Late last night while wishing on a star
Down from the sky came a man in a car He said "Get in, Jackson Come on let's go for a ride" Outta sight Sitting in the cockpit strapped down in a chair I said, "Hey, tell me What's that over there?" He said, "Meet my computer." He's a friendly son of a gun and we're having fun Playing cards on Venus in a cloudy room Pass a glass of ammonia, I got to get off soon Sunbathin' on Mercury or jammin' on Jupiter Which do you prefer? It's getting pretty late, I got to go home Nice to have met you, what's your telephone? Maybe soon I'll call you If I can afford the fare It's long distance out there Anus of Uranus, he's a friend of mine He's a first-rate party and a real fine time Anus of Uranus, he's a friend of mine He's a first-rate party and a real fine time |

Come aboard my ship, I've something to show you
Some new equipment to take us where we're going A subspace machine, a hole in the fabric Of the very being of the universe Ignition Atomic power on We must break our orbit and soar right past the planets It took man a million years To make it only this far And we'll leave the solar system very soon... Around the universe in eighty days Sit down I think you'll like it out in space There's nothing left to stop us now We're sure to win the race (Sure to win the race...) In our warp where time and space are one We can no longer see the sun In fact there's nothing there for us to see For light is nowhere near as fast as we Our computer says we've exceeded expectations When we reach our departure point there will be celebrations What this means is our existence no longer has a limit The universe will be our new home Now the earth is just beginning to learn of our existence All life in space must learn to live as one Maybe now is the time for friendship with out neighbors For our planet is the second from the sun Around the universe in eighty days Sit down I think you'll like it out in space There's nothing left to stop us now We're sure to win the race (Sure to win the race...) |

My love and I were thinking How low our boat was sinking From fishing for the blues Every lure we tried Jonesey turned the tide We lost our cool Caught in whirlpools Oh So bland was our condition We summoned black magicians To wave a wand or two Talismanic spells Tannis root and well To tell the tale Their magic failed If that is all you want (Doctor Marvello) Then I may be of service If all you want is love (Doctor Marvello) Well I may know a special man Whose love machine turns can't to can With your mind in mind With your mind in mind (A passage of time) Oh The trance wore off by morning A sentimental journey was hazily recalled Though it sounds absurd We're completely cured And now we're fine And now we're fine And now we're fine My love and I |

Hope is like a lighthouse keeper's beam
Hope the master cobbler of our dreams For Hope believes in desert streams The mightiest of stars The microcosm in a jar Vast or small they all revolve on Hope Hope the guardian angel of the dove Hope a gift of guidance from above For Hope is the heart in mother's love No plans could be conceived No ships could fare the seas For there would be no courage were it not for Hope Now the path before us lies before our very eyes Don't you see And it leads up to the gateway Lead me through Don't you see Then come and take my hand Raise up your head And dry your eyes For up ahead I see Woh woh yeah A ray of peace A-shining on me So let us feel Hope And feel the sunrise in our minds To give Hope is to enlighten all mankind Ah but lose Hope and life seems black as blind When faith gives way to fear When motivation disappears All is lost if one abandons Hope All is lost If one abandons Hope |

I trace erratic lines In motion and in time I fought a battle won To the surface of the sun Through fires on and on It's only you It can't be me For I myself refuse to be I am someone you'll never know I am the little neutrino Solus is not far away It's face is brighter than a day So don't turn me away It's only you It can't be me For I myself refuse to be I am someone you'll never know I am the little neutrino And now I'm passing through The one who's known as you And yet you'll never know I do "Good-night" |

Through a fortunate turn of events, this original transcription has been
acquired of a dissertation given by the late Professor Charles Pamplemousse R.C.B. at the Eighteenth Assembly of the Heirs of the Politzanian Empire. Professor Pamplemousse was a distinguished anthropologist of his time whom many believed to be the world's leading authority on the subject of extinct civilizations. The program concludes with the singing of "The Politzanian National Anthem." As facts are few and far between hypothesis denies all logic as to what precisely, er, led to her demise. For what appears sheer grandiosity, no legacy remains except her crumbling ruins on which these words were found engraved: Politzania Politzania Long live Politzania Politzania Politzania God save Politzania Now these ancient Politzanians as far as archeologists have traced had most thoroughly convinced themselves they were a superior race. Quite a ridiculous notion, granted, however if we assume her sister rivals rose to quell such monstrous claims, I most humbly submit her unpleasant end is satisfactorily explained. Politzania Politzania Long live Politzania Politzania Politzania God save Politzania Those citizens who questioned, those suspect harborers of doubt, were brought before a panel of the Ministry of Health. They were tested and encephalographed 'Til rendered quite insane When in accordance with the laws They reprocessed their brains They reprocessed their brains ha ha ha ha They reprocessed their brains The Politzanian National Anthem Politzania, brave strong and true Politzania, we all love you We'll smite our foes for we are right And God is on our side Politzania, red, white and green Politzania, reigning supreme Victors in war Champions of peace Unto eternity (Everybody now) La la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la La la la la la la We're the masters of the world |

He's the only man could ever get to Hell and come back alive Yes he's the only man who's (He's the only one) Ever gone and been to (Who's been and gone) To hell and come back Hell and come back Hell and come back alive (The End) |

"I am the very loneliest of all creatures in the universe
Indeed I am an epitaph to man For having witnessed mass destruction like you've never dreamed and worse I fear I shall bear witness once again." So said the lighthouse keeper As he struggled up the spiral stairs Which led him to the laser flare which spanned the cosmic void Where keeping constant vigil He'd forewarn this gallant guard of guards Beware all ships the space graveyard and its stones of asteroids "For though my race was though immune Themselves they did consume So be warned or be mourned tomorrow And from your deafness do desist And pray take heed of this For your present course can only end in sorrow..." So said the lighthouse keeper As he wiped a teardrop from his nose Upon which his spectacles rose and gazed out to the stars And like a portrait still he stared And sighing to himself declared "I must invent the perfect prayer Not yours, not mine, but ours Which in the name of charity Might lead us to eternal peace The ultimate philosophy Some simple, single phrase." The old and much encumbered man Then came to rest with head in hand He thought and thought and thought away His last remaining day. Epilogue When to his end the old man came Death told him "You'll not die in vain" And on his lips the fatal kiss was placed But from within his falling chest The old man uttered one last breath And had we heard his parting word We'd know that he had said... |

Dog Star
(Dee Long) It really doesn't matter where you are, You could be living on a distant star, Just a long as you're feeling right, You could be happy on this fine night. If you just use a little imagination, And put your mind in a new situation, You could be tripping through the galaxy, Lost in a dream, Just you and me. CHORUS You reach your arms, up to the sky, And cast your love across the universe. You're feeling happy but you don't know why. And we'll go dancing on the distant dog star with you. As we go travelling through time and space, And leave the earth to the human race, On our approach to the dog star, We can see the milky way bar. On a planet in a new constellation, We begin a great celebration, We will sing and dance until the day, 'Cause tomorrow is a week away. REPEAT CHORUS Step out on the floor, feel light on your feet, Anti-gravity's on, can't sit in your seat, You're so far from home, all at once you know, You're not ready to go, you wanna stay here for the rest of your life. Just as long as you're feeling right You could be happy on this fine night. You could be tripping through the galaxy. Lost in a dream, just you and me. REPEAT CHORUS |

Everybody Took A Holiday
(Dee Long) It happened back in ancient times when people worked overtime, overtime In fact I think in 1985 Life was busy in the big city And the union was sitting pretty It wasn't easy to stay alive. And they'd run from the city to the sun and the country And never quite get away When the weekend came everybody took a holiday, everybody took a holiday. On a Sunday in July, everybody made up there minds And when Monday rolled around no one came home All the cities and streets were bare Everybody was havin' fun elsewhere As the weeks went by no one came home! And the stores closed down and the cars stopped runnin' and the sky cleared day-to-day But no one cared everybody took a holiday, everybody took a holiday. But the world has changed today Everyone works in the usual way But at least we had one month away. Things are much, much slower now People get away anyhow, anyhow And the weekend comes they take a holiday. An they run from the city to the sun and the country An never quite get away When the weekend comes everybody takes a holiday Everybody took a holiday, Everybody took a holiday. |

Hot Box City
(Dee Long) L.A. People in hot cars, don't know which way to go, No more room on the freeway, only want to get home, Atmosphere is oppressive, but we're breathin' it in, 'cause we all want to be there, back in the city again. Hot Box City, we're wonna lose control, The girls look pretty, and it never get's cold. Inversion layer in summer, but the people still go, Too many people in winter, tryin' to hide from the snow, Little people in hot cars, keep the city alive, That's why we're gonna be there, that's why we're gonna drive. To Hot Box City, we're gonna lose control, The girls look pretty, and it never gets cold. |

Howl At The Moon
(John Woloschuk / Dino Tome) She was a sleek an slender enchantress I'd met in the Casbah When her green eyes first met mine I was overwhelmed with awe Well we danced all night to the tango And she lured me with her charms As the band played how I prayed I'd awaken in her arms. But when I howled at the moon I knew that something was wrong She had me in a spell And I knew it wouldn't be too long Before I'd end up, before I'd end up Here in prison cell And while we danced she swayed like a cobra You could almost hear her hiss As her green eyes hypnotised It was useless to resist Well she drove me home in her Jaguar And she took me to her room Though it all seemed like a dream It was there I met my doom. But when I howled at the moon I knew that something was wrong She had me in a spell An I knew it wouldn't be too long Before I'd end up, before I'd en up Here in a prison cell Oh . When she said ... “Come, my little fly” “Come now, don't be shy ... just step into my web” I could feel my future fold as I blacked out cold When I came to she was dead . Ooh and then I howled at the moon I knew that something was wring She'd had me in her spell An I knew it wouldn't be too long Before I'd end up, before I'd end up Here in a prison cell Oh Here in a prison cell . |

If you just use a little imagination, And put your mind in a new situation, You could be tripping through the galaxy, Lost in a dream, Just you and me. CHORUS You reach your arms, up to the sky, And cast your love across the universe. You're feeling happy but you don't know why. And we'll go dancing on the distant dog star with you.

Just as long as you're feeling right You could be happy on this fine night. You could be tripping through the galaxy. Lost in a dream, just you and me. REPEAT CHORUS |

Everybody Took A Holiday
(Dee Long) It happened back in ancient times when people worked overtime, overtime In fact I think in 1985 Life was busy in the big city And the union was sitting pretty It wasn't easy to stay alive. And they'd run from the city to the sun and the country And never quite get away When the weekend came everybody took a holiday, everybody took a holiday. On a Sunday in July, everybody made up there minds And when Monday rolled around no one came home All the cities and streets were bare Everybody was havin' fun elsewhere As the weeks went by no one came home! And the stores closed down and the cars stopped runnin' and the sky cleared day-to-day But no one cared everybody took a holiday, everybody took a holiday. But the world has changed today Everyone works in the usual way But at least we had one month away. Things are much, much slower now People get away anyhow, anyhow And the weekend comes they take a holiday. An they run from the city to the sun and the country An never quite get away When the weekend comes everybody takes a holiday Everybody took a holiday, Everybody took a holiday. |

Hope is like a lighthouse keeper's beam
Hope the master cobbler of our dreams For Hope believes in desert streams The mightiest of stars The microcosm in a jar Vast or small they all revolve on Hope Hope the guardian angel of the dove Hope a gift of guidance from above For Hope is the heart in mother's love No plans could be conceived No ships could fare the seas For there would be no courage were it not for Hope Now the path before us lies before our very eyes Don't you see And it leads up to the gateway Lead me through Don't you see Then come and take my hand Raise up your head And dry your eyes For up ahead I see Woh woh yeah A ray of peace A shining on me So let us feel Hope And feel the sunrise in our minds To give Hope is to enlighten all mankind Ah but lose Hope and life seems black as blind When faith gives way to fear When motivation disappears All is lost if one abandons Hope All is lost If one abandons Hope |

Howl At The Moon
(John Woloschuk / Dino Tome) She was a sleek an slender enchantress I'd met in the Casbah When her green eyes first met mine I was overwhelmed with awe Well we danced all night to the tango And she lured me with her charms As the band played how I prayed I'd awaken in her arms. But when I howled at the moon I knew that something was wrong She had me in a spell And I knew it wouldn't be too long Before I'd end up, before I'd end up Here in prison cell And while we danced she swayed like a cobra You could almost hear her hiss As her green eyes hypnotised It was useless to resist Well she drove me home in her Jaguar And she took me to her room Though it all seemed like a dream It was there I met my doom. But when I howled at the moon I knew that something was wrong She had me in a spell An I knew it wouldn't be too long Before I'd end up, before I'd en up Here in a prison cell Oh . When she said ... “Come, my little fly” “Come now, don't be shy ... just step into my web” I could feel my future fold as I blacked out cold When I came to she was dead . Ooh and then I howled at the moon I knew that something was wring She'd had me in her spell An I knew it wouldn't be too long Before I'd end up, before I'd end up Here in a prison cell Oh Here in a prison cell . |

I trace erratic lines in motion and in time I fought a battle won To the surface of the sun Through fires on and on It's only you It can't be me For I myself refuse to be I am someone you'll never know I am the Little Neutrino Solus is not far away It's face is brighter than a day So don't turn me away It's only you It can't be me For I myself refuse to be I am someone you'll never know I am the Little Neutrino And now I'm passing through The one who's known as you And yet you'll never know I do I really do Goodnight |

Through a fortunate turn of events, this original transcription has been acquired
of a dissertation given by the late Professor Charles Pamplemousse R.C.B. at the Eighteenth Assembly of the Heirs of the Politzanian Empire. Professor Pamplemousse was a distinguished anthropologist of his time whom many believed to be the world's leading authority on the subject of extinct civilizations. The program concludes with the singing of "The Politzanian National Anthem." As facts are few and far between hypothesis denies all logic as to what precisely, er, led to her demise. For what appears sheer grandiosity, no legacy remains except her crumbling ruins on which these words were found engraved: Politzania Politzania Long live Politzania Politzania Politzania God save Politzania Now these ancient Politzanians as far as archeologists have traced had most thoroughly convinced themselves they were a superior race. Quite a ridiculous notion, granted, however if we assume her sister rivals rose to quell such monstrous claims, I most humbly submit her unpleasant end is satisfactorily explained. Politzania Politzania Long live Politzania Politzania Politzania God save Politzania Those citizens who questioned, those suspect harborers of doubt, were brought before a panel of the Ministry of Health. They were tested and encephalographed 'Til rendered quite insane When in accordance with the laws They reprocessed their brains They reprocessed their brains ha ha ha ha They reprocessed their brains The Politzanian National Anthem Politzania, brave strong and true Politzania, we all love you We'll smite our foes for we are right And God is on our side Politzania, red, white and green Politzania, reigning supreme Victors in war Champions of peace Unto eternity Everybody now La la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la La la la la la la We're the masters of the world |

Magentalane
(John Woloschuk / Dino Tome) My my what a lovely day Could it be that we've arrived in fair Magentalane There were times, many times When I thought we wouldn't make it I was quite prepared to take it like a man But here I am Aye aye bring our best champagne We will drink a toast, you and I, to fair Magentalane Now let me see well shouldn't I make a speech Or say something in Greek Perhaps recite a browning poem, but why When the only thing that is on my mind is It feels so good It feels so good It feels so good to be back at home In Magentalane Where the sea of pink champagne flows Magentalane Under rose colored bainrows I mean rainbows Yes there were times, several times I was sure we had been defeated As our Hopes became depleted through the years But now we are here So if you please it is time to take our leave The road to liberty awaits us on the aerodrome incline Gonna leave that bad old world behind Because it feels so good It feels so good It feels so good to be back at home |

I think it's time you realized For I can see it in your eyes You seem convinced that you will Live forever! Over, I feel like my life has blown over I keep looking over my shoulder And seeing nothing but grey! It's crime, don't seem like such a crime I wish I had more time But I'm drifting away.

"I am the very loneliest of all creatures in the universe
Indeed I am an epitaph to man For having witnessed mass destruction like you've never dreamed and worse I fear I shall bear witness once again." So said the lighthouse keeper As he struggled up the spiral stairs Which led him to the laser flare which spanned the cosmic void Where keeping constant vigil He'd forewarn this gallant guard of guards Beware all ships the space graveyard and its stones of asteroids "For though my race was thought immune Themselves they did consume So be warned or be mourned tomorrow And from your deafness do desist And pray take heed of this For your present course can only end in sorrow..." So said the lighthouse keeper As he wiped a teardrop from his nose Upon which his spectacles rose and gazed out to the stars And like a portrait still he stared And sighing to himself declared "I must invent the perfect prayer Not yours, not mine, but ours Which in the name of charity Might lead us to eternal peace The ultimate philosophy Some simple, single phrase." The old and much encumbered man Then came to rest with head in hand He thought and thought and thought away His last remaining day. Epilogue When to his end the old man came Death told him "You'll not die in vain" And on his lips the fatal kiss was placed But from within his falling chest The old man uttered one last breath And had we heard his parting word We'd know that he had said... |

See the rainbow by that grove of trees Has it not appeared quite suddenly? Look there ... up in the sky Can you still pretend to deny It's a little bit strange How the stars rearrange Everytime we wander here ... it's always the same Well isn't it strange? A lilting song floats upon the air Whenever the wind whispers through your hair And with one great bit beautiful smile You bring out the sun for awhile Wouldn't you consider it odd? When the whole world starts to throb Everytime I hold your here ... near to my heart Now isn't that odd? Around and around an around ring-a-rose Let's make-believe it's a merry-go-round We go ... like so I'm as dizzy as a top, I'm a tumbling down And what's more fun than a fumbling clown Dancing through the green grass with your hands in the air Touching the sky up there. Ooh! Why does ... everything you touch feel so fresh and new How is it spring seems to follow you? Cause where your feet have touched the ground The meadows with flowers abound Nothing could be quite so wild As skipping through them like a child Everytime I'm here with you Everytime I'm here with you Everytime you bring me to Tokeymor Field ... Tokeymor Field (repeat fade) |

And the only ones allowed to come are those who feel they can Go right along with the master plan For we're all agreed that all we need is sitting there in your head Is that all? That's all. That's all? That's all. So raise the sails and trim all the sheets Set your course and jam all the cleats We'll follow the north star to know where we are so You sleepyheads get out of bed right now Let your fortunes be cast to the wind And so it's off we go to some uncharted shore 'Cause the only kind we're out to find are those worth looking for You can tag along should you feel the urge to merge 'Cause we're all agreed that all we need is Hope and a little courage Is that all? That's all. Ooh hoo hoo So raise the sails and trim all the sheets Set your course and jam all the cleats We'll follow the North Star to know where we are so You sleepyheads get out of bed right now Get out the lead full steam ahead smartly now For the journey begins The journey begins Our journey begins come the sun Well wouldn't you like to go too ...? |
