The Stranglers — Retro Rockets

Remember when you could hear the sound of your life on the radio Tiny little speakers filled the room, and your head, and you let it go Nobody ever plays the songs anymore The ones that really hit your heart at the core And I don't think that I can take it any more, retro rockets Where's the melody, that means so much to me Where's the identity, that's been eluding me I know what I wanna hear, an I don't wanna lose it Too much static in my ear from the people who cruise it Remember how you could turn the day into gold When you touched that dial And someone that you'd never know Raised the roof an it made you smile Now I listen and it all sounds the same Music by numbers and you're playing the game And if you hear to much It'll drive you insane, retro rockets Am I the only one, that wants to hear a song That I can still recall, with great lucidity I know what I wanna hear, an I don't wanna lose it Too much static in my ear from the people who cruise it Where's the melody, that means so much to me Where's the identity, that's been eluding me I know what I wanna hear, an I don't wanna lose it There's too much static in my ear from the people who cruise it I know what I wanna hear, an I don't wanna lose it There's too much static in my ear from the people who cruise it Retro rockets Retro rockets
