After Wang Ch'ang-ling, "Hearing a Flute on the River"
	I picture you there / in your tent in the sand With your little radio / clutched in your hand Tryin' to sleep in your helmet, thinkin' bout me Keeping calm in the storm listenin' to BBC We get it here, too / after Conan is done In all the kids' bedrooms / the radio's on British rain from the satellite, friendly and free The news read from London, good ol' BBC The moon on our Jeep / 3 a.m. with my cup Dumb dog at the neighbors' / still won't shut up Gail asked today / if tonight you'd be back I had to say no, / Mommy's still in Iraq. Tune it in when you can, it's magic, you'll see We'll live to one soundtrack, background BBC
