Chinese Radio

LONDON BOYS

CHINESE RADIO

It was back in '69, like a night mare cryin'

In a hotel bed on the coast

Happy Shanghai girls

Like a pretty string of pearls

And a snow storm up in my nose

I was on my way to heaven, with a funky red 11

And a switchblade job on the side

Hear the music playin' and my heartbeat prayin'

To the airways out in the night

Ouh, radio radio radio

I love my radio radio radio

My chinese radio radio radio

radio radio radio radio

Ouh, radio radio radio

I love my radio radio radio

My chinese radio radio radio

radio radio radio radio

Ouh radio radio radio radio

Oh, I could write a million stories

Tales of love and hate and pain

And my fears would truly frighten

Any ordinary man

Is there someone out there laughing!

Walking in the pouring rain,

Lord, I'm sure I know the answers

But it's too hard

To explain

Now my head is burning, an' I feel it turning

In an igloo up on the moon

Saying: Lord, have mercy on a guy from Jersey

And it falls back into my room

Just a stranded tourist

An' I wouldn't touch the purest

If I ever get out here alive

While the FM-switches and the green-light digits

Keep in touch with the world outside

Ouh, radio radio radio

I love my radio radio radio

My chinese radio radio radio

radio radio radio radio

Ouh, radio radio radio

I love my radio radio radio

My chinese radio radio radio

radio radio radio radio

Ouh radio radio radio radio

Oh, I could write a million stories

Tales of love and hate and pain

And my fears would truly frighten

Any ordinary man

Is there someone out there laughing!

Walking in the pouring rain,

Lord, I'm sure I know the answers

But it's too hard

To explain

Just a river on the run, now

I'm flyin' and I won't touch down

Got nowhere left to run

I get on my knees and pray

Oh, I could write a million stories

Tales of love and hate and pain

And my fears would truly frighten

Any ordinary man

Is there someone out there laughing!

Walking in the pouring rain,

Lord, I'm sure I know the answers

But it's too hard

To explain ...
