Well, I met her Sunday morning
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
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

On God’s own radio

From the back end of nowhere
To Idaho
They don’t play Rock and Roll

That implies that what he actually means is something else? Is "Number One song" a euphemism for something?!? I suspect he is genuinely asking a question. As clearly he hasn't the foggiest notion as to what he "means". |

| bhallmark (I really can see Russia (well, the embassy anyway) from my house!) | Posted: Aug 01, 2012 - 18:49 Wow. These guys certainly have evolved. Unless "Wild Wild West" was not indicative of their sound at the time. 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?) |

| Xtrachill | Posted: Apr 20, 2012 - 23:44 Went to see them last night at The Mint in LA, they were awesome!!! Hope they do more gigs soon. |
| citybiker (Chicago) | Posted: Apr 18, 2012 - 10:36 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. |

| scraig (Santa Barbara, CA) | Posted: Apr 04, 2012 - 12:05 I'm still trying to figure out how this is the same band made popular by "Wild, Wild West" in the 80s. |
| jnesser | Posted: Apr 04, 2012 - 11:59 This is played way too much on here! 14 times in the past month??? |
| DigitalJer (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) | Posted: Apr 03, 2012 - 09:45 Pretty sure RP is God's Own Radio!! |

| alias2u2 | Posted: Mar 27, 2012 - 21:28 Very cool track that I would call Modern Blues Rock like the new Black Keys or Jack White with humrous lyrics. |
| kitttie | Posted: Mar 22, 2012 - 16:36 A fabulously catchy tune! These guys are back in a major way. |
| broberson | Posted: Mar 22, 2012 - 11:49 Great song! One of many on this album. The Escape Club is back and they haven't wavered. The sound is still refreshing, youthful and timeless. People of any age would enjoy this album. |
