Radio Paradise (mobile)

Said the wait child, magic child, work it on out now work it
The wait child, pinball child, pool hall child hurts
The wait child, pacing child, forth and back now hurts
The wait child, neon light, late night lights hurt
Oh gonna' hurt some child, child
Gonna' hurt some, whoa my baby
Said the wait child, bruised ball child, pride slapped child hurts
The wait child, crest-felled child, tear eyed child hurts
The wait child, bus-stop child, late come child hurts
The wait child, platform walk, idle talk hurts
Oh gonna' hurt some child, child
Gonna' hurt some, whoa my baby
I said child child staring into the street light
Messed up child, lonley boy tonight
Kick the wall, turn the street and back again
Oh boy you've been forgotten (repeat)
Said the wait child, pacing child, forth and back now hurts
The wait child, bus-stop child, late come child hurts
The wait child, pool-hall child, pin-table now hurts
The wait child, magic child, work it on out now work it
Oh gonna' hurt some child, child, child, child, child
Gonna' hurt some, whoa my baby

misterbearbaby Mar 14, 2013 - 13:52	Thanks for playing some real rock-n-roll, I was in a stare resembling light hypnosis from the previous half hour of soft, creamy, adolescent smooth-rock [ Reply ]

A DJ from the radio station I'm listening to (DC101, WHFS, ?) comes into the studio and tell his audience that he's just returned from the GREATEST Rock-n-Roll concert he's ever seen. He then proceeds to play Space Invaders, The Wait and several other ripping songs off this album. It wasn't until the Learning To Crawl tour when I got to experience The Pretenders live. Not the original line-up unfortunately but still one of the top shows I've ever seen. Cool story. I, too, was in my last year in college staying up late trying to finish projects due the next day. They played one side of this album on the local radio station and then had a call-in to win it. I called in and won the album. Had to drive out to the radio station the next day to pick up my album (vinyl, of course). Still have it, still play it. Remember when broadcast radio made a difference? Thank you RP. [ Reply ]
