Radio Paradise (mobile)

If you see something that looks like a star
and it's shooting up out of the ground
and your head is spinning from a loud guitar.
And you just can't escape from the sound
don't worry too much, it'll happen to you
We were children once, playing with toys.

And the thing that you're hearing is only the sound
of the low spark of high-heeled boys.

The percentage you're paying is too high priced
while you're living beyond all your means.
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
from the profit he's made on your dreams.
But today you just swear that the man was shot dead
by a gun that didn't make any noise.
But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest
was the low spark of high-heeled boys.

If you had just a minute to breathe
and they granted you one final wish
would you ask for something, like another chance.
Or something similar as this
don't worry too much, it'll happen to you
as sure as your sorrows are joys.

And the thing that disturbs you is only the sound
of the low spark of high-heeled boys.

The percentage you're paying is too high priced
while you're living beyond all your means
and the man in the suit has just bought a new car
from the profit he's made on your dreams
But today you just swear that the man was shot dead
by a gun that didn't make any noise
But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest
was the low spark of high-heeled boys....high-heeled boys.

If I gave you everything that I own
and asked for nothing in return
Would you do the same for me, as I would for you?
Or take me for a ride
and strip me of everything, including my pride
But spirit is something that no one destroys

And the sound that I'm hearing is only the sound
of the low spark of high-heeled boys.

I have officially checked out. The London broil is done. The garden is watered. Bro is doing whatever he wanted to do, with my permission. The fort is secured. And I just love this song. It has everything I need for a day like I've just had. Thank you, Rebecca and Bill. You're aces. Miss you so much, Cynaera... love this song... [ Reply ]

freddyb Mar 06, 2013 - 01:21	Steve Winwood is one of the greats. He wrote amazing songs at the age of 16 in The Spencer Davis Group. Then came Blind Faith, before Traffic. And he continues to produce wonderful music, to this day. [ Reply ]
Boy_Wonder Feb 19, 2013 - 10:22	According to Wikipedia.... Musically, it is noteworthy for its sparse arrangement and slow deliberate pace alternating with a double-time densely layered pop chorus . The verses are in D minor while the choruses modulate to D major . The song is noted for the repeated piano riff in D Minor. Funny, I always just thought it was a great track! [ Reply ]

WonderLizard Feb 02, 2013 - 17:30	My only complaint about this song is the keyboard tone Winwood deploys. I don't know what I'd replace it with. Something...that's for sure. [ Reply ]

creekgirl Jan 02, 2013 - 09:17	Sublime. Exquisite jazz timing, layers of trance-inducing, sensual rhythm. I have to believe that as long as there is recognition of quality, there will be generations turned on by this. Too bad about the epidemic of ADHD in this comment section. [ Reply ]

joelbb Dec 02, 2012 - 00:46	Proclivities wrote: Bob Dylan had several long tunes as early as Highway 61 Revisited (1965) and even before then, but the first "long" single I can think of came from that album. "Like A Rolling Stone", is over six minutes long and apparently, Columbia was reluctant to release it as a single because of its length. "Desolation Row", from the same album, is over eleven minutes long. As Kurtster mentioned, the album version of The Doors' "Light My Fire" was over seven minutes long, but there were two other, cut-down versions of that tune. There was a "long-radio" version which was about four minutes, and the single (AM radio) version which was less than three minutes long. One of your proclivities must be poorly researched inaccuracy. Dylan's immediately previous album, "Bringing It All Back Home" (March 1965) featured "Gates of Eden" at 5:44, "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream" at 6:34 and "It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleedin')" at a righteous 7:34. You've just been geezered, Dude. [ Reply ]
