I stayed with you one hazy night, I couldn't stay for more Your carpet hung upon the wall, your blankets were on the floor Greenwich Village after dark, everyone was free You wanted a guitarist but what you got was me Radio Lady sort my mind out, your fingers go in deep Radio Lady sort my mind out. then we'll go to sleep The clothes store on Eighth Avenue that the Twenties left behind Put leather round my shoulders and spaces in my mind I couldn't walk the streets alone, I don't understand it quite But she took me through the daylight hours And I took you through the night Radio Lady...etc. Low East Midtown afternoon, Channel Nine's too much Needed you there beside me like a cripple needs his crutch Plastic orange tongues of fire, the sun lay on the bed You needed to make musicians, I needed to make bread Radio Lady...etc My Old Lady sorts my mind out, her fingers go in deep My Old Lady sorts my mind out, then we go to sleep (Written by Andy Roberts and published by LIbra Music. From the LP "Everyone" on B&C Records, 1971)
