Radio Paradise (mobile)

Find yourself a girl and settle down
Live a simple life in a quiet town
Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
So steady as she goes
Your friends have shown a kink in the single life
You've had too much to think, now you need a wife
Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
So steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
Well, here we go again
You've found yourself a friend that knows you well
But no matter what you do
You'll always feel as though you tripped and fell
So steady as she goes
When you have completed what you thought you had to do
And your blood's depleted to the point of stable glue
Then you'll get along
Then I'll get along
Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
So steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
Well, here we go again
You've found yourself a friend that knows you well
But no matter what you do
You'll always feel as though you tripped and fell
So steady as she goes
Steady as she goes
Settle for a world, neither up or down
Sell it to the crowd that is gathered round
Settle for a girl, neither up or down
Sell it to the crowd that is gathered round
So steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
So steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
Steady as she goes, are you steady now?
Steady as she goes, are you steady now?
Steady as she goes, are you steady now?
Steady as she goes, are you steady now?
Steady as she goes

Jack White is one of the best and most exciting dudes to pick up a guitar in a long, long while, and I love how he is slowly but surely becoming an ongoing influence I appreciate more and more, even though I also still cherish the memories of the raw power and playfulness I found in him (and myself upon hearing it) in his early stuff...Steady As She Goes, Jack! and right on, RP! I also always thought that Little Hurricane has shades of this tasty styling under the hood, which is a good thing. [ Reply ]

The Raconteurs... how about the Shakespeares or the Mark Twains? Trip Shakespeare was a very good band that changed their name to Semisonic, and achieved a little more success afterwords. I saw Trip twice in college. I remember wincing when saying their name. I think it hurt them. It shouldn't, but, that's the way it is. [ Reply ]

WonderLizard Jan 11, 2012 - 09:24	The opening (lone bass comping the root chords followed by a guitar doing the same) is eerily similar to Don Dixon's "Praying Mantis." I haven't sat down with me axe to actually compare the chords. 'Twould be interesting. [ Reply ]

No all of us listen to American FM (I can't even if I wanted to) and I quite like this. It seems like a nice little pop song and I for one don't think any the lees of band (or Bill for that matter) for playing pop. [ Reply ]

I think that Jack White would sound better with a more dynamic drummer but it is sort of like Neil Young having Crazy Horse for his band. The Crazy Horse rhythm section is pretty poor also. Flame me! P.S. I like this song and this album a lot plus they have a really good drummer. [ Reply ]

horstman May 20, 2010 - 17:37	Their latest album is so much better. This is good but it is sorta like they are just feeling each other out on this one. The second album clearly shows them as a unit, more cohesive. Plus, the songs are just better, more rockin in that White Stripes way but more sophisticated and layered. [ Reply ]

The Raconteurs... how about the Shakespeares or the Mark Twains? I don't get it - is it not okay for rockers to be intelligent or to use big words? That's not unlike the sentiment of voters who select their elected officials on the basis of whom they'd prefer as a drinking buddy. [ Reply ]
Crawlmeister May 20, 2010 - 12:52	Gets better every time. I hear it in bars all the time now, although this has been out there for a WHILE. [ Reply ]
Carl Apr 18, 2010 - 18:32	I MUCH prefer the acoustic version (even with its screw-up) that iTunes gave away four years back. Allegedly, it was recorded in their garage, but has better sound and more character than this version. [ Reply ]
