Gossip, gossip, gossip, gossip!

1. I heard it in the night, words that thoughtless speak,

Am G Em - G7 C

like vultures swooping down below on the devil´s radio.

Am G C - F G C

I hear it through the day, airwaves getting filled,

Am G Em - G7 C

with gossip broadcast to and fro on the devil´s radio.

G C G C

Oh yeah, gossip, gossip, oh yeah !

Am G C F G C

2. He´s in the clubs and bars, and never turns it down,

Am G Em - G7 C

talking about what he don´t know on the devil´s radio

Am G C F G C

He´s in his TV set and won´t give it a rest,

Am G Em - G7 C

that soul-betraying so and so: the devil´s radio.

It´s white and black like industrial waste,

Runs thick and fast, no one really sees quite what bad it can do,

as it shapes you into something cold like an Eskimo igloo.

4. It´s all across our lives, like a weed it´s spread,

Am G Em - G7 C

till nothing else has space to grow: the devil´s radio.

Am G C F G C

Can creep up in the dark, make us hide behind shades,

Am G Em - G7 C

and buzzing like a dynamo: the devil´s radio.

G C G C

G C

Oh yeah, I heard you on the secret wireless,
