Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing stretching every nerve
Had to listen had no choice
I did not believe the information
Just had to trust imagination
My heart going boom boom boom
'Son' he said 'Grab your things, I've come to take you home'
To keepin' silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut
So I went from day to day
Although my life was in a rut
'Till I thought of what I'd say
Which connection I should cut
I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going boom boom boom
'Hey' he said 'Grab your things, I've come to take you home'
When illusion spin her net
I'm never where I wanna be
And liberty she pirouette
When I think that I am free
Watched by empty silhouettes
Who close their eyes but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
I will show another me
Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart going boom boom boom
'Hey' I said 'You can keep my things, they've come to take me home'
Guess I was a fool to let you see
Vanity got the better of me
The loser's got to love
Caught up in a fantasy
I'm screaming at the gates of Heaven
Tell it to me one more time
Until you're blind in the face
Gotta have some peace of mind
It's OK, good to be angry
I never meant to make you cry
See you hurt in this way
The love grabbed a passion fatigue
Threw me a line to pull me in
Tripping upon a flight of fancy
Until the break of dawn
I never thought to call
I'm stranded at the gates of Heaven
Tell it to me one more time
Until you're blind in the face
Gotta have some peace of mind
It's OK, good to be angry
I never meant to make you cry
See you hurt in this way
The love grabbed a passion fatigue
The loser's got to love
Caught up in a fantasy
I'm screaming at the gates of Heaven
Tell it to me one more time
Until you're blind in the face
Gotta have some peace of mind
It's OK, good to be angry
I never meant to make you cry
See you hurt in this way
The love grabbed a passion fatigue
Tell it to me one more time
Until you're blind in the face
Stop me messing with your mind
It's OK, good to be angry
I never meant to make you cry
See you hurt in this way
The love grabbed a passion fatigue
The love grabbed a passion fatigue
Like a vision flying round this room
I did feel sure as my time too
I've been inside your mind in outer space
I feel the city crying, beg for more
Threw a key chain across your floor
A soul destroying motion holds your face
Can you feel it, do you want it, do you get it?
It's your last chance
It's the last dance
Searching for a better love
Never mind the weather love
Come on taste a little of my love boy
Come on baby take my love
Take my love
A little party, let's go deep
Set your dream free fall at my feet
I'm falling for you baby like a charm
I never knew that life could be so sweet
So unusual, so complete
I'm falling like a baby in your arms
Can you feel it, do you want it, do you get it?
It's your last chance
It's the last dance
Searching for a better love
Never mind the weather love
Come on taste a little of my love boy
Come on baby take my love
Taste my love
Feel it, want it, get it?
It's your last chance
It's the last dance
Searching for a better love
Never mind the weather love
Come on taste a little of my love boy
Come on baby taste my love
Searching for a better love
Never mind the weather love
Come on taste a little love my love boy
Come on baby taste my love
Take my love
Ave Maria
Gratia plena
Dominus tecum
Benedicta tu in mulieribus
Et benedictus
Fructus ventris tui Jesus
Sancta Maria

Ora pro nobis
Nobis peccatoribus
Nunc et in hora
In hora mortis nostrae
I heard you on the wireless back in '52
Lying awake intent on tuning in on you
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through
Oh-a oh
They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine and new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see
Oh-a oh
I met your children
Oh-a oh
What did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Pictures came and broke your heart
Oh-a-a-a oh
And now we meet in an abandoned studio
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember the jingles used to go
Oh-a oh
You were the first one
Oh-a oh
You were the last one
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car
We can't rewind we've gone to far
Oh-a-a-a oh
Oh-a-a-a oh
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car
We can't rewind we've gone to far
Pictures came and broke your heart
Put the blame on VCR
You are a radio star
You are a radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
