Boo Hewerdine American Tv Lyrics

I'd take the bus back home
Drive through the monochrome
But I knew I'd see somewhere better

It came as cathode rays
Through my imperfect days
I knew somehow I had to get there

Where the colors were so much brighter

California wasn't real
Just a place I'd see
On american TV
Back when I was a boy

There's something wrong with time
And of the northern line
It's going fast and slow together

I knew there was a place
Bonanza lost in space
Where smiles were white and there's no weather

And the colors were so much brighter California wasn't real
Just a place I'd see
On american TV
Back when I was a boy

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
(Ooh, ooh) american TV
(Ooh, ooh) american TV

Where the colors were so much brighter

California (California)
California (California)
A place I'd see
On american TV
Back when I was a boy

A place I'd see
On american TV
Back when I was a boy, a boy

A place I'd see (a place I'd see)
On american TV (american TV)
Back when I was a boy, a boy (ooh)
