Lyrics: 'Radioactive'

I'm waking up to ash and dust
I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust
I'm breathing in the chemicals

I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
Whoa

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive

I raise my flag, don my clothes
It's a revolution, I suppose
We're painted red to fit right in
Whoa

I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
Whoa

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive

All systems go, the sun hasn't died
Deep in my bones, straight from inside

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive

You know, on a 3rd viewing, what I actually find most impressive is how seamlessly all the footage from Akhaten is weaved in there, given that you've been working on this for a month and a half and that ep only aired a few days ago! How much did you have to rejig it, to get it to fit? Or did it just slot right in?

Also - 'I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones' - did you send this song to Murray Gold before he wrote the songs for Akhaten?! "Dear Murray, I am making a vid about the Doctor's emotional journey. Please include some of these lyrics in a symbolically significant song in the next ep. Yours, Promethia'

I am ridiculously pleased with how the latest episode worked out. I really had to change very little--just the immediate line they appeared in. Basically those two sections had been giving me some difficulty. They were ok, but a little meh, especially compared to Amy and her sword *g* And Elisi was especially badgering me to change the Doctor's section, which I agreed should happen but I kept not doing it. And then this episode aired and it was basically like: Dear Promethia, We heard you needed some footage for your vid, so we put this episode together for you. Oh, and while we were at it we decided to work your song's lyrics in, just for kicks. Hope that's ok! Love, the Beeb.

So that was nice of them . . .

But really I think what it works out to is that, on a symbolic level, this is actually a deeply consistent and predictable show. Moff is a tricksy bastard who likes to tell you what he's going to do and then do it ; )
