When I was young I used to go To my room to listen to the radio In those long days full of hate and lie The songs that I heard made me laugh and cry Night after night I lay alone Caught the words through my headphones Songs of joy and songs of pain Songs to make me love again
Chorus: Private radio - keep it always loud Private radio - has a brilliant sound Private radio - plays whole day and night Private radio - makes me feel alright
And now when I am older and settled down I play the old songs as I drive around The songs that we used to sing at home At the bus stop when you stand alone
