Wake up in the morning
Like a snowflake in the sun
A butterfly in Harlesden
No I don't have very long

Need an early warning
There's a killer on the run
But I came to deliver
Only love to everyone

Why don't you listen to the radio
Why don't you listen to the radio
Too busy talking to be listening
Why don't you listen to the radio

Welcome to the future
I can see the dislocation
Streets are empty
But the towns are flooding with frustration

From the way you're leaning
I'll be needing more protection
Wouldn't happen if papa
Had shown you more affection

Why don't you listen to the radio
Why don't you listen to the radio

So snow white in a world of ruin
Will you follow me
Where easterly winds who blew in
Take us out to sea

Why don't you listen to the radio
Why don't you listen to the radio
Too busy talking to be listening
Why don't you listen to the radio

Welcome to the future
We were haunted by the poor
So we decided not to
Believe in ghosts anymore
