Pirate Radio

When I was a boy I'd listen to the radio
Late into the night with the lights
Turned off and the volume low
Tuning in at the 999
They used to call her Caroline
Every Sunday night
I listened in midnight to 2
No one else to know we're all alone
Just you and me
Who gives a damn about the BBC
Out in the channel
Everyone was free
Listening to the radio,
Pirate radio
Who gives a damn about the BBC
Out in the channel
Everyone was free
And now those days are gone
There's no more time
And no more show
But I still hear those songs
Like the young boy I was long ago
Close my eyes and I drift away
I can be free just like yesterday
Listening to the radio,
Pirate radio
Tuning in at the 999
They used to call her Caroline
Listening to the radio,
Pirate radio (3x)
