Super Furry Animals lyrics - The Citizens Band The Citizens Band

Tried my hand at the citizens band
I'm a breaker that breaks and my handle is goblin
I'm on air and I'm breaking the law
I just switch myself on and ten-four for a copy

Like a phone
It's a similar thing, similar thing
To speak to you
It's a beautiful thing, beautiful thing

Me and you, so many ways to communicate
Me and you, so many ways to communicate
So many ways to communicate
So many ways to communicate what you want to say

There's no way I'll go feeding the bears
I just hit the big slab back to my own home twenty
Smokey says "I'm a lonely cartel
Don't you worry about me coz I'm just a good buddy"

Go-go girls
They're a similar thing, similar thing
Cutting me up
'Til we eyeball again, eyeball again

Me and you, so many ways to communicate
Me and you, so many ways to communicate
So many ways to communicate
So many ways to communicate what you want to say

Eighty-eight receive me 'til we eyeball again (X4)

Mic in hand on the citizens band (X8)

(Black stallion, black stallion do you copy?
Do you copy black stallion?
Black stallion do you copy me black stallion?)

Notes:
This track was supposedly featured on the NME compilation 'The Bands Who' (January 2000). Listed as The Citizens Band, it looks like the NME screwed up and put Chewing Chewing Gum (Reprise) on instead. The mistake wasn't noticed until annoyed SFA fans started to write in!
