she takes a shower in a small town

near Birmingham

though here clothes are

unfashionable

they have a timeless feel

is she real?



She leaves the building

and walks through

the housing estate

it's 7.30

a state grey sky

but in spite of this

she turns and blows a kiss



she's leaving this earth again

there's a shuttle bound for take off

11.45 a.m. she'll be there

she's special

oh so special

knows enough about science

to get married to a millionaire

she'll be there



he'll comb his hair

in a high rise apartment

on the river Tyne

though his neck is scarred

he has a strong and handsome face

a human face

he leaves the building

and walks to his electric car

it's 7.30 there's a bitter wind

but in spite of that

he turns and tips his hat



he's leaving this earth again

there's a shuttle bound for take off

11.45 a.m.



he'll be there

he's so special oh so special

knows enough about science

to forget about his morning prayers

he'll be there



I'm leaving this earth again

there's a shuttle bound for take off

11.45 a.m. I'll be there

I'm special oh so special

I was chosen by the captain

of a spaceship in Trafalgar Square

and I promised I'd be there or be square!
