1.The Narrator
This program is coming to you via relay 2 satellite, a
spacecraft orbiting the earth at a speed of over 17,000 miles
per hour.
The musical selections you're about to hear were first
tape-recorded and fed in to a transmitter where they were beamed
to relay 2 spacecraft.
As you listen to the musical selections, note the clarity and
excellent stereophonic separation between the left and right
channels, even after traversing 12,000 miles through space.
2.Tidal Wave
A foot in the street and a foot in the gutter
That's one foot in the morning rain
Just round the corner, a hole full of water,
And hot dog, it's a holiday
Splish splash in a pool of puddle,
Don't trip up on a tidal wave
You'll crash in a murky muddle
Then you'll know how it feels
To know you're not real
Went for a walk and I climbed up a tower
It seemed like a thousand years
'til I reached the top, oh, and I picked a flower
That grew through the stratosphere
Drop down to a cloud or jetstream
Don't trip up on a weathervane
You'll drown in a world or wet dream
Then you'll know how it feels
To know you're not real
I wrote a letter and I gave it to Jenny
I hoped for some return
Next time I saw her she gave me a penny
Wrapped up in a gummy worm
Run round in a field or meadow
Don't trip up on a sugarcane
Fall down in a lazy shadow
Then you'll know how it feels
To know you're not real
3.High Tide
Come with me, wading in the sea
It's high tide, glad you arrived
Look around, sea foam on the ground
It's high tide, glad you're on time
This summer's not over until we say goodbye
Then will the tears roll out on the tide?
You and me, starfish in the sea
It's high tide, we're on the rise
When we're old, stories can be told
Of high times to be alive
This summer's forever, won't ever pass us by
Or will the years roll out on the tide?
I'll remember this summer until the day I die
Then will the tears roll out on the tide?
4.Green Machine
What happened to me, wake me up from this dream
I want my Green Machine, don't wanna keep myself clean
Where can I go, I feel I'm running low
A cinema show to forget what I know, to forget
Saturdays and 'Superfriends'
These are things that I can still remember
These are things I thought would last forever
No money to spend, just my best friends
Wish I could turn a bend, be with them again
On my Green Machine, that wasn't a dream
Some things still seem important to me, still important
These are things that I can still remember
Summertime, the world should shine, shine for everyone
Days on end, time to spend, underneath the sun
When you're old, time's bought and sold, time's yours when
you're young
And summer comes for everyone underneath the sun
Something inside feels like butterflies
I want to run and hide or take off and ride
My Green Machine, that wasn't a dream
Some things still seem important to me, so important
These are things I thought would last forever
5.She's Just Like Me / Taking Time
She's just like me, but she can see the sad faces
She knows they're there, always aware of empty spaces
She knows me well, and she can tell slight changes
She's just like me, and she can see time wasted
Turn your eyes away from here
She yearns to fly away from here
I know her well, and I can tell when she's restless
I'm a lot like her, but I can't answer all her questions
Turn your eyes away from here (I know her)
She yearns to fly away from here (She knows me)
I know the floors, the corridors you've been pacing
I'm a lot like you, I can see it, too, time wasting
Turn (I know you)
Don't yearn (You know me)
We'll learn to fly away (I'll show you, you know it)
Take me, arms go round, makes me feel down
Don't shake me, alarms sound, wake up with the feeling
Arms go round, wakes me up reeling
I'm aching, been taking time
I should take it and make it mine
Or maybe I'm doing fine
6.Glowworm
Put a penny in the pot
Put a nickel in your pocket
Every nickel that you've got
Is a nickel in the slot
You just had to spend it all
Every hour, every minute
You had to make it all
Wonderful, beautiful
You lived to burn
You were a glowworm
You lit the sky
You were a firefly
I remember you in sparks
Keep your picture in my locket
It's an image in my heart
I can wear anywhere
I could never give it up
I could never do without it
I just want to live it up
Like you did, that you did
You lived to burn
You were a glowworm
You lit the sky
You were a firefly
I remember you in sparks
Keep your picture in my locket
It's an image in my heart
I can wear anywhere
I could never give it up
I could never do without it
I just want to live it up
Like you did, that you did
You lived to burn
You were a glowworm
You lit the sky
You were a firefly
You lit my eye
You were a firefly
You lived, I learned
I am a glowworm
7.Dots 1-2-3
Step inside the rocket ride
You're leaving on a race through outer space
Speeding your way to the constellations
It's easy, you can trace a starry face nd see me
Dots, dots, dots, dots, one, two, three
Dots, dots, dots, dots, connecting me
What's your sign, can you draw the line around it?
If you can, you're a spaceman, you've found it
On the trail of a comet's tail, believe me
You can lose face in the constellations, it's easy
Dots, dots, dots, dots, one, two, three
Dots, dots, dots, dots, connecting me
8.Lucky Charm
Just ask the folks who knew me when
They'll say, 'Nice boy, but he's always been
Well-behaved, kinda strange
None of that has changed
'The last we heard, he left the ground
Won't turn up in the lost and found
He's lost, lost in space
Take a good look at his face'
She's got me in orbit
God, I love her and her lucky charms
She's got me in orbit
How they jingle jangle on her arms
And I jingle jangle in her arms
It's bad enough to be alone
But locked up in the Phantom Zone
Is the worst place to be
She's the first girl that could see me
She's got me in orbit
God, I love her and her lucky charms
She's got me in orbit
How they jingle jangle on her arms
And I jingle jangle in her arms
9.Innerspace
Instrumental
10.Show The World
Don't, dont give in to the things that you despair
Use, use your mind, you may find why they are there.
Don't, don't give in to the things that you despise
Use, use your hands pull the strands out of your eyes
I could have cried to see you hide behind your hair
Smile, little girl and show the world that you are there
Think, think it out, think about what you perceive
You world is small if that is all that you believe.
I could have cried to see you hide behind your hair
Smile, little girl and show the world that you are there
Or does it astound you that there's a world around you?
11.Love You Alice / D
Pull my face back
And lead me by the tongue
Pull my face back
You'll see a burning sun
Love you, Alice, I do
Your touch has made me see
Love you, Alice, I do
Love her, and she love me
Pull my eyes out
And lead me by the holes
Pull my eyes out
You'll see two burning coals
She's not throwing sticks at me
It feels like I'm on fire
She's just playing tricks on me
She burns me gently
She's so friendly
12.Pine Away
Evening, the sky is glowing
Underneath us the grass is slowing down
On its way up to the sun
Lying around devoting time
To watching the stars exploding
Into space one by one
Take me to a distant place and time
This is not the first time I have pined
Puts me in a distant state of mind
This is not the first time I have pined
I pine away
I love the older people
They seem to live in a world of simple life
Where simple pleasures still belong
Years past, they contemplated
How the world was less complicated
Years befoere they came along
Takes me to a distant place and time
This is not the first time I have pined
Puts me in a distant state of mind
This is not the first time I have pined
I pine away
I pine after my home, my yard
The olden days, the faraway
The stars that rain over it all
I pine away
13.Shine (In Your Mind)
Here I come
A marigold for you to hold
Now one on one
There's something for us to share
Shine in your mind
Leave these things behind
Shine in your mind
And, whoa, you are already there
And, whoa, you dissolve in the air
And, whoa, you are everywhere
Now shine in your mind
Shine in your
Look outside
A splendid world for us unfurled
Now close your eyes
There's so much more for us in store
Shine in your mind
Leave these things behind
Shine in your mind
And, whoa, you are already there
And, whoa, you dissolve in the air
And, whoa, you are everywhere
Now shine in your mind
Shine in your
Your mind is falling from the trees
And everything you see
Your mind is pouring from the sky
And flowing to your eyes
Your mind is everywhere you go
You know it is, you know
You are for real
The things you need all sow the seeds
For things you feel
There's something there for us to share
Shine in your mind
Leave these things behind
Shine in your mind
And, whoa, you are already there
And, whoa, you dissolve in the air
And, whoa, you are everywhere
Now shine in your mind
Shine in your
Your mind is everything you are
You know it is, you know you are
