[singer A] [INTRO — RADIO TRANSMISSION] [Radio static] Check... Check... You're locked in. [Male — spoken, filtered] London after midnight... No licence. No limits. No sleep. [Radio FX] Transmission coming through... [VERSE 1] Streetlights flicker on the wet concrete Bassline crawling underneath the street Two-step knocking through the window frame Everybody knows but nobody says the name Signal jumping, frequency low Red light blinking — ready to go From the rooftops down to the underground Turn that transmitter up and shake the town [PRE-DROP] [Male — whispered] Can you hear it? [Female — chopped] Hear it... [Male] Can you feel it? [Female — chopped] Feel it... [Male] London... [Silence] [Pirate-radio vocal] LOCKED IN. [DROP — HOOK] London pirate-radio Broadcasting through the night London pirate-radio Keep the frequency alive Bassline rolling Two-step controlling No sleep till the morning light London pirate-radio We're coming through tonight [POST-DROP — VOCAL CHOPS] Pi-pi-pirate... Radio... Radio... Locked in... [transition] [singer B] [VERSE 2] Grey sky hanging over Camden Town Sub gets heavy when the sun goes down Old-school rhythm with a brand-new bite Everything moving when the bass hits right No VIP and no velvet rope Just concrete, smoke and a wireless hope From Brixton corners to the riverside If you know that signal, then you know the ride [PRE-DROP 2] [Female — teasing] Who's on air? [Male] You already know. [Female] Who's got the bass? [Male] We already know. [Radio distortion] Five... Four... Three... Two... [DROP] London pirate-radio Broadcasting through the night London pirate-radio Keep the frequency alive Bassline rolling Two-step controlling No sleep till the morning light London pirate-radio We're coming through tonight [BREAK — HALF-TIME RADIO SECTION] [Radio static] [Male — intimate] They tried to shut it down... [Pause] So we moved the signal. [Female — whispered] Higher... [Male] Further... [Female] Louder... [Male] Again. [BUILD] [Filtered vocal] London... London... London... PIRATE-RADIO. [FINAL DROP] London pirate-radio Broadcasting through the night London pirate-radio Keep the frequency alive Bassline rolling Two-step controlling No sleep till the morning light London pirate-radio We're coming through tonight [Outro — fading transmission] [Radio static] You're locked in... London pirate-radio... Still broadcasting. [Signal cuts]
