Marconi's Radio Lyrics
Guglielmo Marconi invented the wireless telegraph, rightfully nicknamed 'Marconi's Radio'
i thought the last lyric was : "marconi didn't make the radio for me to stay home and say so"
also, to Fryie, there are two songs w/Marconi in the title [off the same album]- this one and the reprise, which is just a calypso steel-drum sounding instrumental. you need to get this one cause it's better.
annnnnd... this song is awesome.
It's about waking up and realizing you're wasting your life dreaming. You have no right to complain things don't happen for you if you don't set things in motion yourself.
Is it possible that there are two tracks named "Marconi's Radio"? 'Cause the one I have here is just instrumental and only 2:46 long.
this song is a tribute to marconi for creating the radio but within this tribute they tap into the spiritual relm as well as relationship stuff, yeah im fucked up right now but its cool i can do this, the whole instrumental beginning is really the best part, leading up to the lyrics witch are freakin awesome, one of teh best songs an A+ on my list.
the last line is incorrect on this too, its "Marconi did make the radio, for me to stay home and say so"
This song shows me how inspired and energized the machines were at first. Great lyrics about being in search for something (maybe a greater good), very adholescent/pre-collegesque, liberal ideas. But altogether great, because when so many young kids are thinking like that, they need a muse. My favorite part of the song is 'You get scared and I get angry, (at) Being lost, feeling lazy, Not at all like you, Not you". Thanks TSM. Sorry that your latest work (Ten Silver Drops) sucks so bad.
