LYRICS:
That’s a televised mind
That’s a televised mind
That’s a televised mind
That’s a televised mind
That’s a televised mind
That’s a televised mind
Swipe your thoughts from Broadway
Turn ideals to cabaret
Water dreams of yesterday
Fall behind
All your laughter pissed away
All your sadness pissed away
Now you don’t care what they say
Nor do I
That’s a televised mind
That’s a televised mind
That’s a televised mind
That’s a televised mind
That’s a televised mind
That’s a televised mind
They’re all gulls in the sky
They all mimic love’s cry
And I wish I could die
Me or them
What ya call it, what ya call it, what ya
What ya call it, what ya call it, what ya
What ya call it, what ya call it, what ya
What ya call it, ya call it, ya call it
That’s a televised mind
That’s a televised mind
That’s a televised mind
That’s a televised mind
16 bars for the televised mind
Dublin line for the televised mind
We’re all televised minds
What ya call it, what ya call it, what ya
What ya call it, what ya call it, what ya
What ya call it, what ya call it, what ya
What ya call it, what ya call it, what ya
What ya call it, what ya call it, what ya
What ya call it, what ya call it, what ya
What ya call it, what ya call it, what ya
What ya call it, ya call it, ya call it

[@bobbypearl4288]

Heard this on the radio and thought it was an obscure 90s song. Like in the era of Prodigy and Blur. Absolutely love it

[@adamkwalczyk]

I must admit the bass line's striking resemblance to that of "Breathe" by The Prodigy, but other than that the two bands are pretty different.

[@paulwatson-work3544]

I know what you mean, but the more like the Catherine Wheels album, Ferment.

[@arthurraynaud4256]

Besides obvious post-punk influence, Fontaines DC said themselves they got inspiration from Prodigy for that rhythm and bass.

[@chrisroy7085]

That's because this track was released in 2020 (not 1989) off their second studio album, "A Hero's Death". It definitely has a retro 80's sound, but is Post-Millennial.

[@seanmeantime]

Most def

[@santebastien4603]

I think that the repetitions of "that's a televised mind" very quicky create a sense of habitued for the one who's listening : But the fact that they don't say it 4 times, as we would expect stresses us. Same with the "What ya call it". It's brutally interrupting and therefore, scary. The guitar also adds to this, and the drums make you feel as if you are being chased.

Born in 74, raised in the 80s and rocked hard in the early 90's. Super fussy when it comes to quality sounds and originality.

Agree 100%! (Listening from Brazil)

[@thegoyzilla1]

31 days until the full album drops...all three songs released so far are bangers, worthy of any "Best of Mid-2020" list. Fontaines and Idles are the sound of this young decade so far.

[@mrdarren1045]

I just wish idles weren't such virtue signalling preaching bores. And their overly happy live thing as well... just find it uber cringe. Just play the tunes and leave the manifesto at home. Nothing worse than a band trying to push their politics on you and the overly happy thing... Well there are millions out there who aren't going through a super happy times. I like a lot of of their music but I just cannot stand all the preaching. Cut out all that bs and they've got a solid act.
