The Bizness

You might as well be a million miles away
Because the good stuff don’t give a damn about distance
Just as long as there is a mighty fine connection
I can feel you in an instance, then
Even though you’re far away
At a crazy distance
I get the way you think
Now let’s get down to bizness
Distance it don’t seem to be the issue that it used to be
no more letter on a rider on a horse
In the desert through wind and rain and whatever crap will come his way
Whole lot faster now
Crazy immediacy
Even though you’re far away
At a crazy distance
I get the way you think
Now let’s get down to bizness
We’re not really that far apart
We’re as close as our minds will let us
It could be easy it could be beautiful
Ready to give it a go
We’re in this together just wait for the juice to flow
Ready to give it as go
Even though you’re far away
at a crazy distance
I get the way you think
Now let’s get down to bizness
Last week we put a lander on Mars
I got friends I only see in a monitor

Took Forever
04:07

I got my earbuds cranked so loud
You’re probably hearing what I’m hearing
From across the house
Getting lost in the sounds of loud guitars
An escape for a while
To collect my thoughts
‘Cos this time Tuesday
You’re gonna go away
Away around the world
For forever and a day
And yes we can call
When the connection is clear
And let our hearts travel
Beyond the stratosphere
What took forever
What took forever
Is happening’ now
We knew change was coming
Always coming
Still it burns inside
What if I can’t detect your frequency?
Only getting white noise from my own TV?
Then what?
Dreams for me
Daydreams for you
You’re squinting in the sun
I’m asleep under the moon
As days go by
The distance grows
No longer fascinated by my funky telephone
Nothing feels the same
‘cause there’s nothing there to feel
Until I get another message
Blinking at me
Looking at me
Almost feeling right
Never felt so distant in the middle of the night
You will never be alone
Just click your heels and think of home
Doesn’t take much
To fill that void
Reassuring words and listening close
Doesn’t take much
When a heart is starved
To forget about distance
Pretend you’re in my arms
You know I’m in for real
For the real long haul
And as time goes by
And opportunities fall
It’s all good
It’s all for the best
I’ll continue to love you
Like I always have
Chorus

How Do You Know?
03:37

You must have asked me about a million times
I just assumed my love that you could read/change my mind
But the body language you exude is driving me away
Maybe we should split the bill this time though it’s your turn to pay
Ch
How do you know when to give and when to take
How do you know if you’re asleep or you’re awake
How do you know when to take it on the chin
How do you know when it’s time to cash it in
I must have asked myself least a million times
How can I complete this sentence if it doesn’t fit the crime
Obedience is what you crave (and) there’s nothing I can say
So leave me in the dog house and let this one has his day

My Camera
03:00
|

|
Just give me a sec
While I go get, my camera
So glad you came by
Ya I want this, to last
Long after you leave
From this room, tonight
In this room full of people
And all these people
Takin’ a million shots
Collectively
Ya that’s still a lot
A billion photos all of me
A self inflicted tyranny
I’ve got to prove I’m having fun
A hostage to my Instagun
Enhance my features make them pop
I won’t exist if I stop
I have no secrets from my fans
Except how sad I really am
Perfect food
And perfect clothes
Perfect teeth
And perfect nose
Perfect weather
Perfect friends
Hiding out
Behind a lens
So what did we do
Before this crept in
All these devices
Cataloguing all this hell

Ghouls
03:31
|

I
I am accepted by the ghouls
I am accepted by the
Questionable types
Each night
And we
We don’t learn anything
That you go on about
Each night
Yes we
Yes we believe
We are the right ones
And ghouls
Are all you see
Yes we
Yes we believe
We’re on the right track
That you, will never see
In the day
We disperse into the crowds
Fitting right in
Like we’re wearing camouflage
Because we
Don’t fit what they believe
We can only be ourselves
When they’re all asleep
Myths and traditions
Slanted opinions
Corrupt politicians with
Selfish ambitions
Words are not actions
Just endless distractions
Upholding fictions
Without repercussions

Stumbled

I got real close today
Until I stumbled
At my worst
And now it’s night
And all i can think about
Are moments
When it all went south
In retrospect it’s horrifying
And just like that
It’s not the same
I got real close today
Until I stumbled
At my worst
I got real close today
Was going so well
And then got worse
At a rate
Far too quick to be repaired
And moments
When they all dissolved
In retrospect it’s horrifying
And just like that
It’s not the same

Nothing On TV UK
Nothing On TV is an international conglomerate of like minded musical souls from Sweden, UK and Canada. After nearly sixteen
years of mutual appreciation, a global lockdown finally pushed them into a full and frenetic period of fully interstellar collaboration.
The result is an idiosyncratic collection; bittersweet anger, frustration, rage to melancholy joyousness and poignant acceptance.
