Citizen's Band Songtext

von Super Furry Animals

Tried my hand at the citizen's band
I'm a breaker that breaks
And my handle is goblin
I'm on air and I'm breaking the law
I just switch myself on
And ten-four for a copy

Like a phone, it's a similar thing
Similar thing
To speak to you
It's a beautiful thing
Beautiful thing

Me and you
So many ways to communicate
Me and you
So many ways to communicate
So many ways to communicate
So many ways to communicate what you want to say

There's no way I'll go feeding the bears
I just hit the big slab
Back to my own home twenty
Smokies say I'm a lonely cartel
Don't you worry 'bout me
Cos I'm just a good buddy

Go-go girls, they're a similar thing
Similar thing
Cover me up
'Til we eyeball again
Eyeball again

Me and you
So many ways to communicate
Me and you
So many ways to communicate
So many ways to communicate
So many ways to communicate what you want to say

88 receive me 'til we eyeball again
88 receive me 'til we eyeball again
88 receive me 'til we eyeball again
88 receive me 'til we eyeball again

Mic in hand on the citizen's band
Mic in hand on the citizen's band
Mic in hand on the citizen's band
Mic in hand on the citizen's band
Mic in hand on the citizen's band
Mic in hand on the citizen's band
Mic in hand on the citizen's band
Mic in hand on the citizen's band
