You see 'em coming at you every night
Strung on pretension, they fall for you at first sight
You know their business, you think it's a bore
They make you restless, it's nothing you ain't seen before
Get around town, spend your time on the run
You never let down, say you do it for fun
Never miss a play, though you make quite a few
You give it all away, everybody wants you
Yeah
You crave attention, you can never say no
Throw your affections any way the wind blows
You always make it, you're on top of the scene
You sell the copy like the cover of a magazine, ooh
Putting on the eyes till there's nobody else
You never realize what you do to yourself
The things that they see make the daily reviews
You never get free, everybody wants you
Everybody knows you
Everybody snows you
Everybody leads you, needs you, bleeds you
Nights of confusion and impossible dreams
Days at the mirror, patching up around the seams
You got your glory, you paid for it all
You take your pension in loneliness and alcohol
Say goodbye to conventional ways
You can't escape the hours, you lose track of the days
The more you understand, seems the more like you do
You never get away, everybody wants you, ooh
Everybody wants you
Everybody wants you
Strung on pretension, they fall for you at first sight
You know their business, you think it's a bore
They make you restless, it's nothing you ain't seen before

Never miss a play, though you make quite a few

another repeat.
anyway, i remember this video very well and being amazed by his spaztic dancing. we should all feel as free as he looks dancing in this video. love this tune.

Sometimes you just need a bit of thick-eared, non-cerebral nonsense to blow the cobwebs out. This fits the bill.
So good

1) Thank you for this picture! My day is complete now.
2) Those of us from Massachusetts are proud of our native son!
3) "Lonely is the Night" is a hell of a rocker!
That is all.

No. Just. No. I can't even appreciate this for the nostalgia of high school in 1982.

I don't want to start a 'book club' or any thing, but the guy who gave us 'stroke me stroke me' we then get what I think is this wonderful line "you take your pension in loneliness and alcohol."
Mainly for me because I have never used the word 'pension' in a sentence and I really like it's use here.
I do think it would have been a little better if he had said 'you take your pension in loneliness and alcohol, and stroke, stroke.' but that's just me.

Has not aged well.
Thumbs up. I like a bit of that throwback rock, and this isn't overplayed to the extent that stuff like "Eyes Without A Face" and "Careless Whisper" is.

When this came out, it was severely overplayed on the radio, and I didn't like it. Now that I am old and senile, I like it! ...Especially in FLAC, W/ gear studio phones, amp & DAC!

Summer of '82. I was 16. Met a girl at the beach who liked Billy Squier (from a previous album "Don't Say No"). Our one week romance ended with my vacation but when Billy Squier came to the Capital Center later that summer I decided to go. Billy was fun, his show was the first live music I had ever seen outside of a church.
He was a opening for Queen on their "The Game" Tour. That show made music become important to me. Freddie and Brain were unbelievable. The stage set with the walls of lights must have inspired the sets for the "Bohemian Rhapsody" I'll never ever forget that show. All thanks to Mindy from the beach!

It depends on my daily mood whether I eat the Twinkie with you or not. He wasn't a bad guitar player but this song wore out pretty quickly back in its own day. Not RP-worthy for me tonight, but it seems like a lot of my fellow listeners welcome it as a guilty pleasure.
I dunno....once in a great while it's just kind fun to hear this dumb sh*t again. Sort of like eating a Twinkie.

I prefer Billy Squier's "Lonely Is the Night" even if I did think it was a rare unreleased Zeppelin song when I first heard it

Great to hear all tbe smug whining from the RP listeners. Billy had a nice Zep influence and a good voice. I can't blame him that radio beat his songs to death. The guy had some catchy songs back then.

At first glance I was like "why is a picture of my wife on the RP song comment board?" and then remembered that she was a dead ringer for PC back in the day. Lucky me!!

I'm replying in hopes that the Phoebe Cates pic will duplicate. Phoebe posters were hanging on my wall after I saw Fast Times At Ridgemont High in the 8th grade. Thank you Dr. McDonald for lying to my parents and telling them we were going to E.T.

Normally the variety of RP is both a strength and a surprise. However, Billy Squier just sucks, and neither time nor perspective will change that.

Ah...teenage years. Remember blasting this song from my friends Chevy Beretta as the owner of the car tried pulling it out of the field we sunk in from crashing in the middle of his farm late one morning. How we got there was altogether another story!
Squilly Bier...what fun!

First time that I was hearing this song and I like it, it sounds old but it's still catchy. I'm surprised by the rather low ratings and the somehow negative comments. Maybe I'm missing some cultural background here ...C'mon...this is one of the most buffoonish songs recorded and shows why the 1980s started the long and sad decline of RnR.
Refreshing to hear something dumb and fun on a friday afternoon!
Holy bees knees, I haven't heard this since I was a wee teen.

But I read recently where today's hip-hop community have embraced the drum sound of early Squier records, with several hits sampling his music in the last few years. He's laughing all the way to the bank these days, with no bad dancing required to cash the checks rolling in.
Here's the video that basically ended his career.

+1 yet another song I would never have in my collection, but hearing every few years works out great for me. It does groove. This tune was in heavy rotation on AOR stations right when I quit commercial radio, and fits with the classics is still enjoy (Zeppelin, The Who, Rush, etc.) that also featured into that format--and are mainstays of RP, too.
As far as Britney Spears, I agree generally, but RP has--in the distant past--spun Madonna, and I wouldn't mind hearing more. I equally enjoy Lady Gaga, and we could keep going but there's no need to invite more flames.
Not something I really had to hear again for any reason, but it was OK for the the short time time I heard it here. I know songs like this tick RPers off, but you have to give Bill and Rebecca this: they play a BROAD spectrum of music.
You're not going to like everything you hear on Radio Paradise—Yoko Ono I'm pretty sure is Enemy Number 1—but at least you're musically stretched and challenged. And prodded to remember some wonderful/awful things about the 80s or at least imagine them.

On the plus side, it does allow me to get some actual work done. I'll never say that you shouldn't play something, but sometimes that is more of a challenge.

Luv'n it!!
Oh yea! Cubicle boogie.
WOW!!! Billy Squier on RP? I thought I would only hear this on the Loop 97.9 here in Chicago!

1) Thank you for this picture! My day is complete now.
2) Those of us from Massachusetts are proud of our native son!
3) "Lonely is the Night" is a hell of a rocker!
That is all.
