The Clash - Capital Radio (One/Two) 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!
