Human League WXJL Tonight lyrics

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

(Night)
Ten thousand watts of power, news headlines on the hour tonight
(Night)

Our music beats the best, you just don't need the rest tonight
(Night)
Once I couldn't care at all but I can feel the ratings fall tonight
(Night)

Hit pick or phone-in show, I don't want you to go tonight
(Night)
Ten thousand watts of power, news headlines on the hour tonight
(Night)

Our music beats the best, you just don't need the rest tonight
(Night)
Ten thousand watts of power, news headlines on the hour tonight
(Night)
