Lyrics The Steam Radio Song - Stackridge

The Steam Radio Song

Before your very eyes
The whole of the rubbish heaps come alive
«Once I was god» said a busted up steam radio
«The whole of creation knew nothing 'till I told them so»
«I was the news, I was Basie’s blues»
«I was Barton’s law, I was start of war»
I shouted «ARMISTICE!», the goons never got such applause
My voice was terrific for days i was doing encores
But now I am tossed to the ground
Thrown by the hands that applauded my sounds
Down amongst the dead men I lie
Cathode come home is my dream 'till I die
«Worst of it all,» said a buckled old fiddle and fife
No change of company, doomed for the rest of your life
Talk to your neighbour all day
Same conversation and nothing to say
In our retirement we find
Piece of the body but no peace of mind
No peace of mind
Bored all the time
It’s just incredible
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
