She said, "I thought you were dead"
She was singing good and loud
To the songs in her head
She's got Heaven in her pocket
And it jangles with her change
Down a pedestrian thoroughfare
To God's own radio
She said, "nothing ever mattered
'Cos nothing ever changes
All the lies that you wrote
Are ripped from my pages
I don't need you no more
And I'll never look back
'Cos I'm tuned in now
To God's own radio"
There's a sound on the airwaves
That's tripping the scene
We've got the number one song
If you know what I mean
From the back end of nowhere
To Idaho
Hey, look out here we go,
It's God's own radio
Well, I can't abandon
The thought that she's sinking
I look in her eyes
And I know what she's thinking
She says, "hey, you can't touch me,
You aint seen the light"
Hell, you got that right.
On God's own radio
I only met her in the morning
And by ten – fifteen
She was trying to turn me
To the clean–living scene
Well, I made my excuses
Said I had to go
She's got her own show
On God's own radio
There's a sound on the airwaves
That's tripping the scene
We've got the number one song
If you know what I mean
From the back end of nowhere
To Idaho
They don't play Rock and Roll
On God's own radio
...and here I am thinkin' RP was God's Own Radio...
Isn't it?
I smell stale cigarette smoke, vending machine cologne, spilled whiskey and cold sweat. God runs a hell of a place.
YEP! God runs a "Hell of a place"! ...That is where I am going to meet old friends after I die!
...and here I am thinkin' RP was God's Own Radio...
I Agree!!
Everyone asking where the aliens are, I'd love to hear someone singing about radio paradise.
Well, get busy and write a song!!
God's own radio?
Isn't that RP?
Oh, except God wouldn't play Rush.
God: "Seriously? People listen to this?"
That's pretty funny. But I have to say, Moving Pictures is really very good.
Some songs sound alike, some songs are ripped off & some songs have a similar bass line or vocal line. SOOO!
I just spoke to the singer. He feels the same way about you.

I only get that urge with certain instrumental songs.
Isn't that RP?
Oh, except God wouldn't play Rush.
God: "Seriously? People listen to this?"
Well maybe something from their second album.
..... Smithers
Isn't that RP?
...
Just what I was thinking... :)

God: "Seriously? People listen to this?"
Umm....I don't get it :^ / This song is so freakin' cool. Woo hoo. The only thing wrong with it is it's too short.
I get that every time Counting Crows comes up.
It's happening, now immidiately clear the area
On the loose, now escapee a thick skinned ass celebrity
We're getting some reports, he may be going west
But, if you ask me, I saw now the escapee
Rubbing shoulders with Pegasus
Swapping his skin with some wings.
Please disregard the conflicting reports of going into dead poets society,
If you ask me, he never thinks hard enough to ..foxtrot -india - november
( Some static)
Nice comeback for Escape Club. Still love watching the ladies line dance to
"Wild Wild West" at the country bar....
Holy crap!! same band did that song? Hated that song when it came out back in 91 or 92. This one is much much better.
Well, it's okay, but this sucker rocks.
I can't believe I've been listening to this on RP all this time, thinking they were singing "Got some radio." I guess I never looked at the song title until now!
Bingo…
I would agree with that assessment!
SCIENTOLOGY!
Sorry…I was channeling Stingray just then.
that made me laugh...loudly.
Yes, there is a centuries-old tradition of writing songs which were secretly about urination.

Absolutely - that's a Number 2

Lovin the gag and the song. How old is this thing?
Why does he say "if you know what I mean"? That implies that what he actually means is something else? Is "Number One song" a euphemism for something?!?

You're assuming this wonderful piece of pop fluff was written with lyrical meaning? I'm just going to assume it fills in the meter and rhyme scheme -- and that's it.
I'm thinking an 8 is appropriate. Got my feet moving under the desk, and acted as a nice little 'palate cleanser', if you know what I mean.
marvelous...
And Jane's Addiction
...with some Gary Myrick and the Figures thrown in for good measure.
We be dancing to "God's Own Radio"... everybody in my church loves this song...
Instant 8 on first listen.
Reminds me of a track by "The Sandmen".
Hmm no English wiki so you will have to use translate https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sandmen
We need more movies like this: sheer goddamned fun and all go.

I suspect he is genuinely asking a question.
As clearly he hasn't the foggiest notion as to what he "means".
Why?

It may just be in there to get the rhyme with "trippin' the scene."
OMG. Did you really have to remind us?
Love the huge turnaround, Escape Club. Keep it coming. (BTW, always enjoyed Wild Wild West when it came on the radio, now reading on Wikipedia that it was banned in the UK for being sexist and offensive? Where was I?)
A trend seems to be happening here.
touche...
But RP plays Rock and Roll!!!
Ain't it the truth!!!

Nice info - thanks!
The radio has been many wonderful things to many people over the duration of its existence. Mostly fantastic "theater of the mind" . In my day...we bought them from department stores and they were larger than a shoebox and smaller than a microwave oven and we would carry them on our shoulders close to our ears loud enough to drown out the immediate surrounding urban noise. Of course,everyone within a 100' radius would be subjected to the radio's theater as well. We also bought a lot of cassette tapes to be played on the radio device (carried in purse like satchel on opposing hip for counterbalance) and twice as many D-cell batteries to play radio. AHH, the good ole' days of yore. Atari, IROCS and Zima.
agreed. OVER played
DEFINITELY!

Apparently it's 2/4 of the original band.
I must be taller than you
I just spoke to the singer. He feels the same way about you.
