We're on a mission
To the centre of our hemisphere
Thanks to googlemapping
We know what to expect once there
We'll contain our excitement
An anticlimax looming large
We've got the signpost ready
Anything to leave our mark
X marks the spot
The spot where east meets west
Mid-way up our half of the globe
That way's the equator
This way's the north pole
Wow, the high-noon vibes when the lines converge
(Where the lines converge)
Back nine years later
The landscape's not exactly changed
Lost the modern artwork
A panel shows just what we've gained
A call for action
In praise of navigation and time
They've got the concept ready
Will the artist want to leave their mark
X marks the spot
The spot where east meets west
Mid-way up our half of the globe
That way's the equator
This way's the north pole
Yikes, the high-noon vibes when the lines converge
(Where the lines converge)
Unsuspecting drivers whizzing past at speed
Uninterested dignitaries afraid to do the deed
All down to the grassroots but the energy is low
What happens next, well no-one knows
Anything to leave our mark
X marks the spot
The spot where east meets west
Mid-way up our half of the globe
That way's the equator
This way's the north pole
Wow, the high-noon vibes when the lines converge

Memories remain of Tasmin Archer on the stereo
So many forks in the road
So many ways we could go
Our lives have come on ten-fold
I wouldn’t change a thing
But, oh my, that was a magical time
Memories remain of Thomas Dolby on the stereo
So many forks in the road
So many ways we could go
Our lives have come on ten-fold
I wouldn’t change a thing
But, oh my, that was a magical, a marvellous, a wonderful time
It was a magical time
It was a wonderful time
Sleeping satellite, I love you goodbye
Sleeping satellite, I love you goodbye
Sleeping satellite, I love you goodbye
Sleeping satellite, I love you goodbye
Sleeping satellite, I love you goodbye
Sleeping satellite, I love you goodbye
Sleeping satellite, I love you goodbye

Everything in Between

Back in the days when an LP was your reward
For chores or growing older
Lost in the record store
Some tough decisions put loyalty to the test
Reviewers echoing
Pointing to what was best
The needle dropped
And you’d enter a labour of love
Track by track
Devouring the 12-inch art
The lyrics would take you away
Uncertainty has faded away for good
Deep dive before your purchase
See underneath the hood
No longer forced to love unconditionally
Trapped in a liaison
That was not meant to be
The needle dropped
And you’d enter a labour of love
Track by track
Devouring the 12-inch art
The sleeve notes would take you away
The upsides, the downsides, the near sides
And everything in between
The dark sides, the bright sides, the far sides
And everything in between
The insides, the outsides, the b-sides
And everything in between
The left sides, the right sides, the g-sides
And everything in between

All of the Above

Were you feeling older
Or feeling younger
The instants after everything changed
Did you feel more naive
Or were you feeling wiser
The moments after everything changed
Were you feeling useful
Or feeling powerless
The minutes after everything changed
Were you in the middle
Or on the edge
The hours after everything changed
It must be all of the above
A mix and match
It’s swings and roundabouts
When to hide and when to seek
One minute you’re strong
The next you’re feeling weak
Were you facing questions
Or faced with answers
The minutes after everything changed
Looking to the future
Yearning for the past
The hours after everything changed
It must be all of the above
A mix and match
It’s swings and roundabouts
When to hide and when to seek
One minute you’re strong
The next you’re feeling weak
One minute you’re strong
The next you’re feeling weak
Everything changed
Everything changed
Everything changed
It must be all of the above
A mix and match
It’s swings and roundabouts
When to hide and when to seek
One minute you’re strong
The next you’re feeling weak
It must be all of the above
A mix and match
It’s swings and roundabouts
When to hide and when to seek
One minute you’re strong
The next you’re feeling weak
One minute you’re strong
The next you’re feeling weak
