Transistor Radio

Lyrics

Listen to the sounds of her broken heart Flowing from the transistor radio Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do Listen to the sounds of her broken heart Flowing from her transistor radio This little device fits the palm of her hand Built to take anywhere she wants to go She searches for a signal with a swift flick of the dial We're living in an age of technological advances It's this little simple pleasure that always makes her smile And now it's made me smile And it seems that she only gets AM Turning out these dated songs But Carly Simon's always been a guilty pleasure So I start to hum along And for a second I start to feel ashamed I remember the verses one and two of "You're So Vain" I look around to see if anybody's watching And I start to laugh from the thought Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do [Guitar lead] You can write it off as nostalgia Outdated kitschy cool, novelty -- it's not the same Can't you hear that tone that's pissed off and alone That aims square for the jugular vein? I really love these moments that are quirky and absurd As I sit here watching her mouthing all the words Within the range of radio frequencies A song is played that's meant for you and me Listen to the sounds of her broken heart Flowing from her transistor radio Listen to the sounds of her broken heart Flowing from her transistor radio Listen to the sounds of her broken heart Flowing from her transistor radio Listen to the sounds of the transistor radio
