The End Of Radio (2004 Peel Session)

Is this thing on?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
In session tonight
The ghost of a brilliant man
As we come to the close of our broadcast day
This is my farewell transmission
Signing off and
Mr. and Mrs. America
And all the ships at see
Anyone within the sound of my voice
This is the BBC world service
Is this thing on?
Can you hear me now?
Got 50,000 watts of power
I got my radio on
Out on route 128 in the dark and golden
It's the sound of modern moonlight
Can you hear me now?
It's the end of radio
And we miss it

Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
It's the end of radio
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?

Welcome to your top ten
And this one goes out to a special girl
But is it really broadcasting if there's no one there to receive?
Is the last announcer plays the last record, and
The last watt leaves the transmitter to circle the globe
In search of a listener
Can you hear me now?
It's the end of radio
John Peel was a hell of a man
The session today, it's the end of radio
Can you hear me now?
This microphone turns sound into electricity
I wanna ionize the air!
She said, "not if you were the last man on Earth"
Can you hear me now?

Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
It's the end of radio

This is a test, this is a test
If this had been a real emergency
HEY! HEY!
This is a real goddamn emergency!
It's the end of radio
Is it really broadcasting if there's no one to receive? and
It's just me and my favorite records
You could call it dead air
Think that's rude a bit
Can you hear me now?

Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?

I'd like to thank our sponsor
But there is no sponsor
Martina Navratilova could not get a sponsor
Martina Navratilova, your name is really fun to say
Martina Navratilova, I'll be your sponsor
I wanna sponsor you, Martina Navratilova
Is this thing on?

While Bob's tuning, I can take a question if you have any
Any questions?
Last night's skit, was your vocals, uh, a bit shady?
No, that's just me
Were our vocals crappy last nights-
No, no it's ok, man
Yeah, generally my vocals are crappy
No, no
I thought they were good
