lyrics

Days are drawing in
Turn that radiator higher

The talent you still had
It took a tumble in the dryer

Your fan club took a vote
And your membership expired

It’s taken you a year now
Better just retire

Now your creativity has taken a hit
And the lure of the screen
Well, it just won’t quit
Should be writing this song
But the vision is gone
Essence harder to get when you’re…
Glued to the TV set!

Try to take a walk
Try to warm the amplifier

But the snow is up to here
And there’s crackle in this wire

And that positivity you felt at the start
Took a serious turn
Now it’s sunken your heart
Your fingering is weak
If it’s gutter-talk you seek
Well, there’s no need to fret now you’re...
Glued to the TV set!

And the ingenuity you had as a kid
While it frittered away
You naturally hid
Reminiscent of a scene when a California teen
Took a legacy key…
Ugh, you’re glued to the TV
The ham-fisted-ty is clear for all to see
You triple the backgrounds
And bury the lead
Like Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland, Jean Harlow...
I'm caught in the net.
Guess I’m…Glued to the TV set!
