[Verse 1]

It's a polyphonic sound

It's the shape of things

It's a very modern century

That we're living in

You were seventeen and I was nine

I saw you take my sister to bed that time

I was young but I knew I'd want to

[Chorus]

Playback

Baby, playback your love to me

Play it in the studio

Play it on the radio

Playback

Playback

[Verse 2]

It's a day in my life

It's the coldest yet

You sit there with your Tanqueray

And a cigarette

Donne moi ce que tu as promis

Donne moi ce que tu as dit

I'm not going to wait around for you to

[Chorus]

Playback

Baby, playback your love to me

Play it in the studio

Play it on the radio

Playback

Playback

[Verse 3]

It's the supersonic look

Of the things to come

It's the jet age now

That we're coming from

You're a high tech man of discovery

But you walk away and leave me here in misery

Alors, just walk on

[Chorus]

Playback

Baby, playback your love to me

Play it in the studio

Play it on the radio

Playback
