will come if we just stop sitting around and watching lousy tv-shows. We should do something that makes sence.

How ever, I don't think that Gustaf and Björn thought of this. I think it's like brideofwalken said :)
