Lyrical Response

[SinceThe70s]

I've got a car cruising down the street
I wanna take you for a ride
Strap yourself into the passenger seat
And let me take you on a drive
You know my grandfather always said
That a man is only good as his tools
And my car's pretty good but
Space Ship One just rules

[Bill from NYC]

Hey pretty baby, let's go for a ride,
Cruisin' the freeway, sittin' side by side,
I don't care; you can bring your dog too,
Cruisin' down the freeway is all I wanna do.
Let's go cruisin', that's all I wanna to do,
Cruisin' in my automobile.
Yeah,
Yeah!
Hey yeah.
Come on,
Cruise with me baby,
Know that it would be such a thrill,
Cruisin' in my automobile, (Crusin')

[SinceThe70s]

She don't love me, she love my automobile.
She don't love me, she love my automobile.
Well she would do anything just to slide behind the wheel.
 

[WhoTom]

Ridin' along in my automobile
My baby beside me at the wheel
I stole a kiss at the turn of a mile
My curiosity runnin' wild
Crusin' and playin' the radio
With no particular place to go

[PastaJoe]

I heard you on my wireless back in '52
Lying awake, intent at tuning in on you
If I was young, it didn't stop you coming through
Oh-a, oh-a
They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine and new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see

Oh-a oh-a
I met your children
Oh-a oh-a
What did you tell them?

Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Pictures came and broke your heart
Oh-a-a-a oh

[DD4Bills]

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

 

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

 

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

 

You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio (radio)

[Bills4everNY]

Radios of the world are tuning in tonight

Are you on the dial?

Are you tuned in right?

One of our DJs is missing

Are you listening?

Are you listening to me?

Can you hear me? 

Can you hear me clearly? 

Around the dial 

[Bill from NYC]

Someone found a letter you wrote me on the radio
And they told the world just how you felt
It must have fallen out of a hole in your old brown overcoat
They never said your name
But I knew just who they meant

 

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
I was so surprised and shocked, and I wondered, too
If, by chance, you heard it for yourself
I never told a soul just how I've been feeling over you
But they said it really loud, they said it on the air
On the radio

[SinceThe70s]

 

One likes to believe in the freedom of music
But glittering prizes and endless compromises
Shatter the illusion of integrity, yeah

 

Invisible airwaves crackle with life
Bright antenna bristle with the energy

[WhoTom]

So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because your neighbor's got it made
Just remember that it's a grand illusion
And deep inside we're all the same

 

[Bill from NYC]

Evolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul
Shooting rockets to the moon, kids growing up too soon
Politicians say more taxes will solve everything
And the band played on

 

So, round and around and around we go
Where the world's headed, said nobody knows
Oh, great Googamooga
Can't you hear me talking to you?

Just a ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today
Woo, hey, hey

[SinceThe70s]

And then
In a fit of anger I pounced
And I pounced again
Great Googly Moogly!

I jumped up and down on the chest of a...
I injured the fur trapper

 

Well he was very upset, as you can understand
And rightly so, because
The deadly yellow snow crystals had
Deprived him of his sight
And he stood up, and he looked around, and he said

 

I can't see
 

[WhoTom]

Well I married me a wife

She's been trouble all my life
Run me out in the cold rain and snow

[PastaJoe]

It's good to see you baby it's been a long, long while
We're both a whole lot older and seen a lot of miles
But thing are different now since the good old days
And you've been in some trouble
Since we went our separate ways
Well have to say hello maybe some other time instead
'Cause you're wanted by the police
And my wife thinks you're dead

[SinceThe70s]

It's been a long time since I rock and rolled
It's been a long time since I did the stroll

[Bill from NYC]

 

It's been a long long, long time
How could I ever have lost you
When I loved you

It took a long long, long time
Now I'm so happy I found you
How I love you

So many years I was searching
So many tears I was wasting, oh oh

[SinceThe70s]

Monday, sad, sad Monday
She's waiting for me
But I'm a long, long way from home

[WhoTom]

Monday morning you sure look fine
Friday I got travelin' on my mind

[SinceThe70s]

Got my mind on my money, and my money on my mind

[DD4Bills]

Big money goes around the world
Big money underground
Big money got a mighty voice
Big money make no sound
Big money pull a million strings
Big money hold the prize
Big money weave a mighty web
Big money draw the flies
