Stackridge - The Steam Radio Song lyrics

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
