Ian Craig Marsh - WXJL Tonight lyrics

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
