How Long Is Too Long Wasn't Long Enough

[Aruntraveller]

Captain Scarlet,
As the Angels are flying, wing to wing,
Into the scene,
Spectrum is Green.

Captain Scarlet,

Though the Mysterons plan to conquer the Earth,
This indestructible man will show what he's worth.

Captain Scarlet,
In-des-tructible,
Captain Scarlet.

[Nearly Sane]

For here am I sitting in my tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows

Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?

[Robbie]

NS every time that song comes up I want to cry. Dunno why.

Hope this one isn't tooooo controversial:

Streets full of people, all alone
Roads full of houses, never home
Church full of singing, out of tune
Everyone's gone to the moon

Eyes full of sorrow, never wet
Hands full of money, all in debt
Sun coming out in the middle of June
Everyone's gone to the moon

Long time ago
Life had begun
Everyone went to the sun
Cars full of motors, painted green
Mouths full of chocolate-covered cream
Arms that can only lift a spoon
Everyone's gone to the moon

[Nearly Sane]

Sitting in the stand of the sports arena
Waiting for the show to begin
Red lights, green lights, strawberry wine
A good friend of mine follow the stars
Venus and Mars
Are alright tonight

[Robbie]

Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
I want to run but there's nowhere to go
'Cause heartaches will follow me, I know
Without your love, the love I need
It's the beginning of the end for me
'Cause you're taking away all my reasons for livin'
When you pushed aside all the love I been givin'
Now wait a minute

Didn't I treat you right, now baby, didn't I?
Didn't I do the best I could now, didn't I?

[Nearly Sane]

It's a fool's game
Nothing but a fools game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown

It's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Love him till your arms break
Then he lets you down

It ain't right with love to share
When you find he doesn't care for you
It ain't wise to need someone
As much as I depended on you

[Udayana]

The human race was dyin' out
Noone left to scream and shout
People walking on the moon
Smog will get you pretty soon

Everyone was hanging out
Hanging up and hanging down
Hanging in and holding fast
Hope our little world will last

Yeah, along came Mr. Goodtrips
Looking for a new a ship
Come on, people better climb on board
Come on, baby, now we're going home
Ship of fools, ship of fools
...

[Nearly Sane]

And as I laughed at those passengers to Heaven
A great big wave came and washed me overboard
And as I sank and I hollered, "Someone save me"
That's the moment I woke up, thank the Lord

And I said to myself, Sit down
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat
Said to myself, Sit down
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat

And the Devil will drag you under
With a soul so heavy you'd never float
Sit down, sit down, sit down
Sit down, sit down, you're rockin' the boat

[Aruntraveller]

Ever since our voyage of love began
Your touch has thrilled me like the rush of the wind
And your arms have held me safe from a rolling sea
There's always been a quiet place to harbor you and me

Our love is like a ship on the ocean
We've been sailing with a cargo full of love and devotion
So I'd like to know where, you got the notion
Said I'd like to know where, you got the notion

(To rock the boat), don't rock the boat baby
(Rock the boat), don't tip the boat over
(Rock the boat), don't rock the boat baby
(Rock the boat)

[Nearly Sane]

There's a man I meet walks up our street
He's a worker for the council
Has been twenty years
And he takes no lip off nobody
And litter off the gutter
Puts it in a bag
And never seems to mutter
And he packs his lunch in a "sunblest" bag
The children call him "bogie"
He never lets on
But I know 'cause he once told me
He let me know a secret about the money in his kitty
He's gonna buy a dinghy
Gonna call her dignity

And I'll sail her up the west coast
Through villages and towns
I'll be on my holidays
They'll be doing their rounds
They'll ask me how I got her I'll say "I saved my money"
They'll say isn't she pretty that ship called dignity

[Robbie]

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
'Cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow
Take it slow, oh-oh
This time we'll take it slow
Take it slow, oh-oh

This time we'll take it slow
This ain't a movie no
No fairy tale conclusion ya'll
It gets more confusing everyday, oh
Sometimes it's heaven sent
Then we head back to hell again
We kiss, then we make up on the way
I hang up you call
We rise and we fall
And we feel like just walking away

As our love advances
We take second chances
Though it's not a fantasy
I still want you to stay
We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
'Cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow
Take it slow, oh-oh
This time we'll take it slow

Take it slow, oh-oh
This time we'll take it slow
Take it slow
Maybe we'll live and learn

[Nearly Sane]

As the midnight moon, was drifting through
The lazy sway of the trees
I saw the look in your eyes, lookin' into mine
Seeing what you wanted to see

Darlin' don't say a word, 'cause I already heard
What your body's sayin' to mine
I'm tired of fast moves I've got a slow groove
On my mind

I want a man with a slow hand
I want a lover with an easy touch
I want somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush
I want somebody who will understand
When it comes to love, I want a slow hand

[Robbie]

Take it slow with the flow are my eyes deceiving
Am I reading this all wrong
But when you smile then I know it was worth believing
And the feeling was so strong, but
Slowly your love starts to fade
I notice it die by the day
In my mind it unwinds all my thoughts perceiving
What I feared all along
At a glance we advance in our plight achieving
What was written in my song, but
Slowly our world starts to change
Infected by words cold and grey
Oohoo baby, how my mind keeps making things up baby
I can't stop the feeling

[Nearly Sane]

You gotta speed it up
And then you gotta slow it down
'Cause if you believe that our love can hit the top
You gotta play around
But soon you will find that there comes a time
For making your mind up

You gotta turn it on
And then you gotta put it out
You gotta be sure that it's something
Everybody's gonna talk about
Before you decide that the time's arrived
For making your mind up

Don't let your indecision
Take you from behind
Trust your inner vision
Don't let others change your mind

[Udayana]

...

You're messin' up the water
You're rolling in the wine
You're poisoning your body
You're poisoning your mind
You gave me coca-cola
You said it tasted good
You watch the television
It tell you that you should.

How can you live in this way?

You must have something to say.

There must be more to this life.
It's time we did something right.
Child of Vision, won't you listen?
Find yourself a new ambition.

...

[Nearly Sane]

Your cruel device,
Your blood like ice.
One look could kill,
My pain, your thrill.

I wanna love you, but I better not touch (don't touch)
I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you, but I want it too much (too much)
I wanna taste you, but your lips are venomous poison

You're poison running through my veins
You're poison, I don't wanna break these chain

[Robbie]

Scary scary sexy lady
Angry scary sexy lady
Angry like a witch
But sexy like a sexy witch

Scary scary sexy lady
Angry angry sexy scary lady
Scorned like a lady
And angry like a lady scorned

Wearin' high heels
And a short skirt made of murder
A trenchcoat made of pain
She's walkin' down an alleyway
With high heels made of daggers
And eyes made of daggers too
She's here to chop your penis off

[Nearly Sane]

When I was a little bitty boy
My grandmother bought me a cute little toy
Silver bells hanging on a string
She told me it was my ding-a-ling-a-ling, oh

My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want you to play with my ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want you to play with my ding-a-ling

You know, then mama took me to Sunday school
They tried to teach me the golden rule
Everytime that choir would sing
Watch me playin' with my ding-a-ling-a-ling, oh

My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want you to play with my ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want you to play with my ding-a-ling

[Robbie]

Silver Bells, Silver Bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas Day

City sidewalks
Busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's
A feeling of Christmas
Children laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every
Street corner you'll hear

Silver Bells, Silver Bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas Day

(A bit late or very early)

[Nearly Sane]

I'm glad you're home
Well, did you really miss me?
I guess you did by the look in your eye (look in your eye, look in your eye)
Well lay back and relax while I put away the dishes
Then you and me can rock a bell

You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell
You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell
You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell
You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell

The night is young and full of possibilities
Well come on and let yourself be free
My love for you, so long I've been savin'
Tonight was made for me and you

[Robbie]

Ring the living bell
Ring the living bell
Shine the living light
Shine the living light
Ring the living bell
Ring the living bell

Been celebrating 'way too long
An' I've been drinkin', I'm ashamed to tell
Still feel thirsty
God I want to drink the water from the well
Still feel thirsty
God I want to drink and ring the living bell
Ring the bell, ah
Ring the living bell
Still feel thirsty
God, I want to give and ring the living bell

[Nearly Sane]

Take a look at her hair, it's real
And if you don't believe what I say, just feel
I'm gonna lock her up in a trunk
So no big hunk can steal her away from me

Got myself a crying, talking, sleeping, walking, living doll
Got to do my best to please her, just 'cause she's a living doll
Got a roving eye and that is why she satisfies my soul
Got the one and only walking talking, living doll

[Robbie]

Hey, I think you forgot how to play
My teddy bear's running away
The Barbie got something to say
Hey, hey, hey, hey
My "Simon says" leave me alone
I'm taking my Pikachu home
You're stupid just like your smartphone

Wonder Woman don't you ever forget
You're divine and he's about to regret
He's a bucka-mhm-buckbuckbuck-mhm boy
Bucka-mhm-buckbuckbuck
I'm not your bucka-mhm-buck-mhm-buck-mhm

I'm not your toy (not your toy)
You stupid boy (stupid boy)
I'll take you down now, make you watch me
Dancing with my dolls on the motha-bucka beat
Not your toy…

[Udayana]

Emily tries but misunderstands, ah ooh
She's often inclined to borrow somebody's dreams till tomorrow
There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll lose your mind and play
Free games for may
See Emily play
Soon after dark Emily cries, ah ooh
Gazing through trees in sorrow hardly a sound till tomorrow
There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll lose your mind and play
Free games for may
See Emily play
Put on a gown that touches the ground, ah ooh
Float on a river forever and ever, Emily
...

[Nearly Sane]

All the faces all the voices blur
Change to one face change to one voice
Prepare yourself for bed
The light seems bright and glares on white walls
All the sounds of Charlotte sometimes
Into the night with Charlotte sometimes
Night after night she lay alone in bed
Her eyes so open to the dark
The streets all looked so strange
They seemed so far away
But Charlotte did not cry
