about

"Bitter and twisted", yet appropriate, response to not being welcomed into the warm embrace of the popular broadcast mass media at the very first attempt. A bit of a puerile tantrum set to music.

lyrics

Radio Safe

Hey, sponsor friendly DJ
We’re asking you to play
This little bit of music
That we made the other day.
No need for you to worry
No need for you to pray
Because it’s ‘radio safe’
It’s got nothing to say.

CH:
We are Radio Safe,
We say nothing at all.
We won’t make you think
As you’re having a ball.
We’re on Radio Safe,
Joy without delay
Happy in the morning
And happy all day
With repeats ad infinitum.
We will take your pain away
Tune in to Radio Safe
Safe from troubles & dismay

We don’t sing about the climate
we won’t talk about the poor
we never mention politics
won’t recognise the war
we’ll make you feel nostalgic
for the hits of yesterday
that play on Radio Safe
as we’ve nothing to say.

We’ve avoided all the questions
That we’ll need to ask quite soon
But in the snoozy meantime
We’ll just sing about the moon
We’ll sing about enduring love,
Love lost or unrequited
We’ll keep it ‘radio safe’
No need to get excited

There’s nothing controversial
There’s nothing Socialist.
They’ll play anyone’s request,
If your request is on their list.
They’ll even give you updates
On a sanctioned state of play
We all love Radio Safe
Because it won’t get in the way.

Tom Kingsley Newport, UK

Tom Kingsley (aka Brian Phillips) has been a poet for 50yrs and thinks he might just be getting the hang of it. Always trying to look at life, even the grotesques and gargoyles of the world, with humour, he hopes to bring about regime change, revolution, and the salvation of nature by scribbling a few words and then singing or reciting them into that new fangled gramaphone contraption.
