You can't say crap on the radio - (bonus track)


Oh flip oh gosh oh golly gee
We really shocked the local rock disc jock
Oh crumbs oh boy oh sugar me
The poor bloke nearly went right off his block
We only told him what we did and didn't like
And then we used that word and he jumped on the mike

You can't say that on the radio
You can't say that on the radio
Yes we all do it but you can't refer to it
You can't say that on the radio

Oh flip oh gosh oh golly gee
We said the word and got our knuckles rapped
But if he didn't want to know
Why did he ask our views on all that crap?
Oh now we've done it and we've really got it wrong
Not even Uncle John will get to play this song

'Cause you can't say crap on the radio
You can't say crap on the radio
We all do it but you can't refer to it
You can't say crap on the radio

Of course we teach freedom of speech
But say as we say and not what we preach
We know your sort you little guttersnipe
Don't give us none of that shit

Oh flip oh gosh oh golly gee
But now we know how we touched a sore spot
Oh crumbs oh boy oh sugar me
It's plain to see what got him bothered and hot
We thought that it was just something that you said
But then we realized it was all he played

'cause he can play crap on the radio
You can play crap on the radio
Be careful what you say
And you can play shit all day
You can play crap on the radio

Crapital radio

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics YOU CAN'T SAY CRAP ON THE RADIO - (BONUS TRACK) of STIFF LITTLE FINGERS is also present in the album Nobody's heroes (1980)

Biografia

Stiff Little Fingers are a Northern Irish punk rock band from Belfast, formed in 1977. They started out as a schoolboy band called Highway Star (named after the Deep Purple song) doing rock covers, until they discovered punk. They split up after six years and four albums, although they reformed five years later, in 1987. Despite major personnel changes, they are still touring and recording as of 2010. Jake Burns, their lead singer, is the only member to have been with the band during all its incarnations, although in March 2006, original bass guitarist Ali McMordie rejoined them following the departure of The Jam bass player Bruce Foxton after fifteen years.
