Colour Television Lyrics

No news for today,
Is all they've got to say,
Coming from a colour television

And every trick they try,
I can tell its just a lie,
Coming from a colour television

And every move they make,
I can see its just a fake,
Coming from a colour television

In the control room,
They turn up the volume,
Coming from a colour television

And it makes me feel nothing more than this

Everywhere I'm looking,
There's another wheel spinning,
Coming from a colour television

Another wheel of fortune,
Another million tortured,
Coming from a colour television

Another story televised,
Another million hypnotised,
Coming from a colour television

Now I'm hearing voices,
I've got no real choices,
Coming from a colour television

And it makes me feel nothing more than this

I switch on, I switch 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.
