(Verse 1)
Sunday March 1964, anchors up and all aboard
On a mission to transmit, sail away with a pirate ship
London swinging Carnaby Street, mod rocker Mersey Beat
All together on Kings Road, let's ready steady go
(Chorus 1)
Radio Caroline on the air all of the time
Soothe the soul calm down the mind
Turn that dial to number 199
(Verse 2)
Welcome to the frequency, black sheep of a royal family
Sing along spinning DJ, broadcast not fade away
Music makes the harbor lights blink, housewives don't know what to think
Test run stops the TV show, no such thing as video
(Chorus 2)
Radio Caroline on the air all of the time
Soothe the soul calm down the mind
Turn that dial to number 199
(Bridge)
Tonight let's all make loving awareness
BBC won't play it, we could care less
(Verse 3)
Pledge allegiance to Union Jack, Jolly Roger says we're under attack
We all know who the queen saves, in the cavern and on the waves
All right kid it's a revolution, be proud of your noise pollution
Take psychedelic to Savile Row, read all about it in The Echo
(Chorus 3)
Radio Caroline on the air all of the time
Soothe the soul calm down the mind
Turn that dial to number 199
(Outro)

(Intro)
It came to me in a dream
Johnny Cash said goodbye to James Dean
(Verse 1)
James was just a kid, Johnny a young man
Knowing not what they did, neither had a plan
Somehow they both knew, one would not make it through
Loose that racing game, silver screen would never be the same
(Chorus 1)
It came to me in a dream
Johnny Cash said goodbye to James Dean
(Verse 2)
Bid farewell until further notice
There had been many friends but these two were closest
Cash wore black when he heard the news
Angels of the city had lost their muse
(Chorus 2)
It came to me in a dream
Johnny Cash said goodbye to James Dean
(Bridge)
Sending chills through me as I lay there in bed
Like a scene from a movie, not a tear was shed
(Verse 3)
One last chance to make their voices heard
No song or dance and barely a word
Leave the light behind for a date with the devil
Entertain the prisoners and play the rebel
(Chorus 3)
It came to me in a dream
Johnny Cash said goodbye to James Dean
