Rumble Lyrics

Got a new haircut
It cost me just six bucks
Filled a plastic bag with the stuff I need in a big dumb car I'm off my knees
Fill it up and make me start again
Ooh it's the rumble and moan
Transistor AM cassette drone
It's the sound without a home address and hydromatic hopelessness
Fill it up and start over again
Yeah fill it up and start over again and again

All night!
R. A. D. I. O.
Hit me hard and hit me low
Static engine blow the scene, rumble in the old machine
R. A. D. I. O.
Ah, hit me just like Lionel Rose
R. A. D. I. O.

I heard stomach and soul
A rumble underneath my toes
And it didn't come with a clear face, designer punk or daily rate
Fill it up and make it start again
Yeah fill it up, don't make me start again and again

All night!
R. A. D. I. O.
Hit me hard and hit me low
Static engine blow the scene a rumble in the old machine
R. A. D. I. O.
Ah hit me just like Lionel Rose

R. A. D. I. O.
A rumble in the old machine
R. A. D. I. O.
A rumble in the old machine
R. A. D. I. O.
Yeah, a rumble in the old machine
R. A. D. I. O.
A rumble in the old machine
Ronnie James D. I. O.

Fell down like Bocephus under all the noise and grease
Automatic mono-style rip me up, monkey style

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

What no posts? You gotta be freakin kidding me. I'm no patriot but all the aussies should be ashamed for their lack of support for local bands, especially the best imo, you am i. Anyway this song along with heavy heart is what got me into you am i. There is a really cool version of this on the bonus disc to convicts which cram from spiderbait sings. that versin has a wolfmotheresque intro which is cool cos it was recorded in 2003 before anyone had ever heard of wolfmother. The song rocks.

Its about listenin to the radio in the car thats what i get from the lyrics but i have a habit of being wrong tho.
