Solomon Revisited is the seventh song on The Mountain Goats' first cassette, Taboo VI: The Homecoming. It was originally supposed to be the closing song, however, Dennis Callaci liked the next three songs so much he decided to include them on the tape.

Lyrics

you say you came to see me, 
because you had nothing else to do, 
but I've got a radio. 
you say you'd thought you'd stop on by 
and let me have a look at you, 
but I've got a radio. 
I've got a radio. 
I've got a radio. 
I've got a radio. 
I've got a radio. 

you say you brought some photographs, 
but I don't care to see them, 
'cause I've got a radio. 

you say this place must get dull sometimes, 
but that's not the way I see it. 
'cause I've got a radio. 
I've got a radio. 
I've got a radio. 
I've got me a radio. 
I've got a radio. 

you see these rocks are treacherous, 
but how long has it been since you've seen my feet? 
you see, I've got a radio. 
you warned me about all sorts of things, 
but that's not the sort of warning that I need. 
you see, I've got a radio. 
I've got a radio. 
I've got a radio. 
I've got a radio. 
I've got a radio.
