Written and recorded by Ian Livingstone. Vocals sang by Ethan McLean.

lyrics

Dead links,
Oceans of dead links,
Going nowhere.
In inertia.

You're telling me it doesn't exist,
You're telling me it's is broken,
Where's that voice that talks to me from the radio?

He's all gone.
Into Babylon,
On and on you talked with me from the airwaves.

You used to say it'll be alright.

I turn the dial to find you,
I get the silence of the aethyr,
No more voices from transistor radios.

Remember how we'd laugh,
In the quiet of my room,
You weren't like all those bad men from the government.

'cos they took it all,
They took it all,
And we gave it all up,
All up,
We gave it all up for nothing,

You used to say it'll be alright.
And I believed you,
I believed you.

Everything was quiet,
Before the bad men came,
Before the bad men came,
It was all okay,
Before the bad men came,
Before the bad men came,
We used to sit in the quiet of my room,
Beneath lamplight we'd talk,
We'd go sailing by...

Before they took it all,
Before we gave it all up,
We gave it all up,
We gave this all up for nothing,

They took it all.
They took it all,
And we gave it all up,
All up,
We gave this all up for nothing,

Now there's just dead links,
Oceans of dead links,
Just dead links,
Oceans of dead links.
