The sun's coming up so you pull that visor down
Morning news you spin your dial to the left
Then your heart does a backflip right outta your chest
It's me, and you'd know soon as you hear it
The frequency of a memory comin' in clear
And I know you don't hold on
But baby I still do
It's a long shot girl but I'm coming to you
From the other side of the radio
Turn me up I'll take you back down that road
I miss you like crazy
I'll never let you go
And the only way I can let you know is
From the other side of the radio
Mike Ryan
I was tuning in the shine on the late night dial
Doing anything my radio advised
With every one of those late night stations
Playing songs bringing tears to my eyes
I was seriously thinking about hiding the receiver
When the switch broke 'cause it's old
They're saying things that I can hardly believe
They really think we're 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 don't give you any choice 'cause they think that it's 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 they'd never seen me..
Elvis Costello
It's late at night and I'm feeling down
There are couples standing on the street
Sharing summer kisses and silly sounds
So, I step inside, pour a glass of wine
With a full glass and an empty heart
I search for somethin' to occupy my mind
'Cause you are in my head
Swimming forever in my head
Tangled in my dreams
Swimming forever
So, I listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
And all the songs we used to know
So, I listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
Remember where we used to go
The Corrs 👩👩👩🤪
Don't look back, ooh, a new day is breakin'
It's been so long since I felt this way
I don't mind, ooh, where I get taken
The road is callin', today is the day
I can see, it took so long just to realize
I'm much too strong not to compromise
Now I see what I am is holding me down
I'll turn it around
Oh, yes I will
Boston
Flute player play your flute 'cause
I know that you want to get your thing off
But you see I've made up my mind about it
It's got to be the rhythm, no doubt about it, woah woah
'Cause when the guitar player start playing
With the syncopated rhythm, with the scratch, scratch, scratch
Makes me want to move my body yeah, yeah, yeah
And when the drummer starts beating that beat
He nails that beat with the syncopated rhythm
With the rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat on the drums, hey
Turn the beat around (I'm talking about the beat)
Love to hear the percussion
Turn it upside down
Love to hear the percussion (love to hear the beat now)
Love to hear it
Love to hear it

Doctor
I've got this feeling
Deep inside of me
Deep inside of me.
Ijust can't control my feet
When I hear the beat
When I hear the beat.
Hey doctor
Could you give me something
To ease the pain
To ease the pain
'Cause if you don't help me soon
I'm gonna lose my brain
Gonna go insane.
Ijust don't know
Don't know
How I'm gonna deal with you
Doc
Doc
Doc
Doc

Close your eyes
Let me tell you all the reasons why
Think you're one of a kind
Here's to you
The one that always pulls us through
Always do what you gotta do
You're one of a kind
Thank God you're mine
You're an angel dressed in armour
You're the fair in every fight
You're my life and my safe harbour
Where the sun sets every night
And if my love is blind
I don't want to see the light

Posted at same time as Maggie but if follows... so...
All you've got is this moment
Twenty-first century's yesterday
You can care all you want
Everybody does, yeah, that's okay
So slide over here and give me a moment
Your moves are so raw, I've got to let you know
I've got to let you know
You're one of my kind
I need you tonight
'Cause I'm not sleepin'
There's somethin' about you, girl
That makes me sweat
INXS
There's something about that boy
There's something about that boy
He's bringing me so much joy
I don't know what it is but those eyes of his look through me
He's got everything that a girl could need
He's not like the others; he's so sweet
And there's almost nothing I wouldn't do (nothing she wouldn't do...)
To make sure that his dreams come true... (woah...)
Rosanna Hyland
He made a movie
He played the driver of a big yellow car
He is super fab and groovy
He struts, and he crows
(You never know where you are with him)
He got no sense, but he got money
He got no sense, but he got overnight success
Exceed excess, exceed excess
He no big deal, he just a wide boy
He no big deal, he just an ordinary guy
Oh, me, oh, my
Oh, me, oh, my
And with your symmetry teeth
And your California tan, well
I'm here to tell you that you ain't no Superman
You just a wide boy (wide boy)
