Pirate Radio Lyrics

When I was a young boy
I got a new toy
A transistor Radio
I was good to go
From the downbeat of my youth
I was searching for the sound of truth
and it found me, yeah it found me
On my radio
came Wolfman Jack
and I’m never lookin’ back

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh,
Up in my room late at night
I learned everything I know
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh,
That’s where you’ll find me
On Pirate Radio

I heard the sweet Soul Sound
I got my Beatles my Stones down
Learned a little blues rock
Made my new guitar talk
night and day
I was on the outside
Til I found my tribe
Or they found me,
Yeah they found me
On my radio
came Wolfman Jack
And I’m never goin’ back

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Up in my room late at night
I learned everything I know
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh,
That’s where you’ll find me
On Pirate Radio

Hit me like a freight train
Up in my brain
Yeah, like a searchlight lighting up the night
in the summer sky
X.E.R and B
Radio Caroline,
Radio Luxembourg,
Yeah it sounds so fine
On my radio

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Up in my room late at night
I learned everything I know
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh,
That’s where you’ll find me
On Pirate Radio

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, uh huh
Up in my room late at night
I learned everything I know
In mono or stereo
that’s where you’ll find me
On Pirate Radio, Radio

Trashman Lyrics

Hear me rollin'
Down the road
I'm here to help you lighten your load
Let go of that funk
I'll help you separate all your junk

Put it out there
I'll pick it up
I can handle every bit of your stuff
If once a week ain't enough
I'll drop by later
With my big ol' truck

I'm your Trashman baby
And I'm comin' through
To do all the things no one else will do
It'll set you free
You can leave it to me

Cuz I'm your Trashman uh huh, uh huh
I'm your Trashman uh huh, uh huh

Comin' up
Your driveway
When we're done I'll be headed down the highway
You need help
I'm on the scene
It's my job to keep your front yard clean

Throw away all your fears
All your worries, you can leave right here
I can do the heavy lifting
Like no other can
Do anything that the job demands

I'm your Trashman baby
And I'm comin' through
To do all the things no one else will do
It'll set you free
You can leave it to me

Cuz I'm your Trashman uh huh, uh huh
I'm your Trashman uh huh, uh huh

I'm your Trashman baby
And I'm comin' through
To do all the things no one else will do
It'll set you free
You can leave it to me

Cuz I'm your Trashman uh huh, uh huh
I'm your Trashman uh huh, uh huh
I'm your Trashman oh yeah, oh yeah
I'm your Trashman oh yeah, oh yeah
