Oh Yeah Roxy Music Brian Ferry Some expression in your eyes Overtook me by surprise Where was I how was I to know' How can we drive to a movie show When the music is here in my car There's a band playing on the radio With a rhythm of rhyming guitars They playing Oh Yeah on the radio And so came to be our song And so on through all summer long Day and night drifting into love Driving you home from a movie show So in tune to the sounds in my car There's a band playing on the radio With a rhythm of rhyming guitars They playing Oh Yeah on the radio It's some time since we said goodbye And now we lead our separate lives But where am I where can I go' Driving alone to a movie show So I turn to the sounds in my car There's a band playing on the radio With a rhythm of rhyming guitars There's a band playing on the radio And it's drowning the sound of my tears They're playing Oh Yeah on the radio
