TV in Black & White

Recommended Posts

If you get lonely, think of me only

Prison isn’t going to keep me from you

Remember Coney Island and how we’d

Wade into the water ‘til the waves turned blue

 

Nobody does have to know that our love’s alive

Keep it on the low, if you want to hide

Got that same address if you want to write

One/On Greenwich Avenue, wishing and thinking of you

 

Living without you is like TV in black and white

You turned me on and brought color into my life

When I’m around you, suddenly I realize

That I was blind before I saw the world through your eyes

 

If you get lonely, think of this only

Heaven hasn’t forgotten about you

Though you can’t hold me, pick up and phone me

Use your one phone call on your ex-girl boo

 

I won’t tell a single soul how you spend your nights

In that single cell, holding your pillow tight

If you really are afraid, then you ought to know

That you’re the one I want, the one I want forevermore

 

Living without you is like TV in black and white

You turned me on and brought color into my life

When I’m around you, suddenly I realize

That I was blind before I saw the world through your eyes

 

I know you get scared sometimes, boy

Nothing to be feared when you’re in my heart

Troubles come in threes, but in your case

They came in millions and trillions, but that’s alright

 

Living without you is like TV in black and white

You turned me on and brought color into my life

When I’m around you, suddenly I realize

That I was blind before I saw the world through your eyes

 

Like TV in black and white (x4)

This will be great for Lanalysis!

 

It's probably the most obvious K song since...well, "For K."

 

Her vocals are so clear, so these are like the most accurate lyrics we've ever had.

 

Thanks.

 

I know! Only hiccup is the address line--she's got kind of a New York accent in a few lines, so it could be "awn Greenwich Avenue", but then the simpler answer is that her address is the number 1...

That's what I was thinking, it's probably "one" since it's an address.

I decided to transcribe these on my own before coming to this thread. We agreed on everything except the 7th and 8th lines. I was hearing "if you want to ride", which in retrospect makes very little sense if he's locked up. :smokes3:

 

As for the 8th line, I agree with the "1 Greenwich Avenue" camp.
