[No lyrics]

. . .


Einstein was not a handsome fellow
Nobody ever called him Al
He had a long moustache to pull on, it was yellow
I don't believe he ever had a girl
One thing he missed out in his theory
Of time and space and relativity
Is something that makes it very clear
He was never gonna score like you and me
He didn't know about
Quark, Strangeness and Charm
Quark, Strangeness and Charm
Quark, Strangeness and Charm

I had a dangerous liaison
To have been found out would've been a disgrace
We had to rendezvous some days on
the corner of an undiscovered place
We got sick of chat chat chatter
And the look upon everybody's face
But all that doesn't not anti-matter now
We've found ourselves a black hole out in space
And we're talking about
Quark, Strangeness and Charm
Quark, Strangeness and Charm
Quark, Strangeness and Charm

Copernicus had those Renaissance ladies
Crazy about his telescope
And Galileo had a name that made his
Reputation higher than his hopes
Did none of those astronomers discover
While they were staring out into the dark
That what a lady looks for in her lover
Is Charm, Strangeness and Quark
And we're talking about
Quark, Strangeness and Charm
Quark, Strangeness and Charm
Quark, Strangeness and Charm

. . .


By mere existence, we are elite
Without a body, we are complete
There is no master, we are alone
There is an answer, where we have flown

By mere existence, we are elite
Without a body, we are complete
There is no Master, we are alone
There is an answer, where we have flown

"Hello ? hello ? hello?
..........goodbye"

The Camera That Could Lie

[No lyrics]

. . .


He Draws the moon towards him
With a wand of whales' bone
The submarine magician is returning to his home
His slow hair floats around him
And his cloak spreads like a flower
The submariner has the oceans in his power

Green finned demon take me down
Green finned demon take me down

He speaks the bubbling language
Of everything that swims
He knows the eightfold secret
Of the Octopus's limbs
His skin is silver scales
And his hair is green as weed
His eyes are phosphorescent
A sea-horse for his steed

Green finned demon take me down
Green finned demon take me down

Captain Nemo knew him
In his underwater deep
He understands the meaning
Of the dolphins' joyful leap
Green finned demon take me down

. . .

Void of Golden Light

[No lyrics]

. . .


I don't feel fear or panic
And nothing brings me down
I'm an aerospaceage warrior
I can fly sideways through sound
My reflexes and reactions
Are as fast as a machine
I'm the right stuff baby
The right stuff
I'm the right stuff baby
The right stuff
Just watch my trail

When the dial needle flickers
Around mach one or two
And something happens suddenly
I know exactly what to do
My hands move without thinking
And my feet like lightning too
I'm the right stuff baby
The right stuff
The right stuff baby
The right stuff
I never fail

My nerves are made of steel
And my eyes are eagle sharp
And what would freak the average man
Does not affect my heart
Not even if this jinxy jet
Should shake itself apart
'cause I'm the right stuff baby
The right stuff
The right stuff baby
The right stuff
As hard as nails
I never fail
Just watch my trail

. . .


Drifting through the wastelands of sleep
Rivers formed by those who weep
All missed by the wakeful mind
Memories are left far behind
But you can always return tomorrow
Escape in sleep from all of your sorrows
And then I can reach out for your touch
Am I asking for too much?

. . .

The Dream Goes On

[No lyrics]

. . .


(Brock Davey)

I'm a digital citizen, safe in my room

I've got my video to relieve the gloom

My mind's on a circuit with the nudes on the screen

Life's a no-go area - it's so obscene

You can't do this, you can't do that

You can't go forward and you can't go back

I'm a plugged in person, I'm a TV fan

But there's so many things that I don't understand

Why do you want to steal our TV - it's not real

It's a viewing game

You can't do this, you can't do that

You can't go forward and you can't go back
