Oh Paul 02:34
you could have had it all, maybe for a while you did when money meant something, you were worth two million quid when a challenge arose, you gave it your best shot and your future seemed bright, even though you did not on the world stage, you became a star though your heart was broken by a yellow card the world saw your tears, we all felt your pain but who knew that the pressure would drive you insane? and now you're drunk, feeling suicidal because you got booked in the semi-final twenty years ago... oh paul! when the fog on your tyne is clear, you appear on television you've put the worst behind you, and beaten your addiction but before long, you've been proved wrong, the papers disagree you've turned up at a crimescene as a photo opportunity and now your days are wasted, aimless you boast that you know the rich and famous but it's all in your head... oh paul.

Santiago 02:25
are you making those faces at me, or are you really so bewildered that your face is turning red and you're sweating like a builder? you've got a simple task, explain to all around how to save their own lives when they plummet to the ground but something isn't right... it's time for you to stop rotate 90 degrees and then again, from the top you're out of your depth at 40,000 feet, santiago these are turbulent times, cabin staff to your seats, santiago at the flight academy did they call you a high flyer? if so, then what went wrong? or were you always this dire? it's time to be a man load some bags onto some shelves those inflight magazines won't distribute themselves but something isn't right... it's time for you to stop rotate 90 degrees and then again, from the top you're out of your depth at 40,000 feet, santiago these are turbulent times, cabin staff to your seats, santiago

so you're not doing too well the doctors say it's terminal there's one unorthodox cure and I'm up for it if you are because your heart's not pumping too good blood isn't going where it should if they're going to keep you alive they need a man... on the inside they're gonna put me on a rocket to your heart and now I know that we will never be apart and if I'm stuck doing this forever at least I know that we're together so I quit my job to work for you and make sure that your body's doing what it should do I'll never see my family, or ever see my friends in fact I'll never see the outside world again... so since I gave up everything for you, I must insist from the bottom of your heart, that you answer me this if I saved your life, when the outlook was grim why do I have to work harder when you're with him? they're gonna put me on a rocket to your heart and now I know that we will never be apart and if I'm stuck doing this forever at least I know that we're together they're gonna put me on a rocket to your heart and now I know that we will never be apart and if I'm stuck doing this forever at least I know that we're together

Stardate 02:54
I am frozen in time because the journey is long but my brain is still awake so I'm writing this song I feel the engines throb and I hear the rockets fire I'm on a transgalactic flight fuelled by desire and when I get there when I find my way when I reach my destination I will say hello so as I travel through space to your distant star I think about the details you've provided as to who you are you say you like "music" and "walks in the park" you've got a good sense of humour but you're afraid of the dark so I hope we like each other when we meet I hope our stars align and sparks fly and our lives are complete if there's no connection, and my heart doesn't skip it's a really really really really long return trip

Supervolcano 03:45
It started many years ago Subterranean rumblings far below The earth split side to side When two tectonic plates collide They quaked and quivered and quailed And the continental plate prevailed It drove the oceanic down And a mountain thrust up from the ground Now we've got a genuine, bona fide, geologized, energized, oversized, pressurized, sulfurized, volcanized Supervolcano! Ka-ka-ka-ka-boom! Supervolcano! Ka-ka-ka-ka-boom! Any mortal man would cower When this force displays its awesome power Supervolcano! Ka-ka-ka-ka-boom! Now there's one thing I must mention It amounts to a common misconception When I say supervolcano, I Don't mean your typical Krakatoa You'll shake and shiver with fear If you listen long enough to hear That by supervolcano I meant It could wipe out a whole continent If you've got a genuine, bona fide, geologized, energized, oversized, pressurized, sulfurized, volcanized Supervolcano! Ka-ka-ka-ka-boom! Supervolcano! Ka-ka-ka-ka-boom! Any mortal man would cower When this force displays its awesome power Supervolcano! Ka-ka-ka-ka-boom! An event called the Toba eruption Was a supervolcanic disruption It was classified "mega-colossal" Cause it made the landscape jump and jostle This was one explosive spire Worthy of the name of Vulcan, god of fire With its volcanic winter in place It exterminated sixty percent of the human race It was a genuine, bona fide, geologized, energized, oversized, pressurized, sulfurized, volcanized Supervolcano! Ka-ka-ka-ka-boom! Supervolcano! Ka-ka-ka-ka-boom! Any mortal man would cower When this force displays its awesome power Supervolcano! Ka-ka-ka-ka-boom! Lava and smoke and Ash to choke on Supervolcano
