Wxjl Tonight Lyrics - Human League

The way it was in the past 

A long, long time ago 

Before staff levels dropped 

They used to listen to the radio 

And listen to the DJ's talk 

About the songs they didn't know 

As if it really mattered 

Hit-pick or phone-in show 

I don't want you to go tonight 

Ten thousand watts of power 

News headlines on the hour tonight 

Our music beats the best 

You just don't need the rest tonight 

Once I couldn't care at all 

But I can feel the ratings fall tonight 

And 20 years ago 

No-one seemed to care 

The people must have known 

The DJ's role was only there 

To fill in space between the songs 

That talk of love and other things 

As if they didn't matter

Match These Taylor Swift Songs to Her Ex-Boyfriends 

Listen To Sam Smith's Triumphant Return With "Too Good At Goodbyes" 

Watch Beck's Heroic New Music Video For 'Up All Night' 

Automatic stations came 

And sent them all away 

And now I'm left alone 

I haven't got a word to say 

And you're the one who makes the choice 

To turn me on or turn me off 

But now it really matters 

Hit-pick or phone-in show 

I don't want you to go tonight 

Ten thousand watts of power 

News headlines on the hour tonight 

Our music beats the best 

You just don't need the rest tonight 

Once I couldn't care at all 

But I can feel the ratings fall tonight

Hit-pick or phone-in show 

I don't want you to go tonight 

Ten thousand watts of power 

News headlines on the hour tonight 

Our music beats the best 

You just don't need the rest tonight 

Ten thousand watts of power 

News headlines on the hour tonight
