Rocky Sharpe and The Replays - Martian Hop



Some lyrics to the song (not mine!)

We have just discovered an important note from space
The Martians plan to throw a dance for all the human race

I got into my rocket ship to see the Martian Hop
I saw the planet shining red so there I made my stop
But as I opened up the door and climbed the ladder down
I saw the Martians on the floor dancing to this sound
Ee-ee-ee ee-ee
The Martian Hop
Ee-ee-ee ee-ee-ee-ee

Since I was the first one there and so I was surprised
To see the Martians twist and stomp before my very eyes
They did the Locomotion and the Hully-Gully too
I couldn't name a single dance the Martians couldn't do
Ee-ee-ee ee-ee
The Martian Hop
Ee-ee-ee ee-ee-ee-ee

Now right around the stroke of twelve the dance had just begun
The Earth kids parked their spaceships down on Mars to have some fun
And so I left my friends, the Martians, stomping on the ground
And even though I'm back on Earth I still can hear this sound
Ee-ee-ee ee-ee
The Martian Hop
Ee-ee-ee ee-ee-ee-ee
The Martian Hop

Stevie Wonder - The Secret Life of Plants



Some lyrics to the song (not mine!)

I can't conceive the nucleus of all
Begins inside a tiny seed
And what we think as insignificant
Provides the purest air we breathe

But who am I to doubt or question the inevitable being
For these are but a few discoveries
We find inside the Secret Life of Plants

A species smaller than the eye can see
Or larger than most living things
And yet we take from it without consent
Our shelter, food, habilment

But who am I to doubt or question the inevitable being
For these are but a few discoveries
We find inside the Secret Life of Plants

But far too many give them in return
A stomp, cut, drown, or burn
As is they're nothing
But if you ask yourself where would you be
Without them you will find you would not

And some believe antennas are their leaves
That spans beyond our galaxy
They've been, they are and probably will be
Who are the mediocrity

But who am I to doubt or question the inevitable being
For these are but a few discoveries
We find inside the Secret Life of Plants
For these are but a few discoveries
We find inside the Secret Life of Plants

Capital Cities - Vowels



Some lyrics to the song (not mine!)

I got something on my mind
But words, they won't do it justice
I could write it on a sign

But words, they won't do it justice

I need a translator at the tip of my tongue
There's a freight train of emotion that's stuck in my lungs
I need to get it out, get it out before it's all gone
So I'll just speak in vowels from now on

A-A
O-O
E-E
Ooh-ooh-ooh
A-A
O-O
E-E
Ooh-ooh-ooh

I could tell you what it's like
But words, they won't do it justice
Start it out, turn up the mic
But words, they won't do it justice

I need a psychic to read my mind
Get me a Shakespeare to feed me lines
I need to let it out, let it out, I waited too long
I'm only using vowels from now on

A-A
O-O
E-E
Ooh-ooh-ooh
A-A
O-O
E-E
Ooh-ooh-ooh

Joe Jackson - Biology



Some lyrics to the song (not mine!)

Hello, I'm back again
Haven't seen you since I don't know when
It's been so long but you seem so cold
Is it something you've been told?

She said, "So this is what you think of me
Going with some whore somewhere out in Germany"
I said "Baby, baby can't you see
It's nothing to do with you and me"

Nothing to do with my heart
Nothing to do with my head
Nothing to do with our home
Nothnig to do with our bed

It's just B I O L O G Y
Can't you see? It's just biology
Biology, coming in between you and me

Your biology lesson starts here
And first of all we should make it clear
That the species known as males
Have these little white things with little white tails

Which multiply and start to shout
It's getting crowded down here, let us out
Once relieved they start again
It's not a process controlled by the brain

It's nothing to do with their hearts
Nothing to do with their heads
Nothing to do with their home
Nothing to do with their beds

It's just B I O L O G Y
Can't you see? It's just biology
Biology, coming in between you and me

She said thanks, I'm so relieved
What you're saying I can well believe
Now I know, I feel no shame
About Dave and Tony and Phil and James

I said, "Baby, baby, this can't be true
She said "Well what's right for you
Has to be right for me
In any case I'm sure you'll see"

It's nothing to do with our hearts
Nothing to do with our heads
Nothing to do with our home
Nothing to do with our bed

It's just B I O L O G Y
Can't you see? It's just biology
Biology, coming in between you and me

Los Nikis - Saturno es aburrido



Some lyrics to the song (not mine!)

Saturno es aburrido porque no hay televisión,
Saturno está muy frío porque nunca hace calor.
Pingüinos resfriados, pingüinos congelados,
Saturno está muy frío porque nunca hace calor.

Saturno es aburrido porque no hay tablas de surf,
Saturno es muy oscuro porque nunca da la luz.
Chicas en bikini que parecen aspirinas,
Saturno es muy oscuro porque nunca da la luz.

Saturno es aburrido porque no hay esquí acuático,
Saturno es silencioso porque todo es automático.
Nadie tiene miedo, nadie tiene pánico,
Saturno es silencioso porque todo es automático.

Richard Ashcroft - Science of Silence



Some lyrics to the song (not mine!)

We are on a rock, spinning silently
But I'm safe when you're here with me
These questions I'm asking, they've been haunting me
I need some security, can't you see?
Her love was like a fountain rushing and pouring down
The darkness is putting out the light in me
She's a well to be dug, she's a university
A cosmic library - wait and see

We are on a rock, spinning silently
Won't you get close to me
We are on a rock, spinning in infinity
Won't you get close to me

Is it my genes that have made me?
Is it the things I took, is it the things I said
Does karma rule?
Well if there's a God well can you hear me now?
I am crying out, hoping you know
And in my baby's arms I need no faith
I need no words to define myself
And when I'm holding you, light rushing through
I wanna make it now, safe and straight

We are on a rock, spinning silently
Baby get a hold of me
We are on a rock, spinning in infinity
Baby consoling me

Oh I don't know when the fear's going to end
I don't know if my prayers are received - the ones I send
(We are on a rock, spinning silently)
I can't live in pain and fear
(We are on a rock, spinning in infinity)
Oh I see so much joy and it makes me scared
(We are on a rock, spinning silently)
Oh I don't know if my prayers are received, until the end
(We are on a rock, spinning in infinity)
Oh I guess it ain't offet for you to pray for peace
Oh baby I don't know where I'm going
All I know is that I need you as a friend

La Bien Querida - Corpus Christi




Some lyrics to the song (not mine!)

Los aeronautas hablan de la eflorescencia
del aire en invierno
y los astrofísicos del Sol y las estrellas
en el universo.

Y yo,
que hace casi cuatro días
que no te veo
te echo de menos.
Y yo,
que hace casi cuatro días
que no te veo
te echo de menos.

Todos los pensadores
hacen sus manifiestos
pero en algo mienten
así que ante la duda
Dadá duda de todo
y todo es relativo

Pero yo no dudo
ni tampoco miento
si se me olvida algo
si se me olvida algo.
Te digo que te quiero
y te digo que te quiero.

Pero yo no dudo
ni tampoco miento
si te digo que te quiero.

Y yo,
que hace casi cuatro días
que no te veo
te echo de menos.
Y yo,
que hace casi cuatro días
que no te veo
te echo de menos.

The Dandy Warhols - I Am A Scientist



Some lyrics to the song (not mine!)

In me the scientist,
Always stuck on, always trying this.
I try to live on science alone.
Analysis and freaky sensitivity,
We've gotta live on science alone.

Yeah, uh, I am a scientist.
Yeah, uh, I am a scientist.
Yeah, uh, I am a scientist.
We've gotta live on science alone.

Religiously, I'm speaking on the science, 'cause
We've gotta live on science alone.
I'll tell you what, Mathematically I'm having it.
I wanna live on science alone.

Yeah, uh, I am a scientist.
Yeah, uh, I am a scientist.
Yeah, uh, I am a scientist.
We've gotta live on science alone.

In me the scientist,
Always stuck on, always trying this.
I try to live on science alone.
Analysis and freaky sensitivity,
We've gotta live on science alone.

Yeah, uh, I am a scientist.
Yeah, uh, I am a scientist.
Yeah, uh, I am a scientist.
Cause I could live on science alone.
We've gotta live on science alone.

Yeah, uh, I am a scientist.

Yeah, uh, I am a scientist.
Yeah, uh, I am a scientist.
Yeah, uh, I am a scientist.
Yeah, uh, I am a scientist.

Neil Young - Computer Age



Some lyrics to the song (not mine!)

Cars and trucks
Fly by me on the corner
But I'm all right
Standin' proud
before the signal
When I see the light
I know I'm more
than just a number.
And I stand before you
Or else we
just don't see the other
Computer age, computer age
Computer age

Bikes and vans
Fly by me on the desert
But I'm all right
Standing out here
in the hot sun
When I see the light
I feel like
more than just a number
And I stand before you
Or else we
just don't see the other
Computer age, computer age
Computer age

Precious metal lines
Molded into highways
Running through me
So microscopically
Days and nights
Weeks and months and seasons
Rolling through me
So chronologically.
Computer age, computer age
Computer age

I need you
To let me know
that there's a heartbeat
Let it pound and pound
And I'll be
flying like a free bird
And you need me
Like ugly needs a mirror
And day by day
This horizon's getting clearer
Computer age, computer age
Computer age

Fangoria - Geometría Polisentimental



Some lyrics to the song (not mine!)

Me dijeron, que una imagen
Siempre vale mucho más,
Que mil palabras y es verdad,
Por eso te voy a dibujar.

Un laberinto, un esquema
De mi estado emocional,
Así te puedes organizar
Y no perdemos el tiempo.

Todo es muy fácil si uno
Se centra en un punto concreto
Y consigue fijar la atención.

Un cuadrado, una esfera,
Un triángulo ideal,
Geometría polisentimental,
Entre nosotros.

Un trapezoide, un cilindro,
Con un polígono espiral,
Geometría polisentimental
Entre nosotros.

No te niego, que es difícil,
Dividir y armonizar,
Es siempre con el nunca más,
Pero tenemos que diseñar,
Un poliedro intuitivo,
Un circuito racional,
Que nos ayude a congelar,
Direccionar el momento.

Todo es muy fácil si uno
Se centra en un punto concreto
Y consigue fijar la atención.

Un cuadrado, una esfera,
Un triángulo ideal,
Geometría polisentimental,
Entre nosotros.

Un trapezoide, un cilindro,
Con un polígono espiral,
Geometría polisentimental
Entre nosotros.

Y si todo fuera tan fácil,
Me podría enamorar,
De alguien que piense
Lo mismo que yo,
Que sepa calcular,
Una curva, una recta
O una cuarta dimensión.
Todo me llevará,
A donde quiero estar.

Un cuadrado, una esfera,
Un triángulo ideal,
Geometría polisentimental,
Entre nosotros.

Un trapezoide, un cilindro,
Con un polígono espiral,
Geometría polisentimental
Entre nosotros.

Un cuadrado.
Una esfera.
Una curva.
Una recta.
Un cilindro.
Una estrella.
Una línea en zigzag.

Marc Almond - When the Comet Comes



Some lyrics to the song (not mine!)

When the comet comes
we're gonna kiss the sky
we're gonna play guitars
and the Earth collides with Mars
as a white torch rides with the falling stars

when the comet comes
it's gonna bring the gold
it's gonna fall like rain
on a cosmic sea out of the galaxy
life is never the same again

the brave queen in her palace
will hold her crown up high
to Aurora Borealis
in the celestial sky

The priest will come a-runnin'
(...) the second coming
dance naked in confusion
as our religion reveals illusion

when the comet comes, oh yeah
it's revelation
when the comet comes, oh yeah
a big celebration
when the comet comes, oh yeah
it's the salvation
when the comet comes, oh yeah
of all the nations

when the comet comes
it will show us why
that all we've ever known
has been a lie
and the sun (...)
information in the sky

when the comet comes
psychedelic technicolour
it'll be intense
(..)
when the comet comes
it'll all make sense


when the comet comes, oh yeah
it's revelation
when the comet comes, oh yeah
a big celebration
when the comet comes, oh yeah
it's the salvation
when the comet comes, oh yeah
of all the nations

and all the revolutions
will come to their conclusions
(...) celebrations
the union of all nations

Electric Light Orchestra - Mission (A World Record)



Some lyrics to the song (not mine!)

For many days we travelled from a distant place and time
To reach a place they call the planet Earth
There was to be a celebration
On the mission of the sacred heart

The planet Earth from way up there is beautiful and blue
And floating softly through a rainbow
But when you touch down things look different here
At the mission of the sacred heart

Watching all the days roll by
Who are you and who am I?

On a dirty worn-out sidewalk, sits a mother with a baby
In her vale of tears she sees no rainbow
And someone's singing from a window
In the mission of the sacred heart

Watching all the days roll by
Who are you and who am I?

There's a building on a corner, in a city, in a land
On a place they call the planet Earth
My orders are to sit here and watch the world go by
From the mission of the sacred heart

Watching all the days roll by
Who are you and who am I?

John Grant - Outer Space



Some lyrics to the song (not mine)

I still don't know what I'm looking at
Cause I've never seen anything like this before
I have a friend who's an astronomer
And he says he cannot help me
Cause he doesn't have a clue

I think that you must be from outer space
Maybe from somewhere beyond the stars
I think you must be extraterrestrial
Cause you can open up the heavens for me
With just one smile, just one smile, just one smile

What is that sound coming out of your mouth
Cause I've never heard anything like that before
It sounds like a language from another galaxy
I wanna thank you cause you opened the door

I think that you must be from outer space
Maybe from somewhere beyond the stars
I think you must be extraterrestrial
Cause you can open up the heavens for me
With just one smile, just one smile, just one smile
