RADIO PLAY

 

1. I threw the dice and the dice rolled down

But all I got was a one and one

And when I turned aside

They flipped a card and I

Lost it all on the straightest run

I played the game but the game turned bad

I struck out with every love I had

And so it's no surprise

I'm turning to the dial

To find a station for my mind

 

Ch: Let the radio play

Let the radio play

Let the radio play

Radio play

Radio play

 

2. I caught a wave but the wave was dry

I tried to jump but I got out alive

And when I came around

I saw the higher ground

Slipping out of a blood red sky

I heard a voice say it's really sad

That you could lose what you never had

And so its no surprise

I needed to retire

To the comfort of the dial

of my radio

My radio

Radio, radio, radio

 

 

SOLO

 

Ch: Let the radio play

Let the radio play

Let the radio play

Radio play

Radio play

 

 

 

I DREAM A DREAM

 

Floating out in a river of love

Reaching over the ocean of your touch

Maybe I might never reach the shore

Maybe can only hide away

And watch the waves

As she flows in my mind

 

Ch:

But tonight I dream a dream

That tonight the sun will shine on me

For tonight I dream cos dreaming is free

 

Don't let the river run dry

My tears would fill the ocean of goodbye

Maybe I might never reach the sky

Maybe I can only hide away

And watch the day escape into the night

 

Break:

All I want is what I feel

That in my dream - seems so real

I was blind but in my dream

I can see and my dream

Is meant to be

 

SOLO

 

Ch:

But tonight I dream a dream

That tonight the sun will shine on me

For tonight I dream cos dreaming is free - hold - repeat till fade and hold every other A

 

 

 

WHEN WE WENT TO WAR

 

1. Situation Red

Half alive and half dead

Half a life to jump

And half a life to take a fall

Should I take the pain

Or should I take the last train?

Should I lay my life down

When it ain't no good

It ain't no good

Cos we went to war

When we went to war

We left all the colour for the black and white

OK, you win the war

Evened the score

Let the demons out

Let em laugh and shout

Now the curtain's down

On the battleground

 

Ch:

Every little thing called love

Every little thing I'm dreaming of

Every little brick in the wall

Comes tumbling down

 

 

2. Communications down

I heard a voice but no sound

I saw you shoot the lights out anyhow

We shot away the lid

So put away the gloves, kid

Talking about what I did

It ain't no good

It ain't no good

When we went to war

When we went to war

We stepped from the sun into the blackest night

And when you win the war

And you even the score

I won't be alive

Don't be so surprised

When I'm not in your life

Hope you're satisfied

 

Ch:

Every little thing called love

Every little thing I'm dreaming of

Every little brick in the wall

Comes tumbling down

 

Ch:

Every little thing called love

Every little thing I'm dreaming of

Every little brick in the wall

Comes tumbling down

Cos we went to war

 

 

 

TELL THE HANGMAN

 

1. Keep these chains around my heart tonight

Take my world and hide it away

And take this love and keep it out of sight

If all it did was cause you so much pain

Cos I, could never lie

I couldn't try to walk away

How can I try

To save the last goodbye

What should I deny

To make you stay

 

Ch:

Tell the hangman

He's got the wrong man

I didn't run when

I stole that heart away

So I stand here

Holding up my hands here

Save me if you can

Don't turn and walk away

 

 

2. Don't let me see out of my window

Or feel the sun touching my face

Don't let me out of your sight tonight

And if I run, don't let me get me get away

Cos I, I - I never lied

I never tried

To walk away

Cos when I tried

To wave the last goodbye

Was when I knew I

Could never let it break

 

SOLO

 

Ch till fade

WILD

 

1. If my bed was pocket sprung

Would I be the only one

Could I get your love undone

Could I shoot you with my gun

And if I was a grain of sand

Would I slip right through your hands

Would I itch inside your pants

Would I find the promised land

And go on, and go on

And go on

And go in and out and in and out and in and out and in

And go wild, go wild

Go wild tonight

Go wild tonight

Go wild

 

2. If I was an innocent

Would you call an ambulance

Would you break me till I bent

To break the silence

And if I was a lift

If I was an elevator

Could I take you up and down

Could I make you scream and shout, aloud

Aloud - and go in and out

And in and out and in and out and in

And go wild, go wild

Go wild tonight

Go wild tonight

Go wild

 

[Break]
