Wxjl Tonight

The way it was in the past

A long, long time ago

Before staff levels dropped

They used to listen to the radio

And listen to the dj's talk

About the songs they didn't know

As if it really mattered



Hit-pick or phone-in show

I don't want you to go tonight

Ten thousand watts of power

News headlines on the hour tonight

Our music beats the best

You just don't need the rest tonight

Once i couldn't care at all

But i can feel the ratings fall tonight



And 20 years ago

No-one seemed to care

The people must have known

The dj's role was only there

To fill in space between the songs

That talk of love and other things

As if they didn't matter



Automatic stations came

And sent them all away

And now i'm left alone

I haven't got a word to say

And you're the one who makes the choice

To turn me on or turn me off

But now it really matters



Hit-pick or phone-in show

I don't want you to go tonight

Ten thousand watts of power

News headlines on the hour tonight

Our music beats the best

You just don't need the rest tonight

Once i couldn't care at all

But i can feel the ratings fall tonight



Hit-pick or phone-in show

I don't want you to go tonight

Ten thousand watts of power

News headlines on the hour tonight

Our music beats the best

You just don't need the rest tonight

Ten thousand watts of power

News headlines on the hour tonight
