Yes, it’s time for the Dr. Gobbles Show!
There’s a tower in the heart of London
With a radio station right at the top
They don’t make the city beat
They’re making the action stop
A long time ago there were pirates
Beaming in waves from the sea
But now all the stations are silent
'Cos they ain't got a government licencse
Wanna tell your problems
Phone in from your bedsit room
Having trouble with your partner
Let us all in the good news
If you wanna hear a record
Get the word from A to Z
He picks all the hits to play
To keep you in your place all day
(Capital Radio)
In tune with nothing
(Capital Radio)
In tune with nothing
(Capital Radio)
-Funny noise from Strummer, not actual word-
(Capital Radio)
In your place all day
(Capital Radio)
Just a-lazing around all day
Capital Radio
Ba-ba-ba-ba-bummin’ all day
Backstreet a-hear us out
Grab attention go and go against the town
It’s such a crime
Is it a game
We ain’t got no rights
Slippin’ off, slipping off
Slippin’ off, slipping off
Slippin’ off, slipping off
[Capital Radio backing vocal ends here]
Don’t touch that dial!
Don’t touch that dial!
Don’t touch that dial!
Don’t touch that dial!
