The Steam Radio Song - Stackridge

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
