Late Night Radio
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the windsong album, and has also been released on the changes album.
Theres lonely hearts in arkansas
Theres truckers in des moines
All there to keep me company in the early morn
A world unknown to daytime
Is forever going on
The airwaves of the nation
Between midnight and the dawn
Late night radio
Take it everywhere I go
My best friend when Im lonely
Is my late night radio
Well I turn the dial
A little bit past one-o-one point two
In time to catch the news
And see whos shooting who
Then I hunt around for old songs
Theyre so good to hear again
To think of how it was
Imagine how it might have been
Late night radio
Take it everywhere I go
My best friend when Im lonely
Is my late night radio
La la la I sing along
cause I never know the words
La la la la la la la la
Id love to call a talk show
But I havent got the nerve
La la la oh oh oh radio
The lord is still my shepherd
But these preachers got to go
This time of night my interest
Lies in u.f.o.s
So I turn the dial a little
Past fifty-six point three
To find myself a lullaby
To rock me off to sleep
Late night radio
Take it everywhere I go
My best friend when Im lonely
Is my late night radio
Late night radio
Take it everywhere I go
My best friend when Im lonely
Is my late night radio

To the words that keep me wishing
That one day Ill be kissing you

Radio Radio
I was tuning in the shine on the light night dial
Doing anything my radio advised
With every one of those late night stations
Playing songs bringing tears to me eyes
I was seriously thinking about hiding the receiver
When the switch broke cause its old
Theyre saying things that I can hardly believe.
They really think were getting out of control.
Radio is a sound salvation
Radio is cleaning up the nation
They say you better listen to the voice of reason
But they dont give you any choice
cause they think that its treason.
So you had better do as you are told.
You better listen to the radio.
I wanna bite the hand that feeds me.
I wanna bite that hand so badly.
I want to make them wish theyd never seen me.
Some of my friends sit around every evening
And they worry about the times ahead
But everybody else is overwhelmed by indifference
And the promise of an early death
You either shut up or get cut up;
They dont wanna hear about it.
Its only inches on the reel-to-reel.
And the radio is in the hands of such a lot of fools
Tryin to anaesthetise the way that you feel
[chorus]
Wonderful radio
Marvelous radio
Wonderful radio
Radio, radio...

When the radios on and you
And me get crazy
Hey, mister on the radio
Please play my favorite song
The one where she didnt go away
Hey, mister on the radio
Youre really my best friend
Please play my favorite song for me
Hey. mister on the radio
Youre with me every day
And late at night I turn you on
On the radio

When the radios on and you
And me get crazy
All of the rock and roll djs
Got their fingers on the world
cause they play the songs
That make you and me feel so good
Turn up your radios
And hear the music
On the radio
This song is playin
When the radios on
And you and me get crazy
Radio dj monologue:
One minute the back side of midnight its me captain gonzo ready to roll hot wax anything you want to hear
All night its a balmy 73 degrees in fog city, 71 in the valley 80 in santa cruz (? ), but remember if you snooze you lose
Im gonna hang with you, Ill crank it on...so let me know what you want to hear phone lines are open now
You say it you know Im gonna play it and be ready to win when I tell you to call in and whatever you do
Remember the phrase that pays puts your brain on vacation and let your toes take over keep your pedal to the metal
Ill be back in sixty seconds, in the meantime go with it, go for it, go nuts, go completely wild.....

One Night A Day
Theres not a lot of things to do
I wouldnt rather do with you
Guess Im funny that way
Lately I just sit and stare
I talk to people who arent there
To get through one night a day.
(chorus)
One night a day
One step away
From leavin you behind
I sit up with the radio
Sing along with the ones I know
To get through one night a day.
*chorus*
Im callin every friend Ive had
Wake em up, and make em mad
Let em know that Im okay.
I used to sit and talk to you
Theyre all just a substitute
To get through one night a day.
*chorus*
I stay up with the late, late show
Just another way I know
To get through one night a day
To get through one night a day.

Turn The Radio Up
C'mon everybody open
Up your windows
Turn on the music
Turn on the music
When I feel that this old world
Is just to hard to bear
People comin' at me left and right
Day and night
Here's the thing I do
Turn the radio up
Hear the melody
Turn reality down
There's too much talk about blues
To much of the time
Turn the radio up
Hear the harmony
Turn the ngative down
Turn the radio up
Everything will be find
Worryin' don't do no good
So throw your cares away
Come on people life's too
Short to stay
Hey hey
Everybody now
Turn the radio up
Hear the melody
Play it all over town
There's to much talk about blues
Turn the bulletins down
Turn the radio up
Hear the harmony
Don't 'cha be so profound
Turn the radio up
It'll turn you around
Don't give in
No matter what they say
Out with the negative
You find the positive way
Hey, hey, hey
Turn the radio up
Up with harmony
Pandemonium down
There's to much talk about blues
All over this town
Hey, hey, hey
Turn the radio up
Hear the melody
Don't you be so profound
Turn the radio up
It'll turn you around
Turn the radio up
Turn the radio up
Turn the radio up

When you dance with me we dance forever
All night long to your favourite
Hit music on the radio

When you dance with me we dance forever
All night long to the latest song
Live a lie, dance together
All night long to your favourite

Ive been working hard all day
To pay the bills I have to pay
Dont have the strength to work all night
Or fight until its almost light
Music on the radio
D-dance music at the disco
Live a lie dance together
All night long to your favourite song
Live and die, its all that we know
I need a friend at the journeys end
Hit music, in stereo
Its all about love, and its about forgetting
Choose a song when the nights too long
We all need love and we want protection
I need a friend at the journeys end
In kensington, or spanish harlem
All night long to your desperate
Hit music on the radio
Music at the disco
Hit music on the radio

Security
I know the feeling i can see it in the mirror
It knows that i'm receptive and it knows that i am here
It's always quite confusing when i try to leave it home
I'll be walking going somewhere and i feel i'm not alone
It is with me in the morning it is with me late at night
It's always confidential and it knows i'm always right
I can hide it in believing what i'm doing is not a game
But the feeling keeps me feeling that it's with me just the same
If something in the world seems right then it is what i know
This is where i want to be, so this is where i go
Everybody feels better look inside and see a radio, a radio
Everybody feels better with security
I put on my coat and omit my hat
Get a grip on my umbrella i'm not looking back
Everybody's different but we're all quite the same
And the feeling comprehensive and the feeling in the range
It is with me in the morning it is with me late at night
It is always quite supportive and it knows i'm always right
I can hide it in believing what i'm doing is not a game
But the feeling keeps me feeling that it's with me just the same
And if something in the world seems right then it is what i know
And this is where i want to be then this is where i go
Everybody feels better look inside and see a radio, a radio
Everybody feels better with security
I know the feeling i can tell you when it's there
It's crawling up my socks and it's running through my hair
It's always quite confusing when i try to leave it home
I'll be walking going nowhere and i'll feel i'm not alone
It is with me in the morning it is with me late at night
It is always confidential and it knows i'm always right
The feelings there to tell me what i'm doing is not a game
And the feeling keeps me feeling that it likes it just the same
And something in the world seems right and this is what i know
And if this is where i want to be then this is where i'll go
Everybody feels better look inside and see a radio, a radio
Everybody feels better with security
It's just something they told me
They said that everything in the world is right and this is what i know
And this is all i want to be so this is where i go
Everybody feels better look outside and see a radio, a radio
Everybody feels better with security-t-t
Everything in the world is right and this is who i know
And this is where i want to be so this is where i go
Everybody feels better look inside and see a radio, a radio
Everybody feels better with security-t-t

Late night driven by
Late night
And i´m sitting here
Watching the dark road pass me by
Trough the car window, there´s him
And then there´s me
Late night
And i´m sitting here
Thinking about the random things that cross my mind
Next to me, there´s him
And then there´s me
Late night
Driving trough the loneliness of the night
Watching my life before my eyes
There´s him and
Then there´s me
Late night
And the radio is the only thing
We can possibly hear at this moment
There´s him and then there´s me
This silence is striking
Late night
Tried falling asleep
There´s him
There´s me
I wonder if he knows that
There is you.

Radio Id sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And evrything I had to know
I heard it on my radio
You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds - invaded by mars
You made em laugh - you made em cry
You made us feel like we could fly
Radio
So dont become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just dont know or just dont care
And just complain when youre not there
You had your time you had the power
Youve yet to have your finest hour
Radio
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio whats new?
Radio someone still loves you
We watch the shows - we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years
Lets hope you never leave old friend
Like all good things on you we depend
So stick around cos we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
You had your time you had the power
Youve yet to have your finest hour

Late Greats
The greatest lost track of all time:
The Late Greats' "Turpentine"
You can't hear it on the radio
You can't hear it anywhere you go
The best band will never get signed
K-Settes starring Butcher's Blind
Are so good, you won't ever know
They never even played a show
You can't hear 'em on the radio
The greatest singer in rock and roll
Would have to be Romeo
His vocal chords are made of gold
He just looks a little too old
The greatest lost track of all time:
The Late Greats' "Turpentine"
I can't hear it on the radio
I don't hear it anywhere I go
The best song will never get sung
The best life never leaves your lungs
So good, you won't ever know
I never hear it on the radio
Can't hear it on the radio

Turn Your Radio On
Come and listen in to a radio station
Where the mighty hosts of heaven sing
Turn your radio on, turn your radio on
If you want to feel those good vibrations
Coming from the joy that His love can bring
Turn you radio on, turn your radio on.
Turn your radio on
And listen to the music in the air
Turn your radio on and glory share
Turn your lights down low
And listen to the Master's radio
Get in touch with God, and turn your radio on.
--- Instrumental ---
Everybody has a radio receiver
All you got to do is listen for the call
Turn your radio on, turn your radio on
If you listen in you will be a believer
Leanin' on the truths that'll never fall
Get in touch with God, turn the radio on.
Turn your radio on
And listen to the music in the air
Turn your radio on and glory share
Turn your lights down low
And listen to the Master's radio
Get in touch with God, turn your radio on.
Turn your radio on
And listen to the music in the air
Turn your radio on and glory share
Turn your lights down low
And listen to the Master's radio
Get in touch with God, turn your radio on.
Turn your lights down low

Get in touch with God, turn your radio on...

She looks easy

She knows what I need
Shes kinda easy
Shes everything you ever wanted in a girl
Im in love with the way she walks
And Im not the kinda guy who talks
Late at night she gives it everything that shes got

Nothin on but the radio
Late at night, thats the only way to go
Nothin on but the radio

Slow dancin

Tell her what I need

And always say please
Oh that lil girl shes got

Am Radio
The VCR and the DVD
There wasn't none of that crap
Back in 1970
We didn't know about
A world wide web
It was a whole different game being played
Back when I was a kid
You wanna get down
In a cool way?
Just picture yourself on a beautiful day
With the big bell bottoms
And groovy long hair
Justa walking in style
With a portable CD player
No
No...you would listen
To the music on
The AM radio
Yeah...you could hear the music
The AM radio
Flashback to '72
Another summer in the neighborhood
Hanging out with nothing to do
Sometimes
We'd go driving around
In my sister's Pinto
Cruisin' with the windows rolled down
We'd listen to the radio station
We were too damn poor
To buy the 8 track tapes
There wasn't any good time
To want to be inside
My mom would want to watch that TV all night
I'd be in bed with the radio on
I would listen to it all night long
Just to hear my favorite song
You'd have to wait
But you could hear it
On the AM radio
Yeah...you could hear the music
On the AM radio
I can still hear mama say
"Boy...Turn that radio down!"
Things changed back in '75
We were all growing up
On the in
And the outside
We got in trouble with the police man
We got busted
Getting high
In the back of my friend's van
I remember 1977
I started going to concerts
And I saw the Led Zeppelin
I got a guitar
On a Christmas day
I dreamed that Jimmy Page
Would come to Santa Monica
And teach me to play
There isn't any other place that I need to go
There isn't anything that I need to know
That I did not learn from the radio
Yeah when things get stupid
And I just don't know
Where to find my happy
I listen to the music
From the AM radio
(You could hear the music
On the AM radio)
(You could hear the music
On the AM radio)
I like pop and I like soul
I like rock
But I never liked disco
(On the AM radio)
We like pop...We like soul
We like to rock
But we never liked disco
(On the AM radio)
I never liked disco...no I never liked disco

All we hear is radio ga ga

Radio - what's new
Radio - someone still loves you
1984 - a long time ago
When I heard it first time on the radio
Radio ga ga was the name of that song
Now I'm back with the track and I feel so strong
1996 - the remix is done
First time ever since the story begun
One of my favorites in the music scene
Here is the voice, the voice of Queen
I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And everything I had to know I heard it on my radio
So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there

If you want to listen to the music of today
Turn on the radio and let it play
Play it loud without no doubt
Queen and BoBo is what I'm talking all about
About a beat that spins you around
Get up stand up move to the sound
With the rhythm and the rhymes let the music flow
Everybody everywhere listen to the radio
We watch the the shows - we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years.
Let's hope you never leave old friend
Like all good things on you we depend
So stick around cause we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
You had your time - you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour

Transmission
Radio, live transmission.
Radio, live transmission.
Listen to the silence, let it ring on.
Eyes, dark grey lenses frightened of the sun.
We would have a fine time living in the night,
Left to blind destruction,
Waiting for our sight.
And we would go on as though nothing was wrong.
And hide from these days we remained all alone.
Staying in the same place, just staying out the time.
Touching from a distance,
Further all the time.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio.
Well I could call out when the going gets tough.
The things that we've learnt are no longer enough.
of the show
And we could dance.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the radio.

Private Radio
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Gotta get a little
Gotta get a little
All the world has gone to bed
And I am drowning in it's silence
But a solitude is in my head, from you, maybe
And if the silence was a song
Well, its rhythm grooves and it's a private radio
And on this night I did belong
In harmony
And you can't deny me
And you will oblige me
It's my melody
When the night comes
When no one knows
I can feel it
I've got my private radio
I'm finally out of my pillow
'Cause I'm lyin' here, but I am ready good to go
If I don't win I'll leave this town
Or not, I'll stay and chase the sun now
And you can't deny me
And you will oblige me
It's my melody
When the night comes
And no one knows
I can feel it
I've got my private radio
Catch me, not care
Call me later
Morning's risin'
All the world has gone to bed
And there's a sound inside my head
And in the dark inside my bed
And the melody inside my head
(When the night comes)
There's a part of me no one will never know
(And no one knows)
And midnight comes and I know I'm on my own
(I can feel it)
There's a part of me no one will ever see

There's a part of me no one will ever leave be

I Heard Santa On The Radio
On Christmas morning you woke up
To static on the radio
Someone must have turned it on
Who...you didn't know
You got up slowly sleepy-eyed
To a tune that stationed in
Turned the dial a little while
Then a voice said "Let the party begin!"
Hey Hey Hey and
Ho Ho Ho and
Now it's time
For the jolly DJ show
I Heard Santa On The Radio
I knew it was Santa on the radio
Mixing up the music like a Santa should
And radio never sounded so good
He was busy finding busting beats
Making it up as he went along
Hip hop, rock, and *****
St. Nick can do no wrong
Turning the rythem inside out
Till the people shook the house
Pretty soon every creature was dancing
Every boy and girl and every mouse
Hey Hey Hey and
Ho Ho Ho and
Now it's time
For the jolly DJ show
I Heard Santa On The Radio
I knew it was Santa on the radio
Mixing up the music like a Santa should
And radio never sounded so good
All the music comes together
All the people just let go
All the world is listening to the jolly DJ show
Hey Hey Hey and
Ho Ho Ho
I Heard Santa On The Radio
I knew it was Santa on the radio
Mixing up the music like a Santa should
And radio never sounded so good
I Heard Santa On The Radio
I knew it was Santa on the radio
Mixing up the music like a Santa should
And radio never sounded so good
I Heard Santa On The Radio
I knew it was Santa on the radio
Mixing up the music like a Santa should
And radio never sounded so good
And radio never sounded so good
