Here’s forty shillings on the drum
For those who volunteer to come,
To ‘list and fight the foe today
Over the Hills and far away
[Chorus]
When duty calls me I must go
To stand and face another foe
But part of me will always stray
Over the hills and far away
[Chorus]
If I should fall to rise no more
As many comrades did before
Then ask the fifes and drums to play
Over the hills and far away
[Chorus]
Then fall in lads behind the drum
With colours blazing like the sun
Along the road to come what may
Over the hills and far away
[Chorus] 3x
[Chorus]: O’er the hills and o’er the main
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
King George commands and we obey
Over the hills and far away

Here is the news
Coming to you every hour on the hour
Here is the news
The weather’s fine but there may be a meteor shower
Here is the news
A cure’s been found for good old rocket lag
Here is the news
Someone left their life behind in a plastic bag
Here is the news
Another action filled adventure
Here is the news
All the worst from the world convention
Here is the news
I wanna go home, I want my baby back
Here is the news
Somebody has broken out of Satellite 2
Here is the news
Look very carefully, it may be you

I hear you’re alive, how disappointing
I’ve also survived, no thanks to you
Did I not bring you some glee, Mr. Oh-Look-At-Me
Now I’ll burn all the memories of you
All those lonely nights
As I burn all the memories of you
(Ladies and gentlemen, you have been the most beautiful audience! Remember to toss a coin if you can! If anyone needs me, I’ll be at the bar.)
What for do you yearn?
It’s the point of no return
After everything we did, we saw
You turned your back on me
What for do you yearn?
Watch that Butcher burn!
At the end of my days when I’m through
No word that I’ve written will ring quite as true
As burn
Burn, Butcher, burn!
Burn, Butcher, burn!
Burn, burn, burn!
Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn…
Burn
Watch me burn all the memories of you

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small,
And the ones that mother gives you
Don’t do anything at all.
Go ask Alice
When she’s ten feet tall.
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you’re going to fall,
Tell ’em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call.
Call Alice
When she was just small.
When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you’ve just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low.
Go ask Alice
I think she’ll know.
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead,
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen’s “off with her head!”
Remember what the dormouse said:
“Feed your head. Feed your head. Feed your head”

Sometimes I wonder by the look in your eyes
When I’m standing beside you
There’s a fever burning deep inside
Is there another in your memory
Do you think of that someone
When you hear that special melody?
I always stop and think of you especially
When the words of a love song
Touch the very heart of me
There’ll be sad songs to make you cry
Love songs often do
They can touch the heart of someone new
Saying I love you
I often wonder how it could be you loving me
Two hearts in perfect harmony
I’ll count the hours until that day
A rhapsody plays a melody for you and me
Until the moment that you give your love to me
You’re the one I care for
The one that I would wait for
There’ll be sad songs to make you cry
Love songs often do
They can touch the heart of someone new
Saying I love you
Oh
You’re my desire, you take me higher
My love is like a river running so deep
I always stop and think of you especially
When the words of a love song
Touch the very heart of me
There’ll be sad songs to make you cry
Love songs often do
They can touch the heart of someone new
Saying I love you
There’ll be sad songs to make you cry
Love songs often do
They can touch the heart of someone new
Saying I love you
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Oooh, saying I love you
I love you
