lyrics

T.V. STATION
she's driven to the beat of TV
she dresses with a dozen names
across her body
her life is like a TV as
she jogs and likes her meals in a bag
and instant coffee
she's been taken - T.V. Station

she's got her act down pat
she's always got a name where she sat
and she's successful
you'd never want to catch her disease
she buys everything she sees on T.V. Station
she's been taken - T.V. Station

every six months she tries to throw her TV away
(she's not home)
she very well knows she might as well throw 'way her legs
(she's gone home, TV's gone home)

she's writing cover letters to show
she hasn't hot a boyfriend below her subway station
she does it like she sees on the box,
to Burger Land for bagels and lox and she's a pepper
no explanation - from T.V. Station

she never had a friend to count on not once in her life
(she's not home)
the only one who listens to her is there on the stand
(she's gone home, TV's gone home)

she's calling out to T.V. Station
she's falling in to TV state

about

The Breetles Princeton, New Jersey

The Breetles, an American power-pop band, are Chris Breetveld and anyone who plays Breetles songs, with or without him. They became one of the founding rocks of the "Kendall Park (New Jersey) Sound" starting around 1982. They have been described as the illegitimate flower-child of The Who, The Beatles, XTC, The Kinks, Mrs. Miller and Cheap Trick. Power-pop, cleverly-stupid, quiet is the new loud. ... more
