Guess there are times when we all need 01:01
to share a little pain 01:05
And ironing out the rough spots 01:09
Is the hardest part when memories remain 01:13
And it's times like these when we all need 01:18
to hear the radio 01:22
'Cause from the lips of some old singer 01:26
We can share the troubles we already know 01:30
Turn them on, turn them on 01:33
Turn on those sad songs 01:36
When all hope is gone 01:40
Why don't you tune in and turn them on 01:43
They reach into your room 01:49
Just feel their gentle touch 01:53
When all hope is gone 01:59
Sad songs say so much 02:02
If someone else is suffering enough 02:06
to write it down 02:11
When every single word makes sense 02:15
Then it's easier to have those songs around 02:19
The kick inside is in the line 02:22
that finally gets to you 02:26
and it feels so good to hurt so bad 02:30
And suffer just enough to sing the blues 02:35
Turn them on, turn them on 02:37
Turn on those sad songs 02:41
When all hope is gone 02:45

[English]

Guess there are times when we all need
to share a little pain
And ironing out the rough spots
Is the hardest part when memories remain
And it's times like these when we all need
to hear the radio
'Cause from the lips of some old singer
We can share the troubles we already know
Turn them on, turn them on
Turn on those sad songs
When all hope is gone
Why don't you tune in and turn them on
They reach into your room
Just feel their gentle touch
When all hope is gone
Sad songs say so much
If someone else is suffering enough
to write it down
When every single word makes sense
Then it's easier to have those songs around
The kick inside is in the line
that finally gets to you
and it feels so good to hurt so bad
And suffer just enough to sing the blues
Turn them on, turn them on
Turn on those sad songs
When all hope is gone
Why don't you tune in and turn them on
They reach into your room
Just feel their gentle touch
When all hope is gone
You know sad songs, they say so much
Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say so much
Turn them on (turn them on)
turn them on (turn them on)
Turn on those sad songs
When all hope is gone
Why don't you tune in and turn them on
They reach into your room
Just feel their gentle touch
When all hope is gone
You know sad songs, they say so much
When all hope is gone
You know sad songs, they say so much
When ever little bit hope is gone
Sad songs say so much
When all hope is gone
Sad songs say so much
