Listen to the Radio Songtext
von Pukka Orchestra

Leave the bureau in the snow
Catch a train to Uncle Po
Early evening ring around the moon
Slipping by the Concierge
By the bikes and up the stairs
Snap the latch and creep into the room

Throw off your coat
Pick up the post
Put a coffee on
Lie down on the bed
Lay back your head
Smoke a cigarette

And listen to the radio
Listen to the radio


In the city late tonight
Double feature black and white
Bitter tears and Taxi to the Klo
Find a bar, avoid a fight
Show your papers, be polite
Walking home with nowhere else to go

You throw off your coat
Pick up my note
Put another coffee on
Lie down on the bed
Lay back your head
Smoke another cigarette

And listen to the radio
Listen to the radio

You throw off your coat
Pick up my note
Put another coffee on
Lie down on the bed
Lay back your head
Smoke another cigarette
Smoke another cigarette


Atmospherics after dark
Noise and voices from the past
Across the dial from Moscow to Cologne
Interference in the night
Thousand miles on either side
Stations fading into the unknown

So throw off your coat
Butter some toast
Put another coffee on
We′ll lie down on the bed
Lay back our heads
Smoke another cigarette

And listen to the radio
Listen to the radio
Listen to the radio
Listen to the radio
Listen to the radio
Listen to the radio
