Television - The Dream's Dream Lyrics

Mommy, I'm really thankful that your name ain't Phyllis 'cause 300
times since October our weirdo neighbor Phyllis has tried to kill us.

Dreams dream the dreamer

I read an interview with Richard Loyd and was impressed by his use of theory. I was not expecting self indulgence but I was expecting a few twists and turns. Kind of like the Police where if you are of a Pop music mentality there is nothing there to push you away but for those that want you can find some depth easily. I don't get it. It is just some nice simple pop.
Thankfully uncluttered and not pretentious but there are no underlying challenges.

I had heard of this band, but just until last week I actually heard their music. Amazing.

I'm gay and this speaks to me. I think this might be homosexual brainwashing TBQH.

"¿Qué se esconde tras la quebrada voz de Verlaine y tras el celestial solo de guitarra que, progresivamente, se adueña para siempre de la canción? Una visita a la corte, tal vez. Un homenaje a Alicia en el país de las maravillas, quizá. Sueños sueña el soñador, inquirió su majestad, a modo de veredicto final. Y en el borde del fin de los tiempos, el acusado sólo acertó a decir: “no es mi culpa”. Culpable, sin duda, ¿pero culpable de qué? Quizá de ir más allá de los límites de lo real. De desviarse del camino, de soñar otros mundos.

Puede que Verlaine se autoexculpara a sí mismo, a su ego y a su ambición. Pero sólo puede.

‘The Dream’s Dream’ se apaga lenta y tensamente. Aquello era en realidad el fin. Television no volverían jamás. De hecho sí que lo harían, y sería en la década de los noventa, pero todos sabemos que aquellos no eran los verdaderos Television. Tan sólo una sombra difuminada de lo que llegaron a ser, en feliz recurso literario. Feliz porque nada como la literatura para hablar de Television: nada como el arte para definir su música."

i remember when some friends and i were chating and chilling in a room and all of us had the chance to change the music using this platform, yeah it was years ago, so when i had the chance I chose Television, a friend of mine likes sort of garage music, as soon as he started listening to television's sound he said "they sound like the strokes", immediately i said to him "no, the oposite, the strokes kinda sound like television", we laughed and enjoyed, such a great moment; i think that one can't keep living experinces for too long before getting fed up, even though i wish i could, but instead learning as much as posible and share, but it comes a time when it is necesary to move forward not forgeting everything learnt before of course

just beautiful.

Suckin' Ass with Salem's Witch-Beaters (who're dirty, picky eaters)
When it rains on witches my butt twitches like 15 nerves in stitches
When I beat raw slut meat, dead on 2 feet, I'm mindful not to cheat

The Raging African-American in All Men...Duwayne sat on a big mountain that overlooked his crib.
His biotch was naked and dead. His homies were in jail. Duwayne had money that he
had taken from his A.I.D.S.-infected mama's purse. Yesterday a baby squirrel fell
from a tree. Duwayne ate it and then stole a car.

Ya know the Bass playing has a lot to do with the greatness here

So true and all their songs, great section

Fred Smith is genius.

Will we dance like spastics on synthetic dopamine?
"Tit for tat, butter for fat. If you pet my dog, I'll pet your cat."

Magical !

She said she thinks of me when she listens to this song. Wow, am I flattered now! It's such a beautiful song

Thought provoking.

I would kill to see television live. They have good songs to cry to

marquee moon is the aural equivalent of an orgasm !

Love this song!

I saw them two years ago. great show!

porcoddue. questo è l'assolo migliore. dopo quelli che non lo sono degli slowdive, questa è chitarra vera. un roy buchanan tom verlaine, che è quello che va detto.. torn curtain e words from the front non me ne vogliano, anche lllllooyyydddd. un'altra categoria. aldilà dello stile, che starless ne ha... per non parlare di eyeliner, decidete voi se la prima dei secondi

Eargasm

I have come back to Television in mid life and finding them even better.

My twin eyes peered blankly into a plug store that was Joan Rivers,
in her spinal years on blown vinyl chairs, final pears & bone slivers
that scratch the front of my arse like cameras beaten by drone livers
with relish, reliant on the fairest blessings of toe-errant crone givers

une chanson magnifique avec une guitare fabuleuse !! une des meilleures de Television !!!

Why you even bother? - UK (Britain) had it all, the most progressive bands on the planet.

I agree - except that Television were from the US.

The vocals are perpetually boring. Insipid. Generally, I find this tedious.

I agree. Shallow and pedantic.

These lyrics are fucking brilliant. This song is fucking brilliant. It's songs like these that make life brilliant.

guitar solo ppl

outro 4:46, Erik Satie and the Cure intro

Such an unusual composition: A 1:40 intro of music before 30 seconds of singing, followed by over 4 more minutes of music.

Easy the most beautiful guitar solo i've ever heard

Love how Verlaine adds in a feline sound effect vibrato note in response to the main guitar refrain.

Then later lowers its pitch and gives it more distance and echo to make it sound like human-voiced lament or moan.

Under the tutelage of Velvert Turner, under the tutelage of Jimi Hendrix, how could you go wrong with the guitar playing?! Such a unique sound.

damn, no one really has got those strings down for what -- 40+ years now x

television es la mejor banda que ha existido

Esa banda es re fome

Warning!!! Geniuses at work!

V´s singing is kind of awkward, he told himself he sounds like a choked turkey, well it doesnt matter as long as it is in this context. Its original and kind of classical Beauty that makes one just travel through time and space.

He sometimes sounded like Patti Smyth.

it goes well with jangly guitars

I loved this band, Please come back!!!

@richard tomao they're back and playing in san fran at the end of june.

who owns solo?

My favourite of the album with glory !!

Totally agree Jerste.......the Waldorf version is Television at their finest. The whole set is simply awesome.

Timeless and brilliant. The guitars and especially the mood is sublime. The guitar solo at 3:30 is perfection.

La plus belle chanson de ce groupe, quant au solo de guitare : tout simplement génial :)

the guitar @4:10. 
This must be heaven

Must be

Maybe their most beautiful song? The guitar solo is so pretty it hurts

no doubt about it

I don't think so. Solo guitar is just insane in "Call mister Lee" :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4QZSDu1wx8

Det är så underbart fint.

Mystery, melancholy, beauty

Hear this one on "Live at the Old Waldorf " ...
Marquee Moon sure is a special one but Adventure is more than its little brother.

This must be my favorite rock song ever. I don't know. I don't care. It's not my fault either I say.

Effortless, beautiful, peerless, electricity and guitars in unison.

Never too late for Television !

phat tune

I've only just discovered this! I bit late I know...

Utterly beautiful, Verlaine and Lloyd's guitar playing is as good as it gets

smiley face

thats wut i thought wen i saw the title haha

Inception

It was always underrated. And so is their third album. I think the third one is actually more beautiful than Adventure.

Un LP...Miticoooooo!!! <3

Verlaine is a geek, but a talented more sensible one than the other "stars" of this period. To me he was epitomizing a gifted poet/artist much more than f x Elton John, Television had such a fervor a taste, that harked back to the symbolists and one thought that everything is possible. Love this song it really makes "my heart sing" in a quiet way

Melancólica y oscura canción de una belleza exquisita. Una favorita de todos los tiempos.
