RADAR LOVE
(George Kooymans - Barry Hay)
GOLDEN EARING (POLYDOR 2050-262, 1973)

I've been drivin' all night
My hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head
That drives my heel
It's my baby callin',
Said; I need you here
And it's a half past four
And I'm shifting gear

When she is lonely
And the longing gets too much
She sends a cable
Coming in from above
Don't need a phone at all

We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a wave in the air
Radar love

The radio's playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong"
The road has got me hypnotized
And I'm a-speeding into a new sunrise

When I get lonely,
And I'm a-sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort comin' in from above
Don't need a letter at all
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a line in the sky...

Woo...
No more speed, I'm almost there
Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care
Last car to pass, here I go
And the line of cars drove down real slow

And the radio played that forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong"
And the newsman sang his same song
Oh, one more radar love is gone

When I get lonely and I'm a-sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort coming in from above
We don't need no letter at all
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a line in the sky
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a thing that's called...
Radar love
