Strona zawiera teksty i polskie tłumaczenie piosenki "The Old Radio", wykonawca: Paul Heaton.
Tekst piosenki
When segregation reigned
It blared out Brother Ray
When original white hoodies marched
It brought us MLK
Carrying story from Seattle
To Miami bay
From the seahawk to the dolphin
Hope was on its way
The night that John F. Kennedy died
I swear the whole bar cried
Crackling in the corner
Whilst all of our tears dried
Cynics knowing smirk
Sat there justified
Our bar room hopes and liquid dreams
Were once again denied
But on the night that Jailhouse Rock first
Tore right up those billboard charts
The night that Hammerin' Hank
Sank those New York Yankee hearts
When Sugar Ray taught KKK
That black was fighting right back
A change was gonna come okay
But not till after this track
The night it roared out loud
When Iwo Jima fell
But not before the Ink Spots sang
Soft but clear as hell
Back when singer had a melody
Radio tale to tell
And transistor was a jukebox
With a lesson in as well
The heartbeat of this place
We thought we’d never lose
The lifeline from the Astor
To the Mississippi blues
From Pearl Harbor’s ships
To Ginger Rogers hips
It took rainy night in Georgia
And placed in dancing shoes

When segregation reigned
/ Align = "left" /
When original white hoodies marched
Przyniósł nam MLK.
Carrying story from Seattle
Do Miami bay
From the seahawk to the dolphin
Hope była w drodze.
W noc śmierci Johna F. Kennedy ' ego
Przysięgam, że cały bar płakał.
Crackling in the corner
While all of our tears such
Cynics knowing smirk
Sat there justified
Nasz pokój w barze nadzieje i płynne marzenia
/ Align = "left" /
Ale w noc, gdy Jailhouse Rock pierwszy
Tore right up these billboard charts
The night that Hammerin ' Hank
Sank those New York Yankee hearts
Kiedy Sugar Ray uczył KKK
Ten czarny się bronił.
A change was gonna come okay
But not till after this track
The night it roared out loud
When Iwo Jima fell
/ Align = "left" /
Miękkie, ale jasne jak diabli.
"Back when singer had a melody"
Radio tale to tell
A tranzystor był szafą grającą.
Z lekcją także
Bicie serca tego miejsca
Myśleliśmy, że nigdy nie przegramy.
Linia życia z Astor
To the Mississippi blues
Ze statków Pearl Harbor
Za Ginger Rogers
To była deszczowa noc w Georgii.
