Lyrics of TV-mannen - Uno Svenningsson

TV-mannen (original)

Tystnaden bryts av ett vlbekant ljud
Dr han ser hela stan frn sitt rum
Kaffet are klart och det vrmer en stund
Hans fiskar dom simmar I vattnet och han lser sin tidning igen
Dr han kan se hela stan frn sitt rum
Tv-mannen ser hela vrlden frn sina 40 kvadrat med parabol
Hans tv are hans lycka och sllskap och I knt har han sin telefon
Gud vad han lngtar
Gud vad han lngtar
Efter ljudet av steg I rummet bredvid
Han tror han are kr I sin granne som are bortrest denna jul
Han skter hennes blommor och br nyckeln om sin hals
Han lser ett mail I frn ngon som han aldrig har sett eller mtt
Han byter kanal fr en film han vill se
Men han somnar hans kropp are s trtt
Gud vad han lngtar
Gud vad han lngtar
Efter ljudet av steg I rummet bredvid
Snn den faller s sakta ver hans lskade stad
Som har gjort honom till en av mnga ensamma idag
Han har mnga grannar I huset han bor och han knner ju faktiskt en
Inga blommor I vrlden mr bttre n hos Louise
Tv-mannen ser hela vrlden frn sina 40 kvadrat med parabol
Hans tv are hans lycka och sllskap och I knt har han sin telefon
Gud vad han lngtar
Gud vad han lngtar
Efter att ngon ska ringa p hans telefon
Gud vad han lngtar
Gud vad han lngtar
Efter ljudet av steg I rummet bredvid

(translation)

The silence is broken by a familiar sound
There he sees the whole city from his room
The coffee is ready and it warms up for a while
His fish they swim in the water and he reads his newspaper again
Where he can see the whole city from his room
The TV man sees the whole world from his 40 square meters with satellite dish
His two are his happiness and companionship and I knt he has his phone
God what he longs for
God what he longs for
After the sound of steps In the room next door
He thinks he's SEK In his neighbor who's away this Christmas
He cares for her flowers and wears the key around his neck
He reads an email from someone he has never seen or met
He changes channels for a movie he wants to watch
But he falls asleep his body are so tired
God what he longs for
God what he longs for
After the sound of steps In the room next door
So it falls so slowly over his beloved city
Which has made him one of many alone today
He has many neighbors in the house he lives in and he actually knows one
No flowers In the world, Louise is better than Louise
The TV man sees the whole world from his 40 square meters with satellite dish
His two are his happiness and companionship and I knt he has his phone
God what he longs for
God what he longs for
After someone calls on his phone
God what he longs for
God what he longs for
After the sound of steps In the room next door
