LYRICS
I dream in mono not in stereo
You are my tv, you’re my radio
My thoughts repeat themselves repeat themselves
Can’t think of nothing else of nothing else
The radio is on but I’m not listening
I’m just thinking of you and what we’re missing
The TV is on but I’m not watching
Who needs this stuff when I got you as my distraction
I’ve got a one track mind a one track mind
To everything but you my eyes are blind
I can’t control myself control myself
Can’t think of nothing else of nothing else
The radio is on but I’m not listening
I’m just thinking of you and what we’re missing
The TV is on but I’m not watching
Who needs this stuff when I got you as my distraction
And from this world (you’re my distraction)
State of the art (in entertainment)
The BBC (got nothing on ya’)
Woahh (you’re my distraction)
The radio is on but I’m not listening
I’m just thinking of you and what we’re missing
The TV is on but I’m not watching
Who needs this stuff when I got you as my distraction

Yep, thought I recognised the pubs, Bristol - That's King Street and The Old Duke behind her at 2.16, great pubs around there, will be there in 2 weeks yay!

Wow new discovery for me today and I LIKE it! Filmed in my home town too.

Thanks so much for the almost private concert in Bern, 22.3.19 ! A concert we'll never forget! :) And thanks for the rum as well

[@chucklestorm]

Wait you guys are still around that's fantastic! I met you guys years ago hocking your cd's at the warped tour. Good ol Rollin' Over, and Colors. Gotta know when you guys are touring and where. XD Good to see you're still putting out hits. oh and John Kanaka! that song's still my jam!

[@tarasticklytoes]

Sounds 80s!!!!! Feeling a punk vibe for the next album !! I hope!

[@michaelshupp970]

Song will not get out of my head. And I am OK with that. So good.

[@driscollfun]

My ears are loving this and missing a new pin to flaunt that love as well.

Great video. I used to live in Bristol, so I recognise a lot of the locations.

Thank you Lorna and crew for another great track. This one will be added to my wake up on the right side of the bed mix. Can't wait to see this one live. Come back to the States soon.

The three thumbs down must be from people who are upside down and thought it was the thumbs up button.
