The End Of Radio (2004 Peel Session)

Lyrics

Is this thing on? Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? In session tonight The ghost of a brilliant man As we come to the close of our broadcast day This is my farewell transmission Signing off and Mr. and Mrs. America And all the ships at see Anyone within the sound of my voice This is the BBC world service Is this thing on? Can you hear me now? Got 50,000 watts of power I got my radio on Out on route 128 in the dark and golden It's the sound of modern moonlight Can you hear me now? It's the end of radio And we miss it Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? It's the end of radio Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Welcome to your top ten And this one goes out to a special girl But is it really broadcasting if there's no one there to receive? Is the last announcer plays the last record, and The last watt leaves the transmitter to circle the globe In search of a listener Can you hear me now? It's the end of radio John Peel was a hell of a man The session today, it's the end of radio Can you hear me now? This microphone turns sound into electricity I wanna ionize the air! She said, "not if you were the last man on Earth" Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? It's the end of radio This is a test, this is a test If this had been a real emergency HEY! HEY! This is a real goddamn emergency! It's the end of radio Is it really broadcasting if there's no one to receive? and It's just me and my favorite records You could call it dead air Think that's rude a bit Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? I'd like to thank our sponsor But there is no sponsor Martina Navratilova could not get a sponsor Martina Navratilova, your name is really fun to say Martina Navratilova, I'll be your sponsor I wanna sponsor you, Martina Navratilova Is this thing on? While Bob's tuning, I can take a question if you have any Any questions? Last night's skit, was your vocals, uh, a bit shady? No, that's just me Were our vocals crappy last nights- No, no it's ok, man Yeah, generally my vocals are crappy No, no I thought they were good
