The Thompson Twins were an English New Wave/pop band normally associated with the 1980s. The band formed in April of 1977, and disbanded in May of 1993. Despite their constantly-misleading name, the Twins were in fact a trio, and consisted of Tom Bailey (vocals), Alannah Currie (synth) and Joe Leeway (guitar). Leeway would eventually leave the group in the late 80s. Massively popular in the mid 1980s, the band scored a string of hits in the UK, broke into the USA and Canada and enjoyed huge popularity around the globe.

T.V. On Lyrics
Thompson Twins
Come into my room
Come into my Shrine
I got 40 televisions
All going at the same time
We don't need to go to clubs or parties anymore
We just lie right here on the floor
(chorus)
Television
Oh television
Let's do it with the T.V. on
With the T.V. on
We can stay awake in steamy glitter dreams
Flick a switch a change in every scene
Don't ya love it when we lose control
Just you and me....mmm electric soul
(REPEAT CHORUS)
The transmission is coming through so clear tonight
The satellites they must know the meaning of life
Some people go to London
Some people go too far
We don't have to move
It's the state of art
See the way they watch us
See the way they kiss
We can speak in tongues
We don't have to move our lips
(REPEAT CHORUS)
