Lyrics
NEARLY WATCHED TV Paul White (Pink and White Bridge)
I should played this hand mezaire.
I can't seem to take a trick anywhere
I'm sick of swallowing the bait - to bite another horrible mistake
Oh they say "nothing ventured, nothing gained",
But what warped bastard wrote the rules to this game?
I'm going out of my tree
There's nothing right with me
I've lost my senses, I believe
'cause I Nearly Watched TV
Well 747 times or more,
I've tapped and knocked and pounded on the door
Of high flying musical execs, that couldn't hold a tune in their heads
Oh, once it opened and a beady eye looked out
And slammed it in my face because i didn't have the clout
I've lost the plot gradually,
They've knocked the shit right out of me
I've lost my senses, I believe,
'Cause I Nearly Watched TV
There's something wrong with me
There's nothing right with me
I've lost the plot gradually
I'm going out of my tree...
I'm not the full quid you see,
I blame the music industry
I've lost my senses, I believe, 'cause you know what happened to me?
I Nearly Watched TV
