• Song:

    Television Set

  • Artist:

    Depeche Mode

This song has never been released by depeche mode. It was playing during the Speak & 
spell tour in 1981 and opened every pefornance of it.
It is very simple and has only 3 chords - A G Em. It would be more comfortable to play 
them by power chords with improvisation of punk or post-punk style.

Intro:
A G

        A         G         A        G
You can see them running through me baby
        A         G           A      G
You can see the lights in their eyes
        A       G     A        G
You can see the masses raising me
         A          G        A    G
And I'm preaching them more lies
           A            G    A     G      
I'm just a mass-form communication
   A          G        A   G 
I sell what everyone buys
         A    G        A      G                  
You know my appearance is changing
A             G      A    G
Changing for modern times


Chorus:
          Em    G
I'm just a........television set
I'm just a........television set
I'm just a........television set


Well you can have me in bed if you want me
Just plug me into your wall
And I'll give you sex if you want it
Or I'll give you nothing at all
You can have me, babe, for good times

You can have me, babe, for bad
Keep me running all of your life and
I'll return your instant demand

Chorus:
I'm just a television set
I'm just a television set
I'm just a television set


Did you see them running through me baby
Did you see the lights in their eyes
Did you see the masses raising me
Am I preaching them more lies?
I'm just a mass form communication
I sell what everyone buys
You know my appearance is changing
Changing for modern times


Chorus:
I'm just a television set
I'm just a television set
I'm just a television set
