The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Songs they never play on the radio
As the cobwebs fall on the shipping new record
The needle skips a groove
They hate to say
They told you so
But they tell you so
That no-good so-and-so coming round and
Sweet by and by
Just to claim what he claims he's owed but
I know
He's owed
Just about half of nothing at all
What was that song they played
The day you went away
Oh was that song they played
The day you went away
Sing a song about what it's like to knock about with
Somebody who you'd quite like to
Like to knock about with you
Why did you go away
What about that pact we made?
She couldn't stay and why did you go away?
Songs that they
Never play
On your radio
We can download it for free and save some dough
Songs that they
Never play
Play on your radio
You could download it for free and save your soul
Songs they never play on the radio
As the cobwebs fall on the old shipping record
The needle skips a groove
They hate to say
They told you so, they tell you so
That no good so-and-so
But round again so round we go
