Lyrics

D.J. - David Bowie

I'm home, lost my job, and incurably ill
You think this is easy, realism
I've got a girl out there, I suppose
I think she's dancing
Feel like Dan Dare lies down
I think she's dancing, what do I know?

I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can't turn around no, can't turn around, no, oh, ooh
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can't turn around no, can't turn around, no, oh no

I am a D.J., I am what I play
I got believers (kiss-kiss)
Believing me, oh

One more, weekend, of lights and evening faces
Fast food, living nostalgia
Humble pie or bitter fruit

I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can't turn around no, can't turn around no, ooh

I am a D.J., I am what I say
Can't turn around no, can't turn around, ooh
I am a D.J., I am what I play
I've got believers (kiss-kiss)
Believing me

I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can turn around no, can't turn around
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can turn around no, can't turn around
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can turn around no (kiss-kiss)

Time flies when you're having fun
Break his heart, break her heart
He used to be my boss and now he is a puppet dancer
I am a D.J., and I've got believers

I've got believers
I've got believers
I've got believers in me
I've got believers
I am a D.J., I am what I play
I am a D.J.

Telstar - Robert Calvert

Tell Dan Dare and Digby, we`ll be there
to fight the Mekon scare and free
the fabulous future
Telstar we salute yer
though the future seems to be
an Arthur C. Clarke mystery:
Quasars a sequined gown of stars
"Come Dancing" up on Mars
Telstar we know you did your bit
While twinkling in orbit
Telstar, I`ll tell you what you are
You`re a moon beam in a jar

We are in a monetary state
is it getting to catch up with you now?
All we`ve got is the silicon chip.
Are we losing our grip?
Will we make it somehow?

Here we are, a recessional mess
a black hole of stress
in a Valium trance
all we`ve got is the video boom
when we run out of the room
will he still have a chance

or do we stay
forever and a day
on this tiny ball of clay
called Earth?
Or will we escape it
and memory-tape it

to show our children so they`ll know
what some of it was worth

while twinkling in orbit
we know you did your bit
Telstar
I`ll tell you what you are
you`re a moonbeam in a jar.

Dan Dare (Pilot of the Future) - Elton John

Can you tell me how old Dan might have done it
If he'd been here now, holy cow
My stars might have been read on the planet Mars
Because I don't have foresight to see
If we still be together in the twenty first
In the twenty first century

He's our flying ace, pilot of the future
In an endless space, holy cow
My eyes never saw a rocket that was quite that size
Because I don't have the energy
To be cat and mouse for the champions
For the champions of destiny

So long captain Dan
I fail to see what motivates your hands
Goodbye restless night
You know I loved Dan Dare, but I couldn't make his flight
So long, so long

Dan Dare doesn't know it
He doesn't know it
He doesn't know it
But I liked the Mekon

Dan Dare - Loose Talk

You're greater than Flash
Elite with your crew
No man on this world
Is braver than you
You fly through the universe
Supreme in your astro machine

Dan Dare, it's all up to you
Dan Dare, can you pull us through?

Prepare to invade XYQ
From what satellite are you?
Take a hostage kill the crew
Mekons and Treens
What shall we do?

Dan Dare, it's all up to you
Dan Dare, can you pull us through?

Jets screech from the Earth
Into the Sun
To make good the wrong
The Mekon has done
Master, the X-bomb is prepared
Our planet is scared

Astronomy Domine - Pink Floyd

Lime and limpid green,
a second scene,
A fight between the blue
you once knew.
Floating down the sounds resounds
Around the icy waters underground
Jupiter and Saturn Oberon Miranda
And Titania Neptune Titan
Stars can frighten...

Blinding signs flap flicker flicker flicker
Blam pow pow
Stairway scare Dan Dare who's there...

Lime and limpid green
The sounds surrounds the icy waters under
Lime and limpid green
The sounds surrounds the icy waters
Underground

Messin' With The Mekon - Robert Plant

Oh, don't cross your fingers, cross your heart and soul
Don't ask me the question 'cos I just don't know
Sold by my intentions got my emotions on hold
So don't ask me why
You ask how I feel, and what it's like inside
I'm hot in pursuit, I'm bearing down on your hide
Involved in a recovery tryin' to save my pride
Don't ask me again
Wound up in circumstance beyond my control
Affairs of the heart no longer leave me cold
Oh, what a feeling such a long time ago
Don't ask me again
Get down baby, you're out of control
You leave be my side or you leave on your own
I gotta know what I should know,
Don't ask me again
So don't you ask me how I feel and what it's like inside
'Cos in the circumstances babe you don't mess with my pride
It's just recovery babe, just recovery babe
Meet me in the middle, please some give and take
Alternative arrangements are there to be made
A new proposition's not a piece of cake
So don't you ask me
Wound up in circumstance beyond my control
Affairs of the heart no longer leave me cold
Oh what a feeling such a long time ago
Don't ask me again
