The version that appears on the CD1, the vinyl of the single and ‘Senor Smoke’ has a slightly slower tempo and a different lyric order to that of the promo of ‘Radio Ga Ga’ (the rock radio edit)
Length: 3:55
[Electronic] Radio!
I sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage life
And everything I need to know
I heard it on my radio
You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars and worlds invaded by mars
You made us laugh
You made us cry
You made us feel… like we could fly
So don’t become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don’t know
And just don’t care
And just don’t play when you’re not there
You have the time
You have the power
You’re yet to have your finest hour
Radio
[Electronic] Radio
All we hear is radio ga ga!
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga!
Radio blah blah
Radio was new
Radio someone still loves you
Hey!
We watched the stars
We watched the Sun
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
Our music changes through the years
Let’s hope we’ll never
Leave old friends
Like all good things on you we depend
So stick around ‘cause we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this vision
You have the time
You have the power
You’re yet to have your finest hour

[Electronic] Radio
All we hear is radio ga ga!
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga!
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga!
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga!
Radio blah blah!
Radio was new
Radio someone still loves you
