Tom Robinson Band - Listen To The Radio lyrics

rate me

Leave the bureau in the snow

Catch a tram to Onkel PO

Early evening ring around the moon

Slip in by the concierge

By the bikes and up the stairs

Snap the latch and creep into the room

You throw off your coat, pick up the post

And put a coffee on

Lie down on the bed, lay back your head

And smoke a cigarette

And listen to the radio

Listen to the radio

In the city late tonight

Double feature, black and white

"Bitter Tears" and "Taxi to the Klo"

Find a bar, avoid a fight

Show your papers, be polite

Walking home with nowhere else to go

You throw off your coat, pick up my note

Put another coffee on

Lie down on the bed, lay back your head

And smoke a cigarette

And listen to the radio

Listen to the radio

Atmospherics after dark

Noise and voices from the past

Across the dial from Moscow to Cologne:

Interference in the night

Thousand miles on either side

Stations fading into the unknown:

So throw off your coat, we'll butter some toast

And put a coffee on:

We'll lie down on the bed, lay back our heads

Smoke another cigarette

And listen to the radio

Listen to the radio

All night long
