A Million Miles Away

(John Woloschuk)
They used to tell me that I was just a fool
Dreaming away my time
But they soon found the more they put me down
The more I blocked them from my mind
I used to get my teacher so uptight
He'd always have to ask his questions twice

I'd be a million miles away
Drifting through time and space
I was a million miles away from any place
I was a million miles away
In a world of my own
A million miles away to parts unknown
I'd be gone

My end-of-term reports would always show
I did pretty well at school
But I kept them hid from all the other kids
I didn't want to seem uncool
My homeroom teacher didn't understand
The reason why I never raised my hand

I was a million miles away
In a world of my own
A million miles away in parts unknown
I'd be gone

I've flown across the galaxies
And been to Berkeley Square
I've passed the time with Sophocles
But never left my chair

But I'm a million miles away
Drifting through time and space
A million miles away from any place
A million miles away
I've built a world all my own
A million miles away to parts unknown
I'd be gone
A million miles away


The Love Of A Woman

(John Woloschuk)
I need the love of a woman
That's all I want in the world
I need the love of a woman
Yeah that's all I'm asking of you girl

I hear the love of a woman
Can make your world seem okay
Without the love of a woman
Lord I just can't face another day

'Cause I'm tired of being so lonely
And you're constantly on my mind
So I ask you please
I'll get down on my knees
If you'll take me home tonight

No I don't want your money
And I don't want your car
I just wanna be wherever you are
I don't need no power
No fortune or fame
There's just one thing I need
Nothing else will do
And that one thing I need girl is you, you, you

I get so tired of being lonely
And you're constantly on my mind
So I ask you please
I'll get down on my knees
If you'll take me home tonight

No I don't want your money
And I don't want your car
I just wanna be wherever you are
I don't need no power
No fortune or fame
There's just one thing I need
Nothing else will do
And that one thing I need girl is you, you, you

'Cause I'm lonely and I'm blue
But there's something you could do
Oh woman oh woman
Now ain't there something you could do
I need the love of a woman


Blue Smoke

(John Woloschuk / Dino Tome)
When that blue smoke gets in your eyes
You'll choke, choke 'til you cry
Oh you'll die
Hey where you gonna hide
Well you can talk about the fog in London
But listen mister that ain't nothin'
When that blue
Blue smoke gets in your eyes

Now long before the dinosaur had come
There raged a global sea from which life sprung
A mere few billion years passed on the clock
And man became the new kid on the block
He could think and he could talk
On his two legs he walked in a most peculiar way
But soon the very things that set him free
Made him a slave of his technology
Leonardo, cosa hai fatto tu?

But when that blue smoke gets in your eyes
You'll choke, choke 'til you cry
Oh you'll die
Hey where you gonna hide
Well you'll be weeping like an alligator
And leaping like a hot potato
When that blue
Blue smoke gets in your eyes

Now let us turn to L'Homme Moderne and see
The ultimate in greed and vanity
He poaches leopard skins near Zanzibar
To line the glove compartments of his cars
Oh but you don't even care, you just carry on
Carry on your merry way
But you had better change your foolish ways
Or you'll be sorry come the judgment day
Oh yeah you'll see
You'll be sorry real soon

But my my my my my
When the blue smoke gets in your eyes
You'll choke, choke 'til you cry
Wanna die
Hey where you gonna hide
Well you can talk about the fog in London
But listen mister that ain't nothin'
When that blue
Blue smoke gets in your eyes


I Don't Wanna Go Home

(John Woloschuk)
I see the hour's getting kinda late
I know you've got to get to work by eight
Yes I know
But I don't wanna go home

I wish you'd ask me to spend the night
It may be wrong and it may be right
I don't know
But I don't wanna go home

'Cause when I'm with you the time just goes by so fast
Each time I kiss you I pray it won't be the last

So if you ask me to go I will
But I don't wanna go home
Yes if you ask me you know I will
But I don't wanna go home
I wanna hold you close to me

You wouldn't ask me to spend the night
You may be wrong or you may be right
I don't know
But I don't wanna go home

The day I found you I thought my ship had arrived
'Cause when I'm around you you make me feel so alive

So if you ask me to go I will
But I don't wanna go home
Yes if you ask me you know I will
But I don't wanna go home
I wanna hold you close to me


December Dream

(John Woloschuk / Terry Draper)
December dream
The last snowfall in June
The darkest nightmare
Too late
Too soon

Don't cry darling, don't cry
We will all die
December dream
Don't leave me now
December dream
Don't let me down

December dream
How I love you, we boast
December dream
I'm above you, almost

Don't cry darling, don't cry
We will all die
December dream
Don't leave me now
December dream
Don't let me down

The dream is over


Magentalane

(John Woloschuk / Dino Tome)
My my what a lovely day
Could it be that we've arrived in fair Magentalane
There were times, many times
When I thought we wouldn't make it
I was quite prepared to take it like a man
But here I am

Aye aye bring our best champagne
We'll drink a toast, you and I, to fair Magentalane
Now let me see well shouldn't I make a speech
Or say something in Greek
Perhaps recite a Browning poem, but why
When the only thing that's on my mind is
It feels so good
It feels so good
It feels so good to be back at home

In Magentalane
Where the sea of pink champagne flows
Magentalane
Under rose-colored bainrows
I mean rainbows

Yes there were times, several times
I was sure we'd been defeated
As our Hopes became depleted through the years
But now we're here

So if you please it's time to take our leave
The road to liberty awaits us on the aerodrome incline
Gonna leave that bad old world behind
'Cause it feels so good
It feels so good
It feels so good to be back at home


At The End Of The Rainbow

(Dee Long)
One day when life is taking you nowhere
And you need someone who really cares
When the love that you lost is found
And you will want me around
I'll meet you at the end of the rainbow

As you walk through this world I'll be there
With you wherever you may go
And although you'll never see me
One day you're gonna need me
At the end of the rainbow

Since you left I've felt the changes
You drained away my life in stages
But deep inside something lets me know
Though history still turns its pages
I will track you through the ages
And we will meet again
Somewhere at the end of the rainbow
At the end of the rainbow


Mrs. Toad's Cookies

(John Woloschuk / Dino Tome)
Mrs. Toad baked some cookies
And Mr. Toad had a ball
But when he finished eating the green sugar cookies
Well his tummy couldn't hold them all
Oh no
No his tummy couldn't hold them all

Ooh good is good and bad is bad
As any baker knows
But too too much good can be as sadly sad
As too much bad you know

Mrs. Crow fancied flowers
She picked them in fields windblown
But when she'd filled her vases with beautiful blossoms
Well there wasn't any left to grow
Oh no
No there wasn't any left to grow

Ooh good is good and bad is bad
As any gardener knows
But too too much good can be as sadly sad
As too much bad you know

Do you wonder will tomorrow be a better place
Well that only time can show
But if we put our heads into a better space
Then maybe we could make it so
Oh

Mrs. Toad baked some cookies
And Mr. Toad had a ball
But when he finished eating the green sugar cookies
Well his tummy couldn't hold them all
Oh no
No his tummy couldn't hold them all
And we say

Ooh good is good and bad is bad
As anybody knows
But too too much good can be as sadly sad
As too much bad you know


Maybe I'll Move To Mars

(Dee Long)
Me:
Talked to a friend one lonely day
Told me that he was going away
He's got to live some other place

Him:
I can't stay here another day
And to you I say
Tomorrow I leave for outer space
Maybe I'll move to Mars
Maybe I'll move to Mars

Me:
Naturally I was quite surprised
When I looked into his eyes
To see he was quite sincere

Him:
All that I have to say
Mars is not so far away
How we will get there is quite clear
Maybe I'll move to Mars
Maybe I'll move to Mars
One step closer to the stars
Maybe I'll move to Mars

Me:
How will we get there?
How will we get there?
I can't believe that what you say is true
And I can't leave
I've got too much to do

Him:
Oh we can get there, we have found a way
We're all prepared and we can leave today
Me and my friends have worked for years
And we have planned well, have no fears

Me:
How will we get there?
Him:
We have found a way
Me:
How will we get there?
Him:
We can leave today
Me and my friends have planned most properly
We have built a ship that floats on gravity

Me:
And then he turned and walked away
Can't tell you how I regret that day
I've not seen him for years

Him:
I sent a card today to my friend so far away
Having a nice time wish that you were here
Maybe I'll move to Mars
Maybe I'll move to Mars
One step closer to the stars
Maybe I'll move to Mars
