This classic Godley & Creme track is about the impact of Radio Luxembourg on the youth of their day. Radio Luxembourg was a notable forerunner in pirate radio, and had large audiences in Britain & Ireland for its popular entertainment. Radio Luxembourg eventually dissolved on December 30th,...
[Verse 1]
I spend the night with Radio Luxembourg
Pop music crackles me to sleep
I tune the dial to Radio Luxembourg
It's better than counting sheep
[Verse 2]
I wrote away to Radio Caroline
I need to hear your saddest reggae song
And I'll wallow like a zombie in it
Tear up my Ipi Tombi ticket
Let chocolate buttons limbo under my tongue
[Verse 3]
I've never liked the taste of Lucozade
Another sip of hospital champagne
Charge your glasses "Radio Luxembourg"
[Chorus]
Get well soon
Get well soon
Get well soon
[Verse 4]
Am I the only one tuned in to Luxembourg tonight?
Do they only programme music to accompany my cough?
Lousy words and drab percussion
Fading in and out of Russian
I haven't got the strength to turn it off
[Chorus]
Get well soon
Get well soon
Get well soon
Get well soon
Get well soon
Get well soon
[Bridge]
208, Fabulous 208
Fabulous 208, Fabulous 208
Contagious flu cold faint
Contagious flu cold faint
Contagious flu cold faint
Contagious flu
[Verse 5]
I'm getting better thanks to Luxembourg
But I didn't stop to thank the radio
Today when I was downstairs eating
Its Eveready heart stopped beating
Was it just coincidence, who knows?
[Chorus]
Get well soon
Get well soon
Get well soon
Get well soon
Get well soon
Get well soon
