About the Artist
Lyrics
The greatest lost track of all time The Late Greats' "Turpentine" You can't hear it on the radio You can't hear it anywhere you go The best band will never get signed K-Settes starring Butcher's Blind Are so good, you won't ever know They never even played a show You can't hear 'em on the radio The greatest singer in rock and roll Would have to be Romeo His vocal chords are made of gold He just looks a little too old The best song will never get sung The best life never leaves your lungs So good, you won't ever know I never hear it on the radio Can't hear it on the radio
