Eurythmics

Leaving This Earth (Again)

Eurythmics


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!
