Lyrics
[Chorus]
Gossip, gossip
Gossip, gossip
[Verse 1]
I heard it in the night, words that thoughtless speak
Like vultures swooping down below on the devil's radio
I hear it through the day, airwaves getting filled
With gossip broadcast to and fro on the devil's radio
[Chorus]
Oh, yeah, gossip
Gossip, oh, yeah
[Verse 2]
He's in the clubs and bars and never turns it down
Talking about what he don't know on the devil's radio
He's in your TV set, won't give it a rest
That soul betraying so and so, the devil's radio
[Chorus]
Gossip, gossip
Gossip, gossip
Oh, yeah, gossip
Gossip, oh, yeah
Gossip, oh, yeah
Oh, yeah, gossip
[Bridge]
It's white and black like industrial waste
Pollution of the highest degree
You wonder why I don't hang out much
I wonder how you can't see
[Verse 3]
He's in the films and songs and on all your magazines
It's everywhere that you may go, the devil's radio
[Chorus]
Oh, yeah, gossip
Gossip, oh, yeah
[Bridge]
Runs thick and fast, no one really sees
Quite what bad it can do
As it shapes you into something cold
Like an Eskimo igloo
[Verse 4]
It's all across our lives, like a weed, it's spread
Till nothing else has space to grow, the devil's radio
Can creep up in the dark, make us hide behind shades
And buzzing like a dynamo, the devil's radio
[Chorus]
Gossip, gossip
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
Gossip, gossip
Gossip, gossip
Oh, yeah, gossip
I heard you on Satan's wireless
Gossip, oh, yeah
You know the devil's radio, child
Gossip, gossip
Gossip, gossip
