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 Pirate radio Pirate radio
