I heard you on the wireless back in fifty two
C# G# F# G#
Lying a-wake in bed then tuning in on you
C# F# G#7sus G#7
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through
C# F# G#
Oh - a-oh
C# G# F# G#
They took the credit for your second symphony
C# G# F# G#
Rewritten by machine and new technology
C# F# G#7sus G#7
And now I understand the problems you can see
C# F# G#
Oh - a-oh I met your children
C# F# G#
Oh - a-oh What did you tell them ?

And now we meet in an abandoned studio

We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
C# F# G#7sus G#7
And you remember the jingles used to go
C# F# G#
Oh-a oh You were the first one
C# F# G#
Oh-a oh You were the last one
