Planets visited, moons observed Sending images to our home world Your mission has revealed a lot To the primitive beings on the pale blue dot You've sailed so far, and you're so near To the edge of the heliosphere So please deliver from planet Earth Our message to the universe We threw the smallest bottle in the largest sea With sound and vision on a gold LP Traversing interstellar space An eternal record of the human race After humankind has paid the cost And all of our wars have been fought and lost You'll be sailing towards the constellations Bringing peace from every nation The smallest bottle in the largest sea Has sound and vision on a gold LP Traversing interstellar space An eternal record of the human race When we've used up our final chance Our gift to the stars will be song and dance When all of life on Earth has gone Distant worlds will hear our song On Gliese 445 they'll sing Of Johnny B.

I release the trolley Inserting a one pound coin I load the meat and vegetables The rice and olive oil I get tins of soup on special They're cheaper when bought in a pair And I smile as I greet the cashier who Is blissfully unaware... Of my secret identity, my secret identity, My secret identity is close to my chest My secret identity, secret identity, Secret identity will never be guessed And when the afternoon is dragging But I'm meant to stay awake I join the queue at Starbuck's for Some caffeine and a cake And the barista with pen in hand Says "What is your name please?" I open my mouth and hesitate For I must not reveal My secret identity, my secret identity, My secret identity is close to my chest My secret identity, secret identity, Secret identity will never be guessed I can tell that you think you're the one in whom I'm finally going to confide Well, can you keep a secret? So can I! And my secret identity, my secret identity, My secret identity is close to my chest My secret identity, secret identity, Secret identity will never be guessed

When I was four years old I began my education To learn about society and all its expectations Learn to read and write, to add and multiply, Eat my greens and not to answer back and not to cry I learned how to spell, and how to long divide How to run around a field far too many times How to pay attention and how to follow rules That's what they taught me when I was in school I took my exams and I passed But there's more I wish I'd learned in class Like How to put up shelves without nailing through a cable How to read instructions to set up a flatpack table How to deal with bullies when they're frightening and cruel No-one told me these things when I was in school Willy, Willy, Harry, Ste, Harry, Dick, John, Harry Three I learned about the Normans and I saw the Bayeux Tapestry I learned that Jean-Paul Marat died in his bath, I learned that zinc and copper are the metals that make brass. I took my exams and I passed But there's more I wish I'd learned in class Like How to put up shelves without nailing through a cable How to read instructions to set up a flatpack table How to deal with bullies when they're frightening and cruel No-one told me these things when I was in school And though your school days are through You can still learn a life skill or two Like please don't block the doorway after entering a shop, No-one wants to hear the gory details of your op, Dig into the evidence don't assume the worst Everything's more complicated than it looks at first If a politician said it then it's probably not true Remember that everything is not all about you Still no-one gets to tell you how you have to live your life It's up to you if you want children and a wife No-one's ever argued on the internet and won Remember that your hobbies are just a bit of fun Sing as loud as you like, use your two left feet and dance, Every human being deserves an equal chance Shout it from the rooftops, break all the rules, No-one told me these things when I was in school No-one told me these things when I was in school

For almost a century Pluto was A planet, one of the nine It had a sort of unusual orbit But still they all got on just fine But one day because of its size, they said That's no planet, is it? Then they decided to send New Horizons To pay the dwarf a visit Pluto was understandably miffed To have been taken down a peg And as the spacecraft did its flypast This is what Pluto said, I never wanted to be in your gang, Even though you think you are so cool, But we're the Trans Neptunian Objects and There's more of us than of you There's Eris and Sedna, Lempo, Varuna, Gonggong and Niku and Drac, Ixion, Orcus and Rhadamanthus And thousands of others like that I don't need to be part of your club Me and my moons are okay Charon, Styx, Hydra, Kerberos, Nix We're happy out here with our mates You can call me whatever you like It's hardly sticks and stones But we're the Trans Neptunian Objects and The Kuiper Belt is our home There's Eris and Sedna, Lempo, Varuna, Gonggong and Niku and Drac, Ixion, Orcus and Rhadamanthus And thousands of others like that There's Arrokoth, Biden and Farout and Albion, Quaoar, and Ceto and Zhulong Chaos, Haumea, and several with names that are Hard to pronounce 'cos they're too long We don't want to join your party We don't care about your rules We're the Trans Neptunian Objects and There's more of us than of you There's Eris and Sedna, Lempo, Varuna, Gonggong and Niku and Drac, Ixion, Orcus and Rhadamanthus And thousands of others like that There's Arrokoth, Biden and Farout and Albion, Quaoar, and Ceto and Zhulong Chaos, Haumea, and several with names that are Hard to pronounce 'cos they're too long We're the Trans Neptunian Objects and There's more of us than of you

You take one step but there's many miles to go You keep on building but the backlog overflows Management is on your back and desperate to impress While you fulfil the promises of everybody else No preparation, complication Stress, frustration, procrastination Burnout and exhaustion, confidence is knocked You might as well be hammering, hammer on a rock The challenge seems impossible, can't bring yourself to start But one day you will hammer and the rock will fall apart In the morning, in the evening, hammer round the clock Keep hammering, hammering, hammer on the rock It always feels that progress is so glacially slow Nothing seems to happen and the fears begin to grow Bigots guard bathrooms, madmen with guns It's hard to keep believing that change will ever come Isolation, warring nations While we chant on demonstrations Feel it's not enough to give it everything we've got We might as well be hammering, hammer on a rock The challenge seems impossible, can't bring yourself to start But one day you will hammer and the rock will fall apart Hammer danger and a warning, hammer round the clock Keep hammering, hammering, hammer on the rock Every crack in every formation Every little victory is a cause for celebration The challenge seems impossible, can't bring yourself to start But one day you will hammer and the rock will fall apart Hammer danger and a warning, hammer round the clock Keep hammering, hammering, hammer on the rock Everybody all together one almighty thwock We're hammering, hammering, hammer on the rock

Lying in the darkness Does anybody care? Resting on my own while My friends all sleep in pairs Memories of happy times Are all that now remain She left without a single word To help me ease my pain Will I ever know? Where did my partner go? I remember how we'd dance together On the kitchen floor But now I lie abandoned At the back of the drawer And when the light peeks through the crack I wonder is this when My partner has returned and we're United once again But as my friends march two by two Won't she please come home? I'm nothing here without her I will never walk alone Won't you tell me please? Where my partner could be? I remember how we'd dance together On the kitchen floor But now I lie abandoned At the back of the drawer Is my sole now wearing thin? Am I destined for the bin? Are we forever lost? Will it come out in the wash I remember how we'd dance together On the kitchen floor But now I lie abandoned At the back of the drawer I'm nothing here without her I will never walk alone

I can see this conversation's going nowhere I'm sure we're both on a different page In fact it isn't even the same volume And it's hard for me to get you to engage I couldn't change your mind with my logic Perhaps you thought the axioms were wrong So I'll get out the harmonica and blow it in the wind And perhaps I'll change your mind with a song I couldn't change your mind with an example I couldn't change your mind by giving facts Facts don't care about your feelings And you never could forgive them for that I couldn't change your mind with my logic Perhaps you thought the axioms were wrong So I'll get out the harmonica and we shall overcome And perhaps I'll change your mind with a song The world burns around you and you say that this is fine But I'll try to convince you one more time Doesn't matter if the lyrics are subversive Doesn't matter what I sing or how I play If precedent is anything to go by You won't understand the message anyway I couldn't change your mind with my logic Perhaps you thought the axioms were wrong So I'll get out the harmonica for what it's worth And perhaps I'll change your mind with a song So I'll get out the harmonica and give peace a chance And perhaps I'll change your mind with a song

We've got a problem and we're looking for advice Exhausted options so we're looking to the skies For cultures who advanced, the answer to our prayers Who made it through the crisis with experience to share Is anybody there? Is anybody there? Could this be the fate of all who grow so proud Who will not learn from history so doomed to wipe it out Is anybody there? Is anybody there? Do we now understand why There's no reply Or maybe they keep quiet desperate to hide From those who need another world to bleed until it's dry Aaaaaaah, is anybody there? Aaaaaaah, Is anybody there?

The sky is dark and grey The Number 94 is late Nervous glances at the sky Zip your macs up high And the heavens open up Masses wading through the floods Soaked to the skin Or fighting umbrellas in the wind Can't get a signal but I fiddle with the phone While we huddle in the shelter chilled to the bone And watch the water trickle down the gutter to the drain Standing at the bus stop in the rain Standing at the bus stop in the rain Shoes and ankles splashed By cars streaming past Daggers from our eyes At the drivers warm and dry But not a word is said The world's inside our heads All with one shared thought Where's the 94? Can't get a signal but I fiddle with the phone While we huddle in the shelter chilled to the bone And watch the water trickle down the gutter to the drain Standing at the bus stop in the rain And we look towards the corner at the end of the road Not so much in expectation rather more in hope While the water keeps on flowing down the gutter to the drain Standing at the bus stop in the rain Standing at the bus stop in the rain

They say nothing is forever But we know that isn't true Some things come around again No matter what we do So maybe you can tell me If we'll reach the end of the line Say yes, will it be over? Or no, it's for all time If the wheels are spinning faster While there's news I'm waiting for Will you ever give me the answer or Will I wait forever more? Imagine for a second I can Give you what you need We'll turn it on itself and then We'll see how things proceed I've sent the one you seek Towards a distant carousel You'll see when it returns It's still too far away to tell If the wheels are spinning faster While there's news I'm waiting for Will you ever give me the answer or Will I wait forever more? Do I stay or do I go? It seems I'll never know As the galaxies grow colder And the stars begin to fade It's not too late for the Decision to be made If the wheels are spinning faster While there's news I'm waiting for Will you ever give me the answer or Will I wait forever more? If the wheels are spinning faster While there's news I'm waiting for Will you ever give me the answer or Will I wait forever more? Will you ever give me the answer or Will I wait forever more?

Proposals were accepted and the blueprints had been drawn Nobody had seen it since 1994 The team was ready to begin It was time that they went in There were myths and there were legends of the treasures deep inside No-one could anticipate what they were going to find Was it haunted, were there creatures keeping guard? What secrets lay beyond The expedition due to go and everyone prepared With the flashlights and the PPE, everyone beware! Taking a deep breath, they thought of what they might discover On the voyage to the bottom of the cupboard Would they make it past the cardboard, could they handle all the dust? Would the artifacts they dug out be beneath a layer of rust? How often would they come back up for air? Would the gadgets and the chargers come in pairs? Domestic archaeology is fraught with many risks Rewards will come on eBay when they sell those floppy disks And think what they might get For a VHS cassette! The expedition due to go and everyone prepared With the flashlights and the PPE, everyone beware! Taking a deep breath, they thought of what they might discover On the voyage to the bottom of the cupboard Will you start your own journey, will you dig out a surprise From beneath the layers of packing foam and worn out bags for life Maybe there's a Walkman or a working CRT A box of tea bags best before November '93 A silver thing with LEDs of undetermined function Mistranslated booklets that are probably instructions Souvenirs of places that you swear you've never been A t-shirt that you haven't worn since you were seventeen A tangle of adapters for God knows what devices Nuts and bolts and Allen keys in many shapes and sizes So they gathered in the hallway, dreaming of the prize With bin bags in their hands and with pound signs in their eyes Taking a deep breath, they thought of what they might discover On the voyage to the bottom of the cupboard

The kids are building castles in the sand The mums and dads are strolling hand in hand The seagulls eye the picnics, waiting for their chance A family's at the kiosk for ice cream A hardy soul is swimming in the sea While I sift through the shingle as I wander on my own Trying to find a rock the perfect shape for skimming stones Frisbees flying as they catch the wind Sunbathers show off their bronzing skin Dogs are chasing footballs as the tide is coming in And I sift through the shingle as I wander on my own Trying to find a rock the perfect shape for skimming stones The sky is fading out from blue to red Folks are heading home to find their bed I still sift through the shingle and wander on my own Trying to find a rock the perfect shape for skimming stones If I can score a ten, then I'll meander home Till then I'll fill the hours at the shoreline skimming stones I'll while away the hours at the shoreline skimming stones

We wanted to get out and explore Find a town that offered something more Experiences that we'd never dreamt But we found that no matter where we went We would walk identical streets With nothing new to buy or even eat All the signs with all established names Shopping centres looking just the same Find a new city or go to the highlands Go from the Lizard towards Dunnet Head Wherever you are on these wind-beaten islands You'll never be more than a mile from a Greggs In search of variety, please We took an Airbus overseas But we saw from the cab to our hotel Some logos we already knew so well All the world over the signs are familiar Across the whole planet the industry spreads Be it Spain or Japan, or France or Australia It's Starbucks or Costa, McDonalds or Greggs To find a place where Brew Dog have no bars We launched ourselves towards Mars With one simple goal for our mission The pioneers on this first expedition And the spacecraft descended, its engines in chorus Approaching the surface extending its legs We looked through the porthole and saw waiting for us A Starbucks, a Costa, McDonalds and Greggs Gemini, Voyager, small Martian rover Hop on a Soyuz towards ISS Wherever you travel the universe over You're only a light year away from a Greggs You're only a light year away from a Greggs

Fighting as the underdog with back against the wall But the bigger they are the harder they fall And you wish they'd pick on somebody that's closer to their size Fear and hate in their eyes Frightened, weary, don't want to continue When the bigger they are the harder they hit you You're fighting a Goliath and you're desperate to run But remember it was David who won It's a David-Goliath battle once again But Goliath will always go down in the end Goliath goes down in the end Goliath goes down in the end Who will be the target as they're aiming punches down? Who's the latest bogeyman they're wanting driven out? Got to be somebody else who's there to take the blame That's how they play their game Giving out the orders, balances unchecked Are you the one who's going to be next? The Philistines will taunt and the end is going to come But remember it was David who won It's a David-Goliath battle once again But Goliath will always go down in the end Goliath goes down in the end Goliath goes down in the end Be ready to play your part They fight dirty, we fight smart It's a David-Goliath battle once again But Goliath will always go down in the end Goliath goes down in the end Goliath goes down in a... David-Goliath battle once again But Goliath will always go down in the end Goliath goes down in the end Goliath goes down in the end

All the laundry's folded Socks are matched and paired Cushions lined up neatly On the sofa and the chairs All the rooms are hoovered Windows sparkle bright As if I might be welcoming Some visitors tonight The pots have all been scrubbed And the kitchen sink is clear It's almost looking like An adult might live here And while there's shelves to organise And things to put away The paperwork and admin have to Wait another day All the bins are empty And the books are on the shelves Furniture is polished and The bathroom's free of smells DVDs back in their boxes CDs in their trays As if I know my mother Is about to come and stay Could it be an omen Is the world's end getting near? It's almost looking like An adult might live here And while there's shelves to organise And things to put away The paperwork and admin have to Wait another day Let's order in the pizza Get a can or two of beer It's looking too much like An adult might live here 'cos while there's shelves to organise And things to put away The paperwork and admin have to Wait another day

The trail is steep You drag your feet You feel like giving in As you struggle against the wind You wipe your specs Like that has an effect Dreaming that some blue Comes poking through We have to still believe Though it's hard for us to see When it's so misty I know the skies are grey But the rain that fell today is Tomorrow's whisky Water finds the hole That's in your sole And some other fella Has stolen your umbrella One day the wind will change Be on your tail A gust from the south Turns that brolly inside out We have to still believe Though it's hard for us to see When it's so misty I know the skies are grey But the rain that fell today is Tomorrow's whisky We'll be standing at the bar Shouting Slàinte Mhath! We still believe Though it's hard for us to see When it's so misty I know the skies are grey But the rain that fell today is Tomorrow's whisky

I love to see the way the light Reflects upon your back I love to hear your voice When it says you're making tracks I love the sound the chair makes As you shift it on the floor I love the way your feet Gently walk towards the door The squeaking of the hinges Makes a sound that's oh so sweet When it's followed by your footsteps Fading out along the street The way that you look smaller As you disappear from view How I love to spend my time With anyone who isn't you Do you see the way I look at you As you walk into the room? Do you see it in my eyes Will it all be over soon? I wonder can you fathom The joy you bring to me When I'm finally rewarded With a moment's blessed peace I love the way you move your arms When putting on your coat The way you say goodbye After clearing your throat The way that you look smaller As you disappear from view How I love to spend my time With anyone who isn't you

Among the rocks and coral reefs Giant spider of the deep Arms equipped with extra brains Blue blood coursing through the veins Kept alive by three strong hearts And solitary though they are The only thing that one discusses... Is the plural octopuses? Shapeshifters, in disguise Take the orcas by surprise Dodging dolphins, sharks and eels Many tricks up many sleeves Beware the vampire squid of hell No-one safe inside their shell I hope that you're prepared to die If you meet plural octopi Obscured with burning poison ink You won't have the time to think Swim to shore and hit the road When you see plural octopodes And don't try to confuse me please By saying it's "octopodes"

It's a freezing December morning And we're sorry for the delay But we've re-attached the propellor So it's time to get underway You've shown your passport, checked in your case You're cleared by the folks from the TSA You've got your duty free and arrived at the gate At the airfield at Kitty Hawk My name is Captain Orville That's Wilbur to my right We welcome you aboard For this historic flight We're ready for departure now, So stow your bags, put the armrest down, Fasten your belts then we'll be off the ground From the airfield at Kitty Hawk We expect some turbulence So please stay in your seat When we reach an altitude Of just above ten feet The engine is running, the power is fine We'll be cruising after a gentle climb And be at our destination in 12 seconds time The airfield at Kitty Hawk A hundred and twenty years later Herded like a sheep to its pen You mutter under your breath "I'll never fly Ryanair again" But soaring over oceans in a metal can Watching ancient movies and eating something bland Remember that your trip began With the brothers at Kitty Hawk On a windy Thursday morning on Kill Devil Hills, The airfield at Kitty Hawk

Keeping an eye as they circle the skies To Janus' delight there's a red sky tonight Keeping them safe from the wolves By their gravitational pull For their god and their king They're the guardians of the rings Titan's rocks Tend to their flocks Herding from within The guardians of the rings Doing their rounds, wandering proud Steering the crowd, inside and out By Prometheus' hook And Epimetheus' crook For their god and their king They're the guardians of the rings Titan's rocks Tend to their flocks Herding from within The guardians of the rings Under Daphnis' careful gaze The sheep may safely graze Pan will call the tune As they dance across the moon For their god and their king They're the guardians of the rings Titan's rocks Tend to their flocks Herding from within The guardians of the rings The guardians of the rings

Hera was the queen of the gods, The sister and the wife of Zeus Protector of women, family and children, And owner of a very short fuse Zeus had numerous lovers But Hera always righted that wrong They learned to their cost, the ones who crossed her Didn't last very long You'd better not mess with a goddess You'd better not mess with the chief god's wife Don't mess with a goddess If you value your life Callisto and Zeus were very good friends, It made Hera a deep shade of green In a fit of rage we got Ursa Major A bear where a woman had been And if you're on a date with her husband, You're going to regret what you did You might get fried by thunder and lightning, Or forced to kill your own kids You'd better not mess with a goddess You'd better not mess with the chief god's wife Don't mess with a goddess If you value your life An apple for the prettiest goddess! Paris was the one with the choice Aphrodite, Athena but you better pick Hera Or it's bad news for Troy If you didn't believe in her beauty or Thought you were the fairest instead You'd find yourself, ladies, living with Hades Or snakes growing out of your head You'd better not mess with a goddess You'd better not mess with the chief god's wife Don't mess with a goddess If you value your life Hera was the queen of the gods, Faithful to Zeus all her days, Protector of women, family and children, As long as they stayed out the way You'd better not mess with a goddess You'd better not mess with the chief god's wife Don't mess with a goddess If you value your life Don't mess with a goddess If you value your life

They brought their tambourines Guitars and ukes and drums For science had ice cream In the early summer sun That night they hugged their oldest friends They'd never even met But the sun was trying to tell them That it wasn't finished yet They had shared in song and laughter They had lifted spirits high Unaware the lights were dancing In the early morning sky The hours were getting smaller They'd been thinking of their bed But the sun had sent a message That was written overhead Now it's hard to break the circle When the voices are in flow But a diem's there for carping And they knew they had to go Festivities suspended By a calling from outside "Come and see the lights go dancing In the early morning sky" Heads up to the heavens As the solar winds were blowing The village sound asleep While the party kept on going Where they gathered on the rooftop Open mouthed and goggle-eyed And they watched the lights go dancing In the early morning sky And you know you're making music That'll cause the gods to cry When you get the spectres dancing In the early morning sky They couldn't turn their eyes from The early morning sky

There are dangers in the land you do not know And I'm aware that it's reflecting badly on me But I must tell you that I cannot let you go You must watch where you are sleeping Mr Harker When your eyes are heavy go to bed in haste For the castle it is filled with ancient memories And for tonight at least I need you to be safe Have no fear of the ladies who are desperate to dine I will not let them harm you, for the moment you are mine The earth will soon be moving, Mr Harker As I slip towards the forest down below Your work is done our business here is over You must write to tell your loved ones you'll be home But don't think that you are leaving, Mr Harker As you gaze upon the castle wall outside I'll be packing up and setting sail for Whitby You'll be staying in the chamber for my brides

They didn't need a weatherman to warn them It was lunchtime but the sky was growing dark A distant rumble promising disaster Clouds on the horizon looming large But Noah had been making preparations Having got a long range forecast from on high He knew he would need more than an umbrella For his family and the wildlife to stay dry Every species got a pair of tickets From aardvark up to zebras and the rest Even flies and spiders were invited Keeping predators and prey on separate decks And when it came to final call for boarding Passengers were all checked off the list But Noah couldn't shake the nagging feeling There was something else important he had missed. What about the unicorns? Did he forget the unicorns? A branch of evolution down the drain How could he miss the unicorns? Now there's no more unicorns! 'cause someone left them out in the rain A giraffe or two made it through the deluge They could just about survive on higher ground The ducks didn't need any assistance But the unicorns were simply left to drown He brought in a pair of rats and the roaches The raptors and tyrannosaurus rex Thought he'd gone through all of the inventory But you know it always pays to double check. So what about the unicorns? Did he forget the unicorns? A branch of evolution down the drain How could he miss the unicorns? Now there's no more unicorns! 'cause someone left them out in the rain And it was only when Noah saw the rainbow That he knew he'd left a species in the cold But tell me you won't have a senior moment When you're six hundred years old What about the unicorns? Did he forget the unicorns? A branch of evolution down the drain How could he miss the unicorns? Now there's no more unicorns! 'cause someone left them out in the rain Someone left them out in the rain

Everything is finite All good things must pass So cherish all those moments Enjoy them while they last Spend time with your family Appreciate your friends For nobody can tell you When the fun is going to end Yes everything must burn out and die Even the stars that decorate the sky So if I should be in luck before The end of my road I'll live to see Betelgeuse explode Supergiant, red, among The brightest we can see But nearing its time, It'll one day cease to be Then a three month flash From a distant supernova Will light up our world And tell us it's all over Yes everything must burn out and die Even the stars that decorate the sky So a vision that I'm craving Before I meet my doom Is to look up and see Betelgeuse go foom But pity poor Orion, As the universe gets older It's hard to be a hunter When you've lost one of your shoulders So if I should be in luck before The end of my road I'll live to see Betelgeuse explode Yes a vision that I'm craving Before I meet my doom Is to look up and see Betelgeuse go foom
