I heard you on the wireless back in fifty two
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through
They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine and new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see
Pictures came and broke your heart
And now we meet in an abandoned studio
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember the jingles used to go
We can't rewind we've gone to far
We can't rewind we've gone to far
I heard you on the wireless back in '52
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through
They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine and new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see
Pictures came and broke your heart
And now we meet in an abandoned studio
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember the jingles used to go
We can't rewind we've gone too far
I heard you on the wireless back in '52
Lying awake intently tuning in on you.
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through
Oh, oh,
They took the credit for your second symphony
Re-written by machine, and new technology
And now I understand the problems you could see
Oh, oh,
Oh, oh,
Pictures came and broke your heart.
And now we meet in an abandoned studio.
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember the jingles used to go
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
We can't rewind, we've gone too far
Oh, oh
We can't rewind we've gone too far
