Roger that!
Roger that!
I don't have to take this any further if you don't want me to
I only go as far as you want me to
That's only as far as I go
The Gorillaz's song Interlude: Talk Radio is a brief intermission between songs that features a conversation between a radio host and an unknown guest. The lyrics begin with the radio host requesting the guest to talk to him by saying "talk to me," to which the guest responds with "Roger that!" twice. However, the guest quickly changes the tone of the conversation by stating that he doesn't have to take the conversation any further if the host doesn't want him to. This line suggests that the guest has sensitive or controversial information that he is willing to reveal but only if the host is willing to continue the conversation.
The next line "I only go as far as you want me to, that's only as far as I go" reinforces the guest's hesitancy to disclose further details, indicating that he is aware of the potential consequences of sharing the details. The lyrics are open-ended and ambiguous, leaving the listener to interpret the conversation's meaning and purpose. However, one can speculate that the conversation could be a representation of the power dynamics in society, where individuals with information exercise control over others who wish to gain knowledge or insight.

City's breaking down on a camel's back
They just have to go 'cause they don't know whack
So while you fill the streets, it's appealing to see
You won't get undercounted 'cause you're damned and free
You got a new horizon, it's ephemeral style
A melancholy town where we never smile
And all I wanna hear is the message beep
My dreams, they got her kissing, 'cause I don't get sleep, no
Windmill, windmill for the land
Turn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is ticking, falling down
Love forever, love is free
Let's turn forever you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?
Laughin' gas these hazmats, fast cats
Linin' 'em up like ass cracks
Play these ponies at the track
It's my chocolate attack
Shit, I'm steppin' in the heart of this here (yeah)
Care Bear rappin' in harder this year (yeah)
Watch me as I gravitate, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Yo, we gon' ghost town this Motown
With yo' sound, you in the blink
Gon' bite the dust, can't fight with us
With yo' sound, you kill the Inc.
So don't stop, get it, get it (get it)
Until you're cheddar headed
And watch the way I navigate, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha (ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca, feel good
Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca, feel good
Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca, feel good
Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca, feel good
Windmill, windmill for the land
Turn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is ticking, falling down
Love forever, love is free
Let's turn forever you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?
Don't stop, get it, get it
Peep how your captain's in it (feel good)
Steady, watch me navigate, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! (Feel good)
Don't stop, get it, get it
Peep how your captain's in it (feel good)
Steady, watch me navigate, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! (Feel good)
