Radio Songtext
von Fish on Friday

Radio Caroline broadcasting on 319 meters, 963 kilohertz
Well, we′re sorry to tell you that
Due to the severe weather conditions
And also to the fact that we're shipping quite a lot of water
We′re closing down and the crew are at this stage leaving the ship
So we'd just like to assure you all on
Land that there's nothing to worry about
We′re all quite safe
Just for the moment we′d like to say goodbye
Right!


We were starting out
We were all arounds
We would find our way
We were qualified
You'll be saving lives
I′ll be making stars
The guns will be our wives
And the radio played till dawn
And the bugles killed
The radio star

There was no hatred and no creed
All we did was pass the weed
We were blowing smoke so thick
And our girls were feeling sick

Oh, it's a long way
To the stars and the moon
Oh, it′s a long way
To the stars and the moon

Here we are today
Forgot each other's names
Driving fancy cars
We don′t play guitars
Have you saved your lives?
I betrayed my stars
But I still recall
When the radio played till dawn
And the bugles killed
The radio star


There was no hatred and no greed
All we did was pass the weed
We just set our spirits free
Played our role in one big dream

Oh, it's a long way
To the stars and the moon
Oh, it's a long way
To the stars and the moon

Oh, it′s a long way (I was born in 1962)
To the stars and the moon (And the radio still plays songs to you)
Oh, it′s a long way (I was born in 1962)
To the stars and the moon (And JFK just promised you)
Oh, it's a long way (All the friends
I had in my world, I was born in 1962)
To the stars and the moon (All the friends I had in
My world, and the radio still plays songs to you)
Oh, it′s a long way (All the friends
I had in my world, I was born in 1962)
To the stars and the moon (All the friends I
Had in my world, and JFK just promised you)
Oh, it's a long way (I was born in 1962)
To the stars and the moon (And JFK just promised you the moon)
