Lyrics
I didn't have the heart to tell you what no one else will say
I couldn't bring myself to tell you something that others avoid saying
You've got a face for radio, it's the only way you're going to play
Your appearance is better suited for radio, and that's the only platform you should pursue
Your face lacks perfect symmetry, but you need to be on TV
Your face lacks perfect symmetry, but the desire is for you to be on television
But there are lots of options out there where you can stay off the screen
There are alternative roles where you don't have to be on screen
Like grip, best boy, or part of the roadie team
Suggesting alternative roles like grip, best boy, or part of the roadie team
The perfect voice to man the mike
Describing the ideal voice for handling the microphone
And spin the records people like
The importance of having a pleasing voice for playing records that people enjoy
It's important now that you get backstage
Emphasizing the need for you to be backstage, not on the forefront
We don't want the fans to think you're part of the band
Avoiding giving the impression that you are part of the band
Maybe it's best if you just warm up the van
Suggesting that warming up the van might be a more suitable role
You've got a face for radio, it's the only way you're going to play
Reiteration of the idea that your appearance is better suited for radio
We don't want the fans to think you're part of the band
Emphasizing the need to avoid the perception that you're part of the band
Maybe it's best if you just warm up the van
Reiterating the suggestion that warming up the van might be more fitting
You've got a face for radio, it's the only way you're going to play
Reiteration of the idea that your appearance is better suited for radio
We don't want the fans to think you're part of the band
Emphasizing the need to avoid the perception that you're part of the band
Maybe it's best if you just warm up the van
Reiterating the suggestion that warming up the van might be more fitting
Have you considered adoption? Or pressing your face against the stove
Suggesting unconventional alternatives like adoption or extreme actions due to appearance
One gets a family that wants you
Implying that being part of a family is more achievable than being accepted by the crew
The guys in the crew are just glad that you drove
Suggesting that the crew appreciates your contribution as a driver
Maybe you would've made it big back in the days before MTV
Reflecting on the possibility of success in a different era
It's not your fault your mama dropped you
Suggesting that appearance and lack of symmetry are not your fault
And your face lacks symmetry
Reiterating the lack of facial symmetry
I didn't have the heart to tell you what no one else will say
Repeating the difficulty in conveying a certain message
You've got a face for radio. You've got a face for radio
Reiteration of the idea that your appearance is better suited for radio
You've got a face for radio, it's the only way you're going to play
Emphasizing the need to avoid the perception that you're part of the band
We don't want the fans to think you're part of the band
Reiterating the suggestion that warming up the van might be more fitting
Maybe it's best if you just warm up the van
Reiteration of the idea that your appearance is better suited for radio
You've got a face for radio, it's the only way you're going to play
Emphasizing the need to avoid the perception that you're part of the band
We don't want the fans to think you're part of the band
Reiterating the suggestion that warming up the van might be more fitting
Maybe it's best if you just warm up the van
Reiteration of the idea that your appearance is better suited for radio
All right, look man it's not you, I think it might be the lighting in here
A conversation suggesting technical issues affecting perception and offering reassurance
And the other thing is the camera adds ten pounds. You know and we think we should've Used the right aspect ratio in this case. And we also didn't get your best sideman so Don't worry about, we're gonna fix it in post. I think you are too close to the project, man So there's like no way you can objective at this point. There's always voice-over work
Advising not to worry, suggesting objectivity is challenging, and offering alternative opportunities
You've got a face for radio, it's the only way you're going to play
Reiteration of the idea that your appearance is better suited for radio
We don't want the fans to think you're part of the band
Emphasizing the need to avoid the perception that you're part of the band
Maybe it's best if you just warm up the van
Reiterating the suggestion that warming up the van might be more fitting
