[Intro]

We interrupt this programme

for an important—

We interrupt that interruption

for something more—

[Verse]

We left the weather at the coast
To cover traffic in the west.
We left the traffic halfway through
For "SOMETHING MOVING NEAR A DESK."

Rebecca stood beside the sea
Explaining rainfall from before.
Peter interrupted from the tracks
To say the tram had shut its door.

[Pre-Chorus]

Newer.
Faster.
Redder frame.

Every interruption needs a greater name.

[Chorus]

We interrupt our previous interruption
With another urgent interruption.
Please remain for further interruption—
We interrupt our previous interruption.

What came first is old construction—
Everything else is obstruction.

[Verse]

The heat was from a radiator
Causing Studio B some misery.
The engineer adjusted it—
We ran: TEMPERATURE MYSTERY.

A light went out on Harbour Road.
A councillor prepared his note.
Before the note had left his throat—
BREAKING: SOMEONE SAW A BOAT.

[Chorus]

We interrupt our previous interruption
With another urgent interruption.
Please remain for further interruption—
We interrupt our previous interruption.

Every sentence faces reduction—
Journalism through self-destruction.

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

Who remembers why we came to Camera Four?
Did the boat arrive? Has the chair been found?
Priya counts seventeen lines that all begin with BREAKING—
Not one of them contains how any story ends.

[Break]

We interrupt—

We inter—

We—

Stop.

[Build-up]

Maya turns the gong away. Priya finds the oldest page: "Finish one."
The room goes still for three full seconds—
Then Gordon's phone begins to buzz. He smiles:
"We've got another one."

[Final Chorus]

We interrupt our previous interruption
With another urgent interruption.
Still the banner shouts instruction:

WE INTERRUPT

OUR PREVIOUS

INTERRUPTION.

[Outro]

We now return to the report we interrupted

Before the report that interrupted—

Good night.
