Welcome To The Future Welcome To The Future Is it everything you hoped and dreamed? Living In The Future Is it boring you? Cos it’s killing me Welcome To The Future Buckle up your moon boots Button up your one-piece silver suit Living In The Future Fire up your jet-pack Jump into a space-car Gonna take a trip to Mars Driving down the super highway With too much information Slamming on the brakes to slow it down Sitting in your bedroom Typing in a chat room Talking to your so called friends Trying to find a girl who never Took a picture with Vaseline on the lens Welcome To The Future Titanium Kaisers all build synthesisers As we’re colonising the moon Seas of tranquillity, swim to infinity In earth’s gravitational pull Welcome To The Future Living in the future Is it everything you hoped and dreamed?

Do You Want To Kill Me? Why are you telling me now You like my hair much better When I let it grow a little bit longer? Why are you telling me how You think the clothes I wear Make it look as though I’m trying to dress younger? Criticising my songs and Talking shit like "You’re wrong, I think your melody could be a bit stronger" It’s one thing after the other In one ear, out the other girl Now it’s making me wonder Do you want to kill me? Cos you’re going the right way about it baby But if you want to fix me Then you’re going the wrong way You’re going the wrong way baby Why won’t you leave me alone? Cos it’s a brand new day and I’m Hoping maybe it won’t be the same way Better the devil you know Just a phrase you say when you Want to get away with all your games I’m tired of hanging around Hearing you putting me down In front of people who can see what you’re playing I’ve waited hour after hour For you to trip on your power girl Can you hear what I’m saying? No one knows you like I do and I don’t know What you’re thinking so what hope is there of Ever understanding what you want? I’m still wondering

Ghosts In My Head Dig a great big hole and then Bury all your bones Where no one could find them Six feet under Two can play that game I’ll be burying my head In the sand from now on No more problems I can see my breath Standing on my own I feel it on my shoulder Stone cold sober Talking to myself Saying things I never Should have said to no one Let it go now All the Ghosts In My Head And underneath my bed Don’t scare me no more I believe what I see And what I don’t Can’t hurt me anymore Bitter and twisted Things are never gonna go The way we planned them Nothing happens They never existed Wake up in the morning and The dream is over Ten years older now You can’t believe everything you hear

Above The Clouds Standing on the rooftop looking down Thinking it’s a long way to the ground I could take a dive but I’ll never fall Nothing can hurt me, nothing can hurt me Walking through the streets in my fancy clothes Talking in a language nobody knows They don’t understand where I’m coming from They’ll never believe me, never believe me When you’re up ten thousand feet Above The Clouds Is it easier to find your way back home? Or when you look out Does it hurt when you look out Towards the sun And realise you’re all alone Realise you’re all alone Running with my head down through the crowds Screaming in my brain doesn’t make a sound I can see the light but I’ll never fall Nothing can hurt me, nothing can hurt me I'm hiding out of reach every where I go Lying through my teeth so nobody knows Who I really am, if I ever change They’ll never believe me, never believe me When you’re reaching out to touch somebody’s hand Nothing is real And you’re staring into nowhere How does it feel? How does it feel?

Dorian Gray 04:01
Dorian Gray Walk a mile in my shoes and I’ll Prove in another year, I’ll be younger still What have I got to lose? Oh I’m tired of pretending There’s no happy end in sight Secrets that nobody knows I keep They haunt me when I try to sleep The picture keeps growing older but I stay the same like Dorian Gray and my Will to live I am losing slowly Nobody left, there’s only myself to blame And we fight to stay alive Say goodbye to this face Do my eyes and the worry lines Have a tale to tell? There’s no ink on this page But the story tomorrow reads I’m a hollow shell Image of a soul disguised Truth behind a million lies It’s easy to be well behaved When we’re happy as can be But it’s not so easy when The shades of grey come out to play The pleasure will rule you but Don’t let it fool you

Boy In A Bubble All the pretty colours on your video screen Look so beautiful it hurts so bad you gotta look away All the pretty lovers making movie scenes Look so happy that it makes you sad because you don’t know Turn around and around now turn it around Turn around again You’re never gonna live in this word alone Just a Boy In A Bubble that nobody knows You’re never gonna leave this world alone Just A Boy In A Bubble with nowhere to go All the pretty monsters in the deep blue sea Make you wonder if it’s far too low for you to ever go All the pretty creatures in their flying machines Float magnificently upside down before they hit the ground Turn around and around now turn it around Turn around again You’re never gonna live in this word alone Just a Boy In A Bubble that nobody knows You’re never gonna leave this world alone Just A Boy In A Bubble with nowhere to go Looking out through a plastic sheet undercover And it feels alright Til the day that you go outside and discover There’s more to this life Close your eyes, waiting for a miracle to recover And you fall asleep, to a lucid dream and you Never wake up

Mr Spaceman 04:47
Mr Spaceman Hey there, Mr Spaceman Do we look like ants to you? From way up there, in your Spacecraft Is there nothing you can do? But keep on watching us like a movie That you’ve seen a hundred times before Even though you know the ending You won’t tell us what’s in store Look at the stars and see where you are Up in the darkness shining Follow the end to where it begins Back to wherever you’re hiding All the friends you used to know They never saw it coming All the places that you go Are you tired of running? Hey there, Mr Spaceman Do we look like clowns to you? From way up there, in your Spacecraft Are we entertaining you? You keep on watching us like a movie That you’ve seen a thousand times before Even though you know the ending You won’t tell us what’s in store Sit on your own, the heir to the throne Your Kingdom has long since fallen Building a wall and slamming the doors To keep out your destiny calling All the years have come and gone And they came to nothing But if you find a reason why Well at least that’s something Stories of our lives are written out Across the Universe Pictures in our minds are what is real

Sleep Walking Open my eyes, what do I see? I’m on a planet of make believe Am I hypnotised, is this real? How did I ever get way out here? It’s 4am, my feet are cold I took my shoes off out in the snow I count to 10, I’m out of control The lights are on but there’s no one at home Everyone’s walking, Everyone’s talking in their sleep And dreaming the days away Everyone’s walking, Everyone’s talking in their sleep And dreaming the day away If I learned to fly How would it feel If I could travel at the speed of sound? Shooting through the sky Made of steel I’m leaping buildings in a single bound Dust in my eyes, out in the streets I took my shoes off climbing the stairs I'm working overtime counting sheep Hey Mr Sandman, we don’t care! Everyone’s walking, Everyone’s talking in their sleep And dreaming the days away Everyone’s walking, Everyone’s talking in their sleep And dreaming the days away All this boredom makes me Feel so very tired If we wake up someday we’ll find That in our slumber we’ve missed out On half our lives We won’t get them back again

Man On A Wire Streets of London, streets of New York So full of promise and so full of hope Streets of Paris to the streets of Rome Searching for somewhere that feels like home I look around at all of the people and the places I have seen I hit the ground but I don’t make a sound I’m a Man On A Wire, I couldn’t get any higher I’m a Man On A Wire and some day I’ll fall Oh I’ll fall I’m a Man On A Wire, I couldn’t get any higher I’m a Man On A Wire and some day I’ll fall Oh I’ll fall Pains in my chest, cold in my hands Feels so familiar I understand Tasting my fear, shake in my shoes There must be something left to lose I stand alone in front of an empty stage With a thousand miles below Pray to the sky, maybe I’ll learn to fly I’m a Man On A Wire, I couldn’t get any higher I’m a Man On A Wire and some day I’ll fall Oh I’ll fall I’m a Man On A Wire, I couldn’t get any higher I’m a Man On A Wire and some day I’ll fall Some day I’ll fall You’ll find that time will take it’s toll and It’s so easy to forget yourself But you’ll remember, come September If you try… I stand alone in front of an empty stage With a thousand miles below Pray to the sky, maybe I’ll learn to fly

Hello Hello 03:44
Hello Hello New street, same old town Tear it up and then burn it down So long yesterday All the memories fade to grey, fade away New home, paper walls Signs of life echo down the hall Warm bed, frozen floor Drag my feet to walk out the door, out the door Hello, Hello can anyone hear me? Come in, Come in does anyone read me? Somewhere in this world you must be out there Hello, Hello is anyone listening? Come in, Come in you know that I’m wishing Somewhere in this world you must be out there Grown up, feeling down No one here to send in the clowns Bad dreams, good ideas All alone with my biggest fears, bored to tears Too fast, take it slow Drink it in there’s not far to go Who’s right, to say I’m wrong? Trying to find out where we belong, we belong Hello, Hello can anyone hear me? Come in, Come in does anyone read me? Somewhere in this world you must be out there Hello, Hello is anyone listening? Come in, Come in you know that I’m wishing Somewhere in this world you must be out there Take your plans and make them real and know That only time will tell Turn around and you’ll see it goes On and on and on and on and on

about

Welcome To The Future

The heart of a distant galaxy explodes in a blaze of a thousand supernovas.

The last survivors of the planet Orin, asleep in frozen stasis on board the great ark ‘Future Dawn’ hurl through uncharted space in the vain hope of one day finding a new home.

After untold millennia, one lone man awakes. The ship is adrift, the captain lies dead, slain in his smashed sleeping chamber…

All the while a message repeats on a cracked and failing control screen…

A distress signal from a distant blue planet.
