❝ I wish I was the man with the mechanical heart
I’d conquer all my enemies alone
I’d tear the guys apart
Then scatter the pieces
I wish I was the man in the soundproof booth
I wish I had a chance to stump the band
Or maybe tell truth
And maybe I could win a color television
I really love my–television
I love to sit by–television
Can’t live without my–television
TV is king
You’re my everything
I wish I had the girl with the bouncy hair
We’d ride off in a brand new car
Or fly a plane somewhere
Like probably Jamaica
I brush my teeth, shampoo my hair, and shave my face
Apply the necessary aerosol
In the appropriate place
And we’ll spend the night together watching television
I can’t turn off my–television
Don’t really know why–television
I understand my–television
You got your works in a drawer and your color’s on track
You have to break away but you always come back
You make a hundred changes but you’re always the same
You make me so excited and you make me so lame
You’re just a tube full of gas and a box full of tin
But you show me your charms and I want to jump in
Oh if only your chassis was covered with skin
‘Cause TV you’re my everything
I really love my–television
I love to sit by–television
Can’t live without my–television
I can’t turn off my–television
Don’t really know why–television
I understand my–television
I really love my–television
TV is king
You’re my everything
TV is king ❞

Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and sometimes mine] musical selections. • Do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!
