TV On The Radio
Dear Science
For someone who has achieved so much – producing Scarlett Johansson, collaborating with David Bowie and standing proud at the top of NME’s Future 50 – it’s strange how there remains something of the underachiever to David Sitek. Blame TV On The Radio. It was TVOTR’s glorious 2003 EP ‘Young Liars’, made in vocalist Tunde Adebimpe’s Brooklyn loft, that brought Sitek to national...

TV on the Radio - Dear Science Lyrics
TV on the Radio - Shout Me Out Lyrics
Stone, cast me out
So I can feel it in another way, I won't talk about
Warned, passenger's hide
If I could feed it for another day it might run me dry
TV on the Radio - Halfway Home Lyrics
The lazy way they turned your head
Into a rest stop for the dead
And did it all in gold and blue and gray
TV on the Radio - Love Dog Lyrics
Lonely little love dog that no one knows the name of
I know why you cry out desperate and devout
Timid little teether your eyes set on the ether
Your moon in Bella Luna and howling hallelujah
TV on the Radio - DLZ Lyrics
Congratulations on the mess you made of things
I'm trying to reconstruct the air and all that brings
And oxidation is the compromise you own
But this is beginning to feel like the dog wants her bones, say
TV on the Radio - Lover's Day Lyrics
Oh, but the longing is terrible
A wanton heart under attack
I wanna love you all the way off
I wanna break your back
TV on the Radio - Crying Lyrics
Laugh in the face of death under masthead
Hold your breath through late breaking disasters
Next to news of the trite
TV on the Radio - Family Tree Lyrics
Anda my love, wake up to your window, the day calls in billows
Itâs echoing moonlight onto the blue nightmare of your heart
In cozy red rainbow, itâs shaking off halos
And the memory of our sacred so and so
TV on the Radio - Golden Age Lyrics
Heart beat sounding, ricocheting in their cage
Thought I'd lose my balance with the grounds bounce and sway
And all this violence and all this goes away
And the vibes that rise like fireflies illuminate our play
TV on the Radio - Dancing Choose Lyrics
He's a what? He's a what? He's a newspaper man
And he gets his best ideas from a newspaper stand
From his boots to his pants to his comments and his rants
He knows that any little article will do
TV on the Radio - Red Dress Lyrics
Hey jackboot, fuck your war 'cause I'm fat and in love
And no bombs are fallinâ on me for sure
But I'm scared to death that Iâm livin' a life not worth dying for
TV on the Radio - Stork and Owl Lyrics
Faceless fall from this life and oh
If you can't see the stars you've probably gone too far
Like the voice that cried on the lonesome tide
Like the wave was the only love it ever saw
