Harrison, George - Devil's Radio Lyrics






Gossip, gossip
Gossip, gossip

I heard it in the night
Words that thoughtless speak
Like vultures swooping down below
On the devil's radio

I hear it through the day
Airwaves gettin' filled
With gossip broadcast to and fro
On the devil's radio

Oh yeah, gossip
Gossip, oh yeah

He's in the clubs and bars
And never turns it down
Talking about what he don't know
On the devil's radio

He's in your TV set
Won't give it a rest
That soul betraying so and so
The devil's radio

Gossip, gossip
Gossip, gossip
(Oh yeah) gossip, (gossip) oh yeah
(Gossip) oh yeah, (oh yeah) gossip

It's white and black like industrial waste
Pollution of the highest degree
You wonder why I don't hang out much
I wonder how you can't see

He's in the films and songs
And on all your magazines
It's everywhere that you may go
The devil's radio

Oh yeah, gossip
Gossip, oh yeah

Runs thick and fast, no one really sees
Quite what bad it can do
As it shapes you into something cold
Like an Eskimo igloo

It's all across our lives
Like a weed it's spread
'till nothing else has space to grow
The devil's radio

Can creep up in the dark
Make us hide behind shades
And buzzing like a dynamo
The devil's radio

(Gossip) oh yeah, (gossip) oh yeah
(Gossip) gossip, (gossip) gossip
Oh yeah, gossip I heard you on the secret wireless
Gossip, oh yeah You know the devil's radio, child
Gossip, gossip
Gossip, gossip

  4. G.... C....

    Oh shit it's Eric Clapton at there....

  5. J.... ....

    Gigantesco Guitarrista, cantor e compositor! George Harrison sempre esteve no mesmo nível de John e Paul. The Beatles não seriam The Beatles sem a magia e o solo deste Grande Músico!

  6. j.... f....

    Nice to see Andy Fairweather who's led quite an unusual career from front man in a very successful 60's band, then solo performer and sometimes side man with people like Eric Clapton.

  7. a.... m....

    "Don't be a broadcaster."

  8. A.... C....

    I miss you George Harrison :(

  9. R.... A....

    Great stuff!!! :)

  10. �.... �....

    Сплетни, сплетни
    Сплетни, сплетни

    Я слышал их ночью
    Слова, которые бездумно говорятся
    Как стервятники, устремляющиеся вниз
    На чёртовом радио

    Я слышу их на протяжении дня
    Радиоволны заполняются
    Вещанием сплетен туда-сюда
    По чёртовому радио

    О да, трёп
    Трёп, о да

    Он в клубах и барах
    И никогда не смолкает
    Говорят о том, чего не знают
    На чёртовом радио

    Он в вашем телевизоре
    Не даст ему отдохнуть
    Та душа всё продаётся и продаётся
    Дьявольское радио

    Трёп, трёп
    Трёп, трёп



    Он белый и чёрный, как индустриальный мусор
    Загрязнение высокой степени
    Вам интересно, почему я не требую много
    Мне интересно, как вы не можете понять

    Это в фильмах и песнях
    И во всех ваших журналах
    Это повсюду, куда вы можете пойти
    Чёртово радио

    Трёп
    Трёп

    Бежит жирно и быстро, никто не замечает
    Какой вред он может причинить
    Он придаёт вам холода,
    Как иглу эскимоса

    Оно с нами по жизни
    Как сорняк разрастается
    Ничему другому нет места расти
    Это дьявольское радио

    Может красться в темноте
    Заставляет нас прятаться за тенями
    И трещит как динамо-машина
    Это чёртово радио

    Да, да
    Трёп, трёп
    Трёп, я слышал тебя в секретных сигналах
    Трёп, да, ты знаешь дьявольское радио, сын
    Трёп,
    трёп

    2019
    When God is one of your lead guitarist! George the Legend!

  12. G.... M....

    george keeps looking over at the blonde...i bet george was boning that babe....even his wife olivia said george was a philanderer...thats why he was my main nigga....most wives should understand that a real man must spread his seeds to many ladies not just his wife....as long as he come home to her..it should be cool

  13. J.... E....

    It's a great song that sparks joy to all listeners

  14. t.... ....

    Thank God the Beatles broke up - this is when George came alive! George was stifled by the Beatles manage, Paul and John.

    t.... ....

    tommysfather Hardly. He only came into his own as a songwriter in 68/69.

  15. C.... L....

    Who is the woman in the video? Looks familiar.

  16. H.... F....

    Mr Harrisong had 2 very good teachers...

  17. M.... M....

    Great video - to see George on video - what a talent - I know he is missed!!

  18. E.... T....

    George 4 EVER!!!!

  19. W.... B....

    Great to see George Harrison, Eric Clapton and Andy Fairweather Low!

  20. J.... ....

    Excellent, great song, great performance

  21. M.... T....

    does anyone know the name of the incredible blonde girl in backing vocals ?

  22. S.... F....

    O George estava de olho na loira!

  23. e.... ....

    Where is Jeff Lynne??

  24. A.... U....

    Hea mees oli on jääb...

  25. W.... R....

    Criativo, inteligente!!! é demais...

  26. M.... A....

    "The Devil's Radio" George Harrison at his best! I remember some idiotic critic saying how the Cloud 9 album was a down to earth disappointment. Can't remember the critic's name, guess he was "talkin' about what he don't know on the Devil's Radio..."

  27. r.... ....

    Long live George!!!

  28. R.... P....

    Wicked clever work here!!!

  29. M.... C....

    brilliant

  30. �.... �....

    Обожаю Джорджа! Он гениальный мелодист, голосовые модуляции, контрапункты - гениально... Другое слово здесь не подходит никак. Просто , но гениально... Дорогой Джордж, жаль, что ты так рано нас покинул :'-(

  31. D.... 5....

    I remember mr. George...this music....God bless, l am your old fan

  32. R.... P....

    Eso es Música. No como la basura de hoy. George Harrison no debió morir, en su lugar debieron morirse todos los reguetoneros y vivir más este genio.

  33. b.... ....

    George Harrison: to sum George up, he is surely a man of The Spirit... Still. The Spirit never dies, thus George Harrison lives on, and on, and on eternally.
    I only hope to be the best person that I can be; just like George Harrison. Perhaps, one day, I will have the privilege of thanking him for his positive influence. But, for now, George, rest in peace.
    Eighteen years is just a blink of an eye to not be earthbound, but it feels so long a time; yet I know that you are always here in Spirit that is ever palpable, George.
    Thank you for being George Harrison!

  34. w.... ....

    Tight band!

  35. R.... S....

    Who is the blonde lady? she looks familiar.

  36. B.... G....

    Just a perfect underrated song by a perfect underrated artist

  37. C.... M....

    George Harrison semplicemente un Beatle !!!

  38. T.... G....

    Eric's fills are some of the best he's done.

  39. D.... P....

    Reee Likeee ...

  40. r.... ....

    Random thought: George started performing live on a regular--grueling, really--basis when he was 17 years old, and yet he said he *still* got nervous for shows, even in the 80s, when he had been performing for 30 years (albeit on a much rarer basis after the Beatles stopped touring)! Makes me feel a little better about being almost totally unable to play guitar in front of more than 3-4 people. My fingers literally shake so much that I can't physically play. XD

  41. R.... B....

    Amazing. Saudades.

  42. G.... F....

    Please take my money for this full concert on video.

  43. M.... A....

    When will this video ever be released??

  44. R.... G....

    Great album by George, even though I thought he looked kinda old on the cover.Now I am older than he was then, don't think he was old any longer.:)

  45. R.... G....

    I was 17 when the album "Cloud Nine" came out. It was the first one I bought with my own money (on vinyl!) and I listened to it so much. I heard "Got my mind set on you" on the radio and went to get the record right away. Now I don't even have a turntable to listen to it! :)

  46. A.... M....

    just why have the Japan concerts never been released on dvd ??

  47. H.... F....

    You can tell he is as humble as man can be just by looking at his face.

  48. C.... ....

    My favorite song from Cloud Nine.

  49. A.... M....

    Don’t be a broadcaster😱

  50. j.... ....

    Love this thanks George!! 😎

  51. A.... M....

    high time this was released on dvd

  52. j.... h....

    Su sentido musical fue mejor que J y P en solitario (en conciertos )

  53. C.... Q....

    Rockeramente George 🎼💞🎸

  54. C.... Q....

    Amo El Rock And Roll;Amo A George;Amo esta belleza de tema

  55. R.... M....

    When an where was this performance? Is there a place to buy the concert video?

  56. f.... a....

    Blu-ray please!

  57. j.... m....

    killer telecaster that is

  58. M.... D....

    What I like about Eric Clapton is he never tried to show up George. He actually liked being a backup player. Something that probably sat well with George. I see why that was one of the reason's they got along so good. Apart from them being Husband in laws.

    M.... D....

    I would think it's great fun for EC to just be in the background and add solo's and fills like this. Lord knows he's had his share of the spotlight.

    M.... D....

    George done well marrying the lovely olivia, have you seen the state of patti boyd now? Looks a right hag

    M.... D....

    @Anthony Pecora. Yes, he has had his share, that's for sure. I know he gave George his Red Gibson Les Paul, which George kept in his collection. Quite the guy to do that since he did love that guitar but he loved Georges friendship way more than a guitar. He also bought Jimi Hendrix a left handed Stratocaster for his birthday but Jimi died before he could give it to him. Classy guy. I heard that Clapton never really liked being a front-man & it took years before he felt ok with using his name, hence Derick & the Dominoes.

    M.... D....

    George was the same way! Never one to want to be the center of attention.

    M.... D....

    @roomandaroom Cute, Shy George. Rest in Peace, Dear 👼. God Bless.

  59. a.... m....

    you know he died of lung cancer, don't you;which migrated to his brain, maybe why that's he could not belt it out, even with the intense emotion the lyrics inspire.would that this was played to replace the so-called 'liberal' cable channels....remember that band which named themselves TALKING HEADS.......

    a.... m....

    alistair mann
    He did not have cancer when he did this. Do some research, learn the freaking timeline.

  60. C.... M....

    Devil's Radio issued on Cloud Nine is a futuristic song about what it was, what it is and what is going to be the gossip around the planet. Very important song written by George which make us meditate about Evil and Good. Thank you, George. Love you forever..! And thanks to all those great performers joining him in this magnificent Tour in Japan..! George will never die; I'm sure he's still on at the Heavenly Musicians' Organization (HMO)...

  61. R.... P....

    Why is this entire concert not out on Blu-ray?

    R.... P....

    I think Dhani and Oblivia are just lazy. People get on Yoko's case for what she's does with John's stuff, but at least she puts stuff out. Other than two box sets (with nothing new on them), A new concert for George set (not needed if you have the original), they have done very little. (Early Takes was good, but too short)

    R.... P....

    You don't know that for sure. For one, Dhani has his own musical career. Why should he spend all his time remastering and releasing his father's music, when we already have so much George stuff? And I say this as someone who adores George. You also don't know what George's wishes were. I'm sure he wrote it all down in his will. Maybe he only wanted certain things released.

  62. P.... B....

    I love this song. It is the truth. Gossiping can do so much damage. It can ruin lives., especially if it isn't true. George is so cool to write a song about it. I am still jealous of that blond flirting with my true love.

  63. S.... p....

    He looks bored... why bother you are boring us

    S.... p....

    S p
    Nobody asked you anything. Go back under your bridge, troll.

  64. z.... ....

    Nobody plays like Clapton ,Why do you think George let him hang around

  65. z.... ....

    George Rocks, the best Beatle

    z.... ....

    Zecom7, during the height of Beatlemania, George Harrison was always my favorite Beatle. He is unique of Spirit.
    Fortunately, I had the opportunity to to see him perform on three occasions: with The Beatles at DC Stadium; then, at both concerts For the People of Bangaladesh.
    What a beautiful Spirit! I was blessed to see George Harrison perform live on three momentous occasions. The absolute thrill of my life!

  66. H.... B....

    First and only time Eric Clapton played the guitar very well

    H.... B....

    YEA HE COULD HAVE BEEN GOOD

  67. w.... ....

    Miss him a lot

  68. a.... n....

    Devil's Radio Is A Masterpiece And Great Wonderful Song By George Harrison.

    a.... n....

    atech nasus, you are definitely correct!

    a.... n....

    you must be under mind control, this is a shitty song

  69. g.... h....

    Love this slightly unappreciated classic!

  70. R.... F....

    grandeeeee

  71. E.... J....

    george forever

  72. G.... R....

    Anyone know what strato fender (year / model) george is using?

    G.... R....

    Pretty sure it's a Roy Buchannon Tele

  73. E.... J....

    SIMLEMENTE GEORGE

  74. J.... T....

    George always made sure his great friend and brother Clapton played a major role in everything they did together. Great love between these two guitarists. Harrison was one of the most self-deprecating and humble people in entertainment.

    J.... T....

    Well said, and very true!

  75. j.... j....

    George Harrison -Foreve!!!

  76. L.... P....

    George was a very smart man, rest in peace

  77. P.... a....

    I love George Harrison he was so handsome and he has such beautiful brown eyes and that smile of his could melt your heart love and miss you sweet george Harrison you are loved and missed tears are streaming down my face rest in peace

  78. B.... W....

    ... he was good - beyond good ... why did he leave us so soon ???

    B.... W....

    All things must pass, as George said on his first album. Difficult to understand but that's the way of nature.

    B.... W....

    smoked too many cigs

    B.... W....

    It was George's time to find Enlightenment. George Harrison always knew that All Things Must Pass.

    B.... W....

    Chainsmoking for forty years didn’t help.

  79. v.... ....

    Man he was right..Reporters should hang.;all of them..

    v.... ....

    He wouldn't have gone that far. Nice thought though.

  80. C.... O....

    He held.the.fake news in disdain.

  81. M.... J....

    It's a good thing that these shows were filmed (the 1991 Tokyo tour) since no one knew this would be George's last tour.

    M.... J....

    Wish Olivia would release the whole concert.

    M.... J....

    @newms69 i think it was released on vhs but i think it has to do with rights or the footage and such.

  82. R.... S....

    Sweet, sweet George!! What a Great Musician! What a Beautiful Person!! RIP!

  83. R.... K....

    George and Eric - one of the best combos ever!

    R.... K....

    Patty agrees!!! lol

    R.... K....

    Joel Espedal, your remark was so incredibly witty: short, sweet, creative, concisely worded, and from a humourous point of view that is wasted on so many Sheeple. I just want for you to know that you just made a spectacular ending to a mundane day.

    R.... K....

    @banzai0212 Awesome!!!! Glad I could help.. a little

    R.... K....

    Joel, a very cool thumbs up!

    R.... K....

    George and jeff

  84. m.... ....

    why this video does not have more views

  85. D.... G....

    George, loved you since we first saw you on Sullivan's stage.

    D.... G....

    My sentiments, exactly, D Gardner! Something in the way he moved....
    I was privileged to attend three of George Harrison's concerts: with The Beatles at DC Stadium, and both Concerts for the People of Bangaladesh. The biggest thrills of my life! Especially after George became a solo musician. The man is an awesome Spirit! Too bad that more of mankind is not more like Harrison.

  86. d.... ....

    What a tune! Melody and lyrics spot on. I miss you George.

    d.... ....

    drbombay91765
    Nowadays "the devil's radio" is the internet. Oh if George was here to see it....

    d.... ....

    If George was here to see he'd have some choice words to say about it and the world may be the better for it

    d.... ....

    George was around for a lot of the internet, just not YouTube. He did an online chat in 2000/2001.

  87. 3.... P....

    little did they know how much worse gossip on the internet was going to be.

    3.... P....

    Oh, but I think that George Harrison knew how malicious that mankind can be. Thus, The Devil's Radio.
    George Harrison had a way about him that attracted me like no other.
    But, you are correct: Vitriol is rampant.

  88. R.... H....

    aweful singer

    R.... H....

    Yes, he is awesome.

    R.... H....

    Rene Hernandez is "aweful" at spelling.

    R.... H....

    Funny you mention it, Rene. If George is a 'lousy singer', Bob Dylan voice is a bucket full of crap. I guess that makes George and Bob lousy musicians, eh? Let me let you in on a little 'secret'. The Beatles used a lot of 3 part harmony. You take George's voice out of the mix...who blended in perfectly with his baritone to John and Paul...and you have a huge missing part. Listen carefully to HELP! next time you hear it on the radio. That is not Paul singing the counter lead to John's vocal. it's George...with that distinctive, Beatles voice. Listen to Because off Abbey Road...that lovely, lush 3 part harmony would not be the same without George's vocal. Class dismissed. Make sure to do your homework, sweetie.

    R.... H....

    don riley damn so true! I’ve been noticing the awesome third part harmony that George added on so many of the old Beatles songs!!

  89. M.... R....

    Arent the bassist and rhytam Guitar playing also for clapton??

    M.... R....

    audi presley Hey man thnx for the info , it is truly useful. I did not know that details.

    M.... R....

    The bass player is Nathan East, who also played for Clapton for his Unplugged performance, at the very least.

    M.... R....

    Andy Fairweather-Lowe, yes, on rhythym guitar. Nathan East on bass...longtime part of Erics band...Unless Greg Phillingames didn't grow long hair, that might be him on keyboards.

    M.... R....

    George toured Japan with Eric and Eric's backing band.

  90. c.... ....

    No Twitter when he wrote this song. lol

    c.... ....

    cricketbat09, thank you for the hearty laughter! You have made my day! All because of your connection of social media and my idol, George Harrison, as to the way mankind should live. Clearly, you get it, and the ironies of life.

    c.... ....

    Even had there been Twitter, it's highly doubtful that George Harrison would be a tweeter. I am being sarcastic, too.
    But, seriously, George wouldn't be. George walked the talk that he talked. The man was all about Love in its purest form so much so that his final three words of earthly existence were, "Love one another".
    I enjoyed your comment. Thanks;

  91. d.... ....

    its good to see eric clapton in the back ground he noes who the main man is

    d.... ....

    Eric was one of George's best friends no upstaging from mates

    d.... ....

    In your opinion. I love both, but Clapton is the man. It was a bit embarrassing at these shows when EC got a much more rousing welcome than George. Eric talked George into doing these shows, because he wanted to see him play in front of an audience again, and his band was well rehearsed and ready.

    d.... ....

    Michael Kaylor Eric no matter who he’s playing with then and now always gets the loudest cheers so it’s really not a reflection on whoever he’s playing with it’s just that he’s that revered even by his peers. Not to mention he’s the only 3 time RnR HOF inductee whatever that’s worth.

  92. d.... ....

    its good to see george on form here his into it

  93. L.... F....

    Gossip, the devil's radio. Don't be a broadcaster.

    L.... F....

    Linda Forgiarini
    Nowadays, "the devil's radio" is the internet.

  94. D.... L....

    can't we just have the full concert??

    D.... L....

    put it out on dvd NOW!

    D.... L....

    C'mon Olivia/Universal - Release this .... the world needs it.

    D.... L....

    From what I've read, the only footage they have is what was displayed on the big screen at the concerts. I'd be completely happy with that! But that's why they've only released videos for 4-5 songs.

    D.... L....

    Yeah, they need to release the Complete Show! I’d buy it on DVD or download it! I always liked George the best! He never got the attention the other two got but he wrote great songs also!

  95. W.... S....

    eric clapton did right on lead guitar!

    W.... S....

    I think it is Chuck Leavell

    W.... S....

    Yeah it's Chuck Leavell

    W.... S....

    Clapton is on the other guitar, look at min 1:00

    W.... S....

    He never did it wrong.
