Radio Paradise (mobile)

If you're scared to die
You'd better not be scared to live
I've been spending all my days
Giving all I can give
Last night I heard someone walk in
Through my bedroom door
What they wanted I'm not exactly sure
A friendly ghost is all I need
A friendly ghost is all I need
Marking time on a broken watch
Counting days till the old pawn shop
Sells me back my saxophone
Then everyone's gonna leave me alone
Two times I thought I heard someone
Knocking on the glass
I hid my head and prayed that it would pass
A friendly ghost is all I need
A friendly ghost is all I need
If you're scared to die
You better not be scared to live
I've been carrying round a grudge
Think I better forgive
Last night I heard footsteps walking
On the attic floor
I got up and I opened up the door
A friendly ghost is all I need
A friendly ghost is all I need
A friendly ghost
''(If you're scared to die)''
Is all I need
''(You'd better not be scared to live)''
A friendly ghost
''(I've been spending all my days)''
Is all I need
''(Giving all I can give)''

andrewimft Apr 12, 2008 - 00:25	Interesting bio on Mark Everett at the Eels entry at wikipedia. I didn't know he was originally performing as the Man Called E. More of a techno pop/Bowie-esque thing then, it made a bit of a splash on FM alt rock radio back in the 90's when that still existed before Clear Channell came along with its bulldozer and levelled those stations to the ground. I really liked that Man called E record. I had no idea he's an Eel now, no wonder I like these slippery Eels. This guy is quite talented. [ Reply ]

I think many Eels songs fall under this category...and those that don't force you into a good mood even if you don't want to be happy. Like early morning Sunny Saturday Song. [ Reply ]
wycado Mar 11, 2008 - 12:44	Not Mr. Everett's best. Why he put a picture of a young Unabomber on the cover with his poodle is a bit of a mystery. [ Reply ]

cvandoren Nov 06, 2007 - 19:33	I'm sorry to say that I really hated that. The music, the silly lyrics, I just didn't get it at all. Would have changed the channel if it were regular radio. [ Reply ]
