You will fly Up to the stars But first you'll stop on Mars To be prepared so you can Aclimatize to outer space Be the astronaut to save the human race Maximise your potential To fly to the outer reaches of the universe The world has become unstable planet earth is now unable To sustain life as we know it You will fly To the Medusa Nebuli You'll sleep for 25 years so be prepared to say goodbye To Jupiter Saturn and Mars Venus and Mercury You'll feel the suns rays getting cooler as you pass Neptune Uranus and Pluto On your intergalactic journey

Have You A Dollar For Me 03:09

Sitting on the corner watching the world go bye Trains are rumbling under my feet planes up in the sky Should I go up town where all the money grows on trees Should I go down town where people livin in need I open up my hands and say have you a dollar for me Have you got a nickel have you a dime have you got a quarter for me yeah Have you got a nickel have you got a dime have you got a dollar for me yeah People they go rushing by nobody got a smile Born into this crazy world and soon to say goodbye Does anybody notice what goes on in there between Does anyone realize we are living in a broken dream I open up my hands and say have you a dollar for me Have you got a nickel have you a dime have you got a quarter for me Have you got a nickel have you got a dime have you got a dollar for me Do you wanna be a beggar man that's out there on the street Do you wanna be cold and never have anything good to eat Do you wanna be the man without a loving family I open my hands and say I take them by the hand to a place I call my home It's a cardboard box in which I sleep out on the cold paving stone Come on in make yourselves at home have a cup of tea Tell me all about your worries do you think they bother me I open up my hands and say have you a dollar for me Have you got a nickel have you a dime have you got a quarter for me Have you got a nickel have you got a dime have you got a dollar for me credits

Boys are driving into town there’s a party tonight Girls are gonna be waiting that’s way out of sight Boys are looking real tough they’re dressed for action Girls are looking real pretty they’re the main attraction Hey we’re having a party tonight We’ll dance and swim in the pool with sparking lights We’ll sit in the jacuzzi and drink champagne we’re gonna Ease the mind body and soul of all the aches and pains Boys are looking for the babe for a real slow dance Girls are looking for the guy for some sweet romance Boys are moving real close for a tender kiss Girls are moving even closer they’ve been waitin for this Hey we’re having a party tonight We’ll dance and swim in the pool with sparking lights We’ll sit in the jacuzzi and drink champagne we’re gonna Ease the mind body and soul of all the aches and pains Hey we’re having a party tonight We’ll dance and swim in the pool with sparking lights We’ll sit in the jacuzzi and drink champagne we’re gonna Ease the mind body and soul of all the aches and pains

The Hour Glass 03:54
lyrics

A million pebbles on the beach Washed and rolled with every tide Fluffy clouds in the sky Behind which the sinking sun can hide The sinking sun can hide Countless blades of grass Where sheep and cattle graze The trickle of the fine white sand Passing the time away Passing the time away The sun is sinking at the end of the day Time is passing the sand just trickles away The hour glass has the final say 6 billion people on this earth Each with a different game to play Stars twinkling in the sky at night Heralding the start of a new day Heralding the start of a new day Stars they shine like so many fire flies I ask myself the question when is it time to say goodbye The sun is sinking at the end of the day As the time is passing the sand just trickles away The hour glass has the final say Sand trickles away The hour glass has the final say

Queen Of The Green Screen 03:35

It's not for want of trying I wouldn't be lying If I said I just want a little bit more Taste the sweet smell of success not be second best Have my glorious day in the sun I am queen of the green screen Stop shooting me down treading on all my dreams I am queen of the green screen give me a stage Give me my 15 minutes of fame Just want a little bit more knock knock knocking at the door Just want a little bit more knock knock knocking at the door Couldn't you leave it a little ajar hey sesame make me a star Give me my ticker-tape parade I don't know how much more can I take but I'll never break Don't they say the cream always rises to the top I am queen of the green screen Stop banging those nails into my heart tearing me apart I am queen of the green screen give me a stage Give me my 15 minutes of fame Just want a little bit more knock knock knocking at the door Just want a little bit more knock knock knocking at the door Just want a little bit just want a little bit just want a little bit more Just want a little bit just want a little bit knock knock knocking at the door I am queen of the green screen Stop banging those nails into my heart tearing me apart I am the queen of the green screen Stop shooting me down treading on all my dreams I am queen of the green screen give me a stage Give me my 15 minutes of fame Just want a little bit more

Station Guard Hero 03:08

Station guard hero working long hours Blows on his whistle train leaves on time Feel the night air autumn draws near When's my train coming please tell me dear Getting a message on an incoming train a young man is acting really insane Station guard hero draws in a breath Who's going to help me sort out this mess Breaks are screeching a shout and a bang People rush passed him most of them ran Station guard hero sees a man with a knife he asks himself should I risk my life Station guard hero has nothing left to do this crazy man he has to subdue Now he's lying in the ICU feeling very poorly Doctors do what they need to do to try and pull him through A pretty nurse says hey Mike you'll be alright British Rail Need to know they've got their very own station guard hero Station guard hero Station guard hero Station guard hero Gets to his front do his wife opens up Kisses and hugs him happy he's back Picks up his bass and plays a few tunes Life is alright now he's back in the groove Station guard hero fought a man with a knife for that he nearly paid the ultimate price Just an ordinary bloke a station guard hero

Standing by the road you took my heart you took the money Now I'm feeling a little bit cold clouds are rolling in it ain't so sunny Feel the rain drops falling down on me see the lightening strike a hill top tree Rolling away like tumble weed leaving me back here to bleed My Queen of Hearts When I first saw you standing there Boy my chips were down I was on a loosing streak You smiled over to me Ever since that day girl I've never been beat You were my lucky lady every hand it was a pay day These things ain't meant to last that's why we had to burn and crash My Queen of Hearts Bye bye girl bye bye You took my best hand and ripped it apart Bye bye girl Why did you leave why did you leave why did you leave me My Queen of Hearts So I dust myself off and go back to sin city cause I gotta know If you've rolled back into town smiling at a guy who's chips are down You made me such a lucky man now you're taken the money you just ran But I ain't gonna be blue I will always love you My Queen of Hearts Bye bye girl bye bye You took my best hand and ripped it apart Bye bye girl Why did you leave me my Queen of Hearts Bye bye girl You took my best hand and ripped it apart Bye bye girl Why did you leave why did you leave why did you leave me My Queen of Hearts

Never Gonna Be Like It Was 04:59

Nobody there to say you're sorry nobody there say don't you worry It's just the way that it is Never gonna be like it was never gonna be like it was Never gonna be like it was screaming for help Just don't understand Always surrounded by darkness Walking on sinking sand looking for answers That don't seem to exist In all of this madness in a world that doesn't heal Madness in a world that doesn't feel Memories in a box don't you see memories that say don't touch me It says fragile don't you open Never gonna be like it was never gonna be like it was Never gonna be like it was screaming for help Just don't understand Always surrounded by darkness Walking on sinking sand looking for answers That don't seem to exist In all of this madness in a world that doesn't heal Madness in a world that doesn't feel Then the box opens and the memories come flooding out Then the box opens in my head I wanna shout Can't you hear I'm calling Don't you see that's I'm falling Never gonna be like it was never gonna be like it was Never gonna be like it was screaming for help Never gonna be like it was never gonna be like it was Never gonna be like it was screaming for help Just don't understand Always surrounded by darkness Walking on sinking sand looking for answers That don't seem to exist In all of this madness in a world that doesn't heal Madness in a world that doesn't feel Madness

Lady Luck 03:34

I was standing by the wishing well looking down into the dark I made a wish you can never tell if you luck might turn around As I watch the penny drop after a while I hear a splash There’s a feeling inside of me that my lady luck was coming back She is standing there in front of me with a penny in her hand The most beautiful girl to ever walk this land I looked deep into her eyes as the penny starts to fall I know she was thinking of me when lady luck comes to call Lady Luck comes to call We hold each other and start to sway All our dreams are coming true You must never ever give up hope You never know when luck is due As I danced the night away With the girl that I adore She says you can never tell When lady luck comes knocking at your door She is standing there in front of me with a penny in her hand The most beautiful girl to ever walk this land I looked deep into her eyes as the penny starts to fall I know she’s thinking of me when lady luck comes to call I know she’s thinking of me when lady luck comes to call Lady Luck comes to call when our pennies started to fall No we're driving on through the night To the place we first met Underneath the moon lit skies How can we ever forget Together by the wishing well We kiss tenderly Then I go down on bended knee And say will you marry me She is standing there in front of me with a penny in her hand The most beautiful girl to ever walk this land I looked deep into her eyes as the penny starts to fall I know she’s thinking of me when lady luck comes to call I know she’s thinking of me when lady luck comes to call Lady Luck comes to call when our pennies started to fall Lady Luck comes to call when our pennies started to fall

You are so many miles away from me I speak to you but I can’t see Who’s there standing next to you There’s nothing I can do I talk to you I need to bridge the gap You’ve got to listen I want you back But you just cry and say our love is gone Oh babe that’s where you’re so wrong| By my side is where you belong It’s written across my heart aching to find a way Written across the broken part all the want to say Is just a few words that will mean the world I say, I love you I say I love you I know it wont get through You’ve gone and hung up and my heart is broke in two The wind cuts through me now that you’ve gone Oh baby don’t you see you’re so wrong By my side is where you belong I love you I love you I love you It’s written across my heart aching to find a way Written across the broken part all the want to say Is just a few words that will mean the world I say, I love you I say I love you It’s written across my heart credits
