New song for fans of TV everywhere ……..
from James’ album Happy Enough
TV by James Hampton
One story ends and the next one begins
And I don’t leave my seat
I sit in the shadows
And watch the world on the screen
And I think what a wonderful world this is
In the rain or the shine
Anytime
Turn off the light
Shut the curtains
Switch on the TV
I put up my feet
I turn it up
I don’t feel like thinking
Switch on the TV
I fall asleep and dream of the things I’ve seen
It’s kind of like watching repeats
My dog is by my side
He is watching the TV too
He just loves it when there’s a dog on the screen.
In the rain or the shine anytime
Turn off the lights
Shut the curtains
Switch on the TV
I put up my feet
I turn it up
I don’t feel like thinking
Switch on the TV
‘Cos the ballet is too expensive
And I don’t want to go to a show
And why bother with the cinema
When we can stay at home
I’m afraid to leave the house
I’m afraid to leave the house
I’m afraid if I go I’ll miss my favourite show
Don’t want to miss my favourite show
In the rain or the shine anytime
Turn off the light
Shut the curtains
Switch on the TV
I put up my feet I turn it up
I don’t feel like thinking
Switch on the TV
I don’t feel like thinking
Switch on the TV
Switch on the TV
