Now That I Own the BBC Songtext
von Sparks

What was I thinking, what was I thinking, what was I thinking
What could I have been thinking
It′s going one time, it's going two times, sold to the gent
Who wears the stunned expression

As I took it off their hands, a five pound note was changing hands
As I took off their hands
I had plans, I had plans

Now that I own the BBC
What am I supposed to do with this thing
Now that I own the BBC
What am I supposed to make of this thing

All this power, all this glory, all these DJs and all these lorries
What was I thinking, what was I thinking, what was I thinking
What could I have been thinking

Hey Rupert Murdoch, help me out
I′m flying blind, I'm flying blind
You know the way to lay things out, for the refined and unrefined


Now that I own the BBC
What am I supposed to do with this thing
Now that I own the BBC
What am I supposed to make of this thing

Hey Ted Turner, help me out
I'm flying blind, I′m flying blind
You know the way to lay things out, to colorize and still feel fine

Now that I own the BBC
What am I supposed to do with this thing
Now that I own the BBC
What am I supposed to make of this thing

Make of it what you will, make of it what you will
Make of it what you will, make of it what you will
Make of it what you will

Should we go brighter, should we go lighter, should we go whiter
Go left or righter

What was I thinking, what was I thinking, what was I thinking
What could I have been thinking

Now that I own the BBC
What am I supposed to do with this thing
Now that I own the BBC
What am I supposed to make of this thing


Make of it what you will, make of it what you will, make of it what you will
Make of it what you will

Now that I own the BBC
What am I supposed to do with this thing
Now that I own the BBC
What am I supposed to make of this thing

Now that I own the BBC
What am I supposed to do with this thing
Now that I own the BBC
What am I supposed to make of this thing
