Lyrics

(Strummer/jones)

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 news

If you wanna hear a record
Get the word from aiden day
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!
