| Its Just TV - V2 |   |
PX made a good suggestion of adding more brass.
I also changed the drum kit added more reverb and some EQ changes
Another Collaboration with Colin Jones who wrote the lyrics and provided the intro & outro samples.
Not sure what genre this comes under....humor perhaps??
It's Just TV - Lyrics by Colin Jones
I don't care for gypsy weddings,
Or The apprentice to the Board,
I don't want to see big houses,
With price tags I can't afford.
I don't want to cook those dishes,
Or eat live beetles for a bet,
Or watch celebraties changed into something,
That very soon we'll all forget.
Its just TV, its just TV,
It don't care for you and me,
Its just TV, its just TV,
And what they show is what you see.
Its just TV, Its just TV
I don't care for ads disturbing,
Those very tense and hard nosed scenes,
Of dramas penned by people,
Who now we wish that we had been.
This land is full of upturned saucers,
And dishes pointing to the sky,
They glue us all onto our sofas
And watch us fade away to die.
Its just TV, its just TV,
It don't care for you and me,
Its just TV, its just TV,
And what they show is what you see.
Its just TV, Its just TV
I also changed the drum kit added more reverb and some EQ changes

humor isn´t bad. I felt immediately reminded in P. Gabriel´s "Barry-Williams-show" when I read the text.
Colin´s text is speaking from deep of my heart. To me all this media-life looks like "mice-in-a-wheel" somehow. All these uncalled exhibitionists. "Where are the limits"? I ask myself every time again I see such stubid , untalented egocentrics.
How far will they go?
"I´ll stick my c..k into a shredder for 50.000€ . No problem. Main thing, I´m on TV".
PX does well not watching too much TV. Terrifying sometimes.
Once a clever man said : "TV is going to make the smart people smarter, and stupids more stupid."
I never forgot these words.
Denis, you did play and sing ya parts very well. The arrangement is fine now with the "big-band-character".
Ya sax playing has improved,too. Bass sound is really fine. Deep and clear. And a good mix.
Yes , "humor" category does fit.
U.L.I.
Certainly much more complete now! And yeah good call ULI, about that Peter Gabriel song. I actually have that in my music library and I felt a link there in my head too, though I couldn't immediately identify it.
Nice song Denis, fresh and different!

It�s Just TV � Lyrics by Colin Jones
I don�t care for gypsy weddings,
Or The apprentice to the Board,
I don�t want to see big houses,
With price tags I can't afford.
I don�t want to cook those dishes,
Or eat live beetles for a bet,
Or watch celebs changed into something,
That very soon we�ll all forget.
It�s just TV, it�s just TV,
It doesn�t care for you and me,
It�s just TV, its just TV,
And what they show is what you see.
Its just TV, Its just TV
I don�t care for ads disturbing,
Those very tense and hard nosed scenes,
Of dramas penned by people,
Who now we wish that we had been.
This land is full of upturned saucers,
And dishes pointing to the sky,

And watch us fade away to die.
It�s just TV, it�s just TV,
It doesn�t care for you and me,
It�s just TV, its just TV,
And what they show is what you see.
Its just TV, Its just TV

Love this song .... would not put it under humour though ... it's a serious song.
Listened once and had it in my head for a few hours ... even sung a bit of it in the shower.
It's a good song ... you do it well. It's very catchy.
I would like to add something to the lyrics though; "And what they show is what you see." should it not be something like 'And what they give you is not what you get.' ?
Upturned saucers is odd too!
You know I hear 'You talking to me?' as a sample as an 'answer' to the It's only TV .....
'TV' would be 'YouMe' in Welsh ! lol

I emailed Colin your suggestions and this was his response:
“What they show you is what you see” was really just a comment on the lack of depth in TV today – in other words you don’t get anything that you have to think about – its probably not the best line in the world but I felt it was ‘catchy’ and I think you’ve made it so..
Upturned saucers is just a view of the millions of satellite dishes on show everywhere."
