The way it was in the past
|
A long, long time ago
|
Before staff levels dropped
|
They used to listen to the radio
|
And listen to the DJ's talk
|
About the songs they didn't know
|
As if it really mattered
|
|
Hit-pick or phone-in show
|
I don't want you to go tonight
|
Ten thousand watts of power
|
News headlines on the hour tonight
|
Our music beats the best
|
You just don't need the rest tonight
|
Once I couldn't care at all
|
But I can feel the ratings fall tonight
|
|
And 20 years ago
|
No-one seemed to care
|
The people must have known
|
The DJ's role was only there
|
To fill in space between the songs
|
That talk of love and other things
|
As if they didn't matter
|
|
Automatic stations came
|
And sent them all away
|
And now I'm left alone
|
I haven't got a word to say
|
And you're the one who makes the choice
|
To turn me on or turn me off
|
But now it really matters
|
|
Hit-pick or phone-in show
|
I don't want you to go tonight
|
Ten thousand watts of power
|
News headlines on the hour tonight
|
Our music beats the best
|
You just don't need the rest tonight
|
Once I couldn't care at all
|
But I can feel the ratings fall tonight
|
|
Hit-pick or phone-in show
|
I don't want you to go tonight
|
Ten thousand watts of power
|
News headlines on the hour tonight
|
Our music beats the best
|
You just don't need the rest tonight
|
Ten thousand watts of power
|
News headlines on the hour tonight
