Sparks - Now That I Own the BBC [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

What was I thinking?
What was I thinking?
What could I have been thinking?
It's going one time (one time)
It's going two times (two times)
Sold to the gentleman who wears the stunned expression
As I took it off their hands
A five pound note was changing hands
As I took it off their hands
I had plans, I had plans

[Chorus]
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 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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Make of it what you will
Make of it what you will
Make of it what you will
Make of it what you will

[Chorus]

Should we go brighter, should we go lighter
Should we go whiter, go left or righter
What was I thinking, what was I thinking
I wasn't drinking, what could I have been thinking?

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
