i had my eyes on you for years
and now i've laid aside my fear
they said you'd never go for a guy like me
but this is now and I am here
standing at your window
standing in your yard
throwing stones
i got the radio ready
waiting for your answer
waiting for your voice
all alone
i got the radio ready
you know this place will eat your soul
spend your life in their control
they say I'll never make it out of here alive
but the dice are ours to roll
i'm standing by my car
got the engine running
tank is full of gas
i got the radio ready
waiting for your answer
waiting for your choice
you better move fast
i got the radio ready
(solo)
we've got tonight at our command
now's the time to take my hand
don't look back until we reach the edge of town
ride like hell for the promised land
i'm standing by my car
got the engine running
tank is full of gas
i got the radio ready
waiting for your answer
waiting for your choice
you better move fast
i got the radio ready
standing at your window
standing in your yard
throwing stones
i got the radio ready
waiting for your answer
waiting for your voice
all alone
i got the radio ready

I'm ready for radio
but radio's not ready for me
I'm ready to come through your stereo
but that's not meant to be
I'm ready for the local show
by the midnight DJ
I'm ready for radio
but radio's an unfriendly place
You won't have to pay me a cent
to put me on the air
I'd be happy to know someone's listening
somewhere out there
People would love me on the radio
they'd go out and buy my CDs
they'd crank up their stereos
and share my MP3s
and they'd show up in droves
if you announced my gigs
but they won't dance or sing along
cuz they're all cool indie kids

Radio Ready – the Hell Yeahs
Well you better, better you be ready girl
Synchronizing and sizing ‘em up from the patio
Every angle covered and smothered, can I get it to go?
Got my aerosol, Demerol, wherewithal
Let’s go doll, the mall is closing!
I can be in in a minute
You keep your eyes on the coast
Calm and collected, but the air is electric
And I’m waiting on your signal baby
Well I’m ready, ready now and waiting on
You to give me the “no” or the “go” on the radio
I’m not worried, harried or hurried but I’m starting to think
That security might have made you and me
Let’s go now I’m fully loaded
Good lookin’ you’re lookin’ out
The movin’ is mine
Radio when you’re ready
I’ll meet you baby on the other side
We had rehearsed for the mission
Ran through every possible scenario
Battery’s new, I got it on channel two and
All I get is static, now I’m panicked
I could be out in a minute
I don’t know who’s by the door
Got all the loot and girl I’m ready to scoot
But I’m just waiting on your signal baby
Good lookin’ you’re lookin’ out
The movin’ is mine
Radio when you’re ready
I’ll meet you baby on the other side

Radio Ready by Sven Mullet
Sharon was sublime
She gave me all the signs
But when it came time to go
All she gave me was a line
Lisa had a certain grace
Tattoos and a piercing on her face
But when she smiled I realised
She'll never take me to her place
Heather was a tease
My teenage jerkoff fantasy
I think she wanted to
But she never did, no
She left me hanging in the breeze
"I'm a flower in the sun, delicate
You're not the one
To pull my petals out
And wilt my leaves
You'll never see that part of me"
Jamie I still love you so
I know that you will never know
I don't know why I didn't try harder
You disappeared, where did you go?
"I'm a flower in the sun, delicate
You're not the one
To pull my petals out
And wilt my leaves
You'll never see that part of me"
