Gossip, gossip

Gossip, gossip



I heard it in the night

Words that thoughtless speak

Like vultures swooping down below

On the devil's radio



I hear it through the day

Airwaves gettin' filled

With gossip broadcast to and fro

On the devil's radio



Oh yeah, gossip

Gossip, oh yeah



He's in the clubs and bars

And never turns it down

Talking about what he don't know

On the devil's radio



He's in your TV set

Won't give it a rest

That soul betraying so and so

The devil's radio



Gossip, gossip

Gossip, gossip

(Oh yeah) gossip, (gossip) oh yeah

(Gossip) oh yeah, (oh yeah) gossip



It's white and black like industrial waste

Pollution of the highest degree

You wonder why I don't hang out much

I wonder how you can't see



He's in the films and songs

And on all your magazines

It's everywhere that you may go

The devil's radio



Oh yeah, gossip

Gossip, oh yeah



Runs thick and fast, no one really sees

Quite what bad it can do

As it shapes you into something cold

Like an Eskimo igloo



It's all across our lives

Like a weed, it's spread

'Till nothing else has space to grow

The devil's radio



Can creep up in the dark

Make us hide behind shades

And buzzing like a dynamo

The devil's radio



(Gossip) oh yeah, (gossip) oh yeah

(Gossip) gossip, (gossip) gossip

Oh yeah, gossip (I heard you on the secret wireless)

Gossip, oh yeah (You know the devil's radio, child)

Gossip, gossip

Gossip, gossip
