Alien Injection (Falcone)
Dig a the, Dig a the, Dig a the earth . . .
Dig a the, Dig a the, Dig a the earth . . .
It's an alien injection, that's what she needs
An alien injection for all our infections
One little boost to see the up and the coming
A solution we pray: Help is on the way
Saw her today, she looked dead
It could be, I heard she died
Scan the paper, touch the ink
She finally got her name in print
That's all I see, that's all I need
I don't know time, I don't know space
Lots of creatures just like her
They dance with rhythm, then they pull away
Rattle and reach — I come apart
Rattle and reach — to put together again
Rattle and reach — make images
Rattle and reach — to dig out . . .
Send her flowers she can't wear
Send a card that she can't read
This happens when the children stay
Out too late and really start to play
And the boat that she rows on the delta narrow
is an antique ship that salt water will rip
And the scarf-covered course
that once bridled a horse
Soon tames a black cat
and makes others grow fat
Rattle and reach — I come apart
Rattle and reach — to put together again
Rattle and reach — make images
Rattle and reach — to dig out . . .
Dig a the, Dig a the, Dig a the earth . . .
Dig a the, Dig a the, Dig a the earth . . .
It's an alien injection, that's what she needs
An alien injection for all our infections
One little boost to see the up and the coming
A solution we pray, and help is on the way
Rattle and reach — I come apart
Rattle and reach — to put together again
Rattle and reach — make images
Rattle and reach — to dig out and dig in
(Just give it a day, help is on its way)
I like to wear my alien close to my heart
It's such a cool t-shirt,
I bought 2 right from the start
I guess you could say I treat it
like a piece of art
This alien that I wear so close to my heart
I've got a round alien ball to boot
She comes to life when I squeeze her roots
I keep it in a box, in a closet, in a room,
in a house, in a country, in a world,
in a planet, and I hope she'll live forever
Mmm . . . I hope she'll live forever . . .

New Religion (T. Williams)
Religion pretends to be your friend
Well, it's gonna get you in the end
Blessed are those
that kill each other
that cheat each other
that lie to one another
In the name of god
Well, in the name of religion
Divisions of nations
All from the same creation
Bloodshed forgiven
When for the sake of religion

Alpha Harmony (Thom)
You better grab your headphones son because
We're entering the region of endless night . . .
Nighttime in the alligator pool
Where the ripples of eyes stare out at you
Watching across the big pond
Watery is the consciousness
When you are 30,000 feet in the air
There is no alternative there, you are high
To fit into the ark around you: 2 of every creature
So you've dropped blood all over your instrument
In your disease and desire to play
Say the unknown, it's all we know
Because we've left the unknown alone today
So it was you on that spaceship you saw
at midnight
Say the cords are too tight
You better grab your headphones son because . . .

Every Gun Plays Its Own Tune
(Moorcock)
The Bishop and Mitzi were on the rampage
She full of lust, he full of rage
Looking for victims they hoped to convert
Stopped in the fifties and there found a cert . . .
They got me again, they got me again
Oh, lord, they got me again
I was holed out in 'fifty' and having some fun
When I heard Mitzi coming
Caught the sound of her gun
Bang-bang-bang. Here come the gang
Bang-bang-bang-bang!
The Bishop and Mitzi, they found him at last
Stuck in a time-slip on his was to the past
He cried out for mercy, but they only laughed
As they took him in to remind him of sin . . .
They got me again . . .
Pierrot, poor Pierrot must become Harlequin
Learn about sin, drugs, whisky and gin
Such a bad convert that’s the thing about him
He’ll forget all his lessons in time . . .

The lyrics to this novel
Songs, demos, project
The only opportunity
The only opportunity
The clips heard here
The only opportunity
(I hope you’ve enjoyed them)

Future Memories (Falcone)
The toys you're playin' with
Are made to break and steal
The games you're playin' out
Teach how to shout and kill
The money in your hand
Will buy your food and clothes
The paper forms you fill out
Each truth and lie they slowly show
Can you handle the future memories
Can you handle them one by one
Can you handle the future memories
Can you handle them one by one
The girl you're lookin at
You know you wanna use her
The girl you're goin'with
You know you're gonna lose her
The only friend you've got
Is leavin in the morn
The only life you've got
Starts to die when you are born
Can you handle the future memories
Can you handle them one by one
Can you handle the future memories
Can you handle them one by one

The Entropy Tango (Moorcock)
My pulse rate stood at zero
When I first saw my Pierrot
My temperature rose to ninety-nine
When I beheld my Columbine
Sigh, sigh, sigh . . .
For love that's oft denied
Cry, cry, cry . . .
My lips remain unsatisfied
I'm yearning so for my own Pierrot
As we dance the Entropy Tango!
I'll weep, weep, weep
Till he sweeps me off my feet
My heart will beat, beat, beat,
And my body lose its heat
Oh, life no longer seems so sweet
Since that sad Pierrot became my beau
And taught me the Entropy Tango
So flow, flow, flow . . .
As the rains turn into snow
And it's slow, slow, slow . . .
As the colours lose their glow
The Winds of Limbo no longer blow
For cold Columbine and her pale Pierrot
As we dance the Entropy Tango!
And it's kiss, kiss, kiss
Fear and hate we have dismissed
And it’s wish, wish, wish . . .
For a better world than this . . .
So say goodbye to pain and woe . . .
And we’ll stop the Entropy Tango . . .

Another World (Wishart)
The sun hits your eyes
It’s a very bright light
But it’s a cool dawn
Tired from the night past
Danced and loved and really laughed
There’s always more
Walk down the street
Feeling like a stranger
Never been like this before
Been lost in a dream
And thought it was real
Oh Lord
It takes you by surprise
When the wind cleans the skies
And it’s crystal clear
When your feelings run high
And you need to know why
Well the answer’s here
It’s a pretty good life
Always worth a try
Letting go your fear
Waiting for the night
Getting it right
It won’t disappear
It hits your eyes . . .
It’s another world
When the sun shines bright
It feels so good
And it feels so right
It’s another day
So full of life
Can’t give it away
It’s another day . . .

The Hawk (Falcone)
The Hawk in my room won't leave me alone
Choose your friends well to get to the heart
The hawk in my room won't leave me alone
Choose your friends well with time to depart
In my room of privacy
A voice takes me to fantasy
Go to bed boy and we will dream
Go to bed boy, over and out
The Hawk in my room won't leave me alone
He's here on the wall
He's here in my soul
He's the worse thing that I've ever owned
He cuts to the bone
Learn to tear and learn to die
Anger from the core he makes me fly
Just a start of eyes of fire
Don't know why I never tire
The Hawk in my room won't leave me alone
He's here on the wall
He's here in my soul
He's the worse thing that I've ever owned
He cuts to the bone
The Hawk in my room won't leave me alone
Choose your friends well to get to the heart
The hawk in my room won't leave me alone
Choose your friends well with time to depart

Ingleborough (Moorcock)
The stage that sparked a conjurer
Who magics wonders for the crowd
To bow and to bend
And to balance and spin
The bubble of diplomacy
Above the heads of those who would be king

Upturned Dolphin (Neville-Neil)
Shiny silver clam
Pearl as bright as a flame
Cool luminous gem
Upturned dolphin fins
Holding a crystal bubble
Gently to the sky

Salome (Wishart)
Salome! Herodias!
Golden and gleaming
Fountain of youth
Oh pity for mother
(Herodias)
Never told you the truth
Herodias, adulteress,
mother of Salome, Salome
Salome, the golden
Heard her mother's wails
(Herodias, adulteress)
Danced the seven veils . . .
Herodias, adulteress,
mother of Salome, Salome
Salome, the golden,
Heard her mother's wails
Danced the seven veils . . .
Herodias, adulteress,
mother of Salome, Salome

Montfallcon (Moorcock)
I hear you weeping in the night
Oh my queen
If you were only woman and not Albion
These sweet wives I’d leave
I recall your yearning flesh
Your high despairing breath
Your innocence, your lust
My pleasure in your pain
I breathe your name
I hold the hair to my ears, oh madam
So that I no longer hear to sleep.
