lyrics

I have a colour TV
Reception can be a miss
You like to see black & white
I'm grey with static and hiss

The AM/FM cassette
Keeps chewing up what I've made
And all those hours on the floor
Of pressing pause, record, play
Are gone for good

You let me down
I believe you'd always tell me the truth
Won't ever soften the edge
Black showing through at the roots

And right, before you leave
I mince my words til there's none
Won't ever tell you a thing
I haven't already sung
Oh no, not me

I could be here, but I'm not
I don't know what to believe
And every time I feel caught,
Cause you won't let me leave
Stuck around too long
Stuck around too long,
after the good times were gone

Now I always take the long way home
And it's my finest regret
To let you have the microphone
And tape over that cassette

I could be here, but I'm not
I don't know what to believe
And every time I feel caught,
Cause you won't let me leave
Stuck around too long
Stuck around too long,
after the good times were gone
