Deep, out in the desert
There's a damn, giving power to Phoenix
And deep, out in the desert
There's a place, for you and me
Don't worry, about the UFO's
They only took me once
It was real quick
They, just wanted to know
If this was Mexico
I said you're too far north
And though you don't believe me, it’s true
They were too far north
This is Milton Keynes
They, said thank you
I said it’s not trouble
I was already late
I'll, just be on my way
Thanks for the lift
In your silver ship
And though you don't believe me, it’s true
It was no trouble
And I was already late
It was just last year
It was just last year
Deep, out in the desert
There's a place, for you and me
For you and me

Supergirl

I had a dream about you last night
In my dream we were superhero's
I was Spiderman and you where Supergirl
And we worked together fighting crime
We spent our days making love
And our nights fighting crime
And it was awesome
And it was awesome
Now in my dream we were the toast of the town
No evil genius could ever get us down
We thwarted bank robbers and overzealous fiends
And the mayor invited us for dinner
We spent our days making love
And our nights fighting crime
And it was awesome
And it was awesome
Your my Supergirl
Your my Supergirl
No other person that I'd rather fight crime with
But I guess it’s not a practical career
And if we're settling for offices and libraries and jobs
No other person that I'd rather do that with
We'll spend our days working hard
And our nights making love
And that sounds awesome
And that sounds awesome
Your my Supergirl
Your my Supergirl
Your my Supergirl
Your my Supergirl

Never Felt This Good

They all said maybe you’re crazy, well maybe we are
To spend all our time with our heads firmly placed in the clouds
But I searched for so long and this is where I'd like to stay
Thinking and dreaming and hoping we'll never give in
And never never never never never felt this good before
And never never never never never felt this good before
And never never never never never felt this good before
And never never never never never felt this good before
All of those years spent dreaming alone in my room
The itch in my soul is a monster that I can't destroy
I went in search of a place that I could call my own
I went in search of a place that I could call home
And never never never never never felt this good before
And never never never never never felt this good before
And never never never never never felt this good before
And never never never never never felt this good before

Let Me Find My Bones
03:18

I am a palaeontologist
I spend my life digging up bones
I brush the soil, I dig the earth
I look for things I hope are there
I studied hard to reach this point
I learnt to live with disappointment
I can stay an optimist for months
And dress up failure like success
I am a palaeontologist
I am a palaeontologist
It’s a shame there aren’t more bones
In my corner of the world
If there where, I'd have more work
And buy my wife the house we want
I know I spend my time alone
When I should telephone more often
But it’s so hard to get reception
When you’re always in a hole
I am a palaeontologist
I am happiest down here
I'll show you all the things I dig
Just give me time to find my bones

Hey Dude!

Hey dude, you've been looking so pale lately
And I've been thinking, you've been spending too much time in the dark
And hey dude, you've been working so late lately
And I've been thinking, you've been taking this all too hard
I know you’re really cut up, about your folks demise, but that’s not your fault
Maybe you just need, a couple weeks away
In the Caribbean
In the Caribbean
And hey dude, I know the car is really cool
But really, it must be such a nightmare to park
And hey dude, I think you might be going crazy
It’s not normal, to run around dressed up as a bat
I know you’re really cut up, about your folks demise, but that’s not your fault
And I really really think, the cops should be doing a better job
It’s not really normal, to run around town in a party costume
And maybe you just need, a couple weeks away
In the Caribbean
In the Caribbean

Mexican Flowers

I stood by your grave and I placed down the flowers
Marigolds two at a time
Moved onto the next, another dear friend
I’ve made you your favourite meal
I remember the play in the old folk’s home
What a ruckus you caused when you swore
I fell about laughing and couldn’t get up
But the carpet was just fine for me
Age never tempted our lust for our lives
What a fine celebration we’ll make
Age never tempted our lust for our lives
What a fine celebration we’ll make
Your grave is the oldest, I thought you’d go first
How ironic that age gets you now
I’ve place sugar sculls in an inverted cross
It’s funny when we cause offence
I remember the time when you hid in the coffin
And scared all the folk’s in the church
I fell about laughing and couldn’t get up
They all took it so seriously
Age never tempted our lust for our lives
What a fine celebration we’ll make
Age never tempted our lust for our lives
What a fine celebration we’ll make
I got to the last grave and read my own name
What an awesome tombstone this will make
What will the make in a hundred years’ time
Of a single inscription like “dude”
I turn around quickly and your all around
And the party it will never end
We might be all dead and this might be the future
What a fine celebration we’ll make
Age never tempted our lust for our lives
What a fine celebration we’ll make
Age never tempted our lust for our lives
What a fine celebration we’ll make
Wake from this dream and you’re still here
What a fine celebration we’ll make
What a fine celebration
What a fine celebration
What a fine celebration we’ll make
