Theme from Uranium Girl
03:05

They lined the suspects up in the stadium
Looking for the girl who stole the uranium
Because they think she's gonna blow up the world
And as I walked along the line you winked and smiled at me
And I could tell almost instantly
Oh take me with you when you go
I'm a space cadet who won't say no
You're an Oriental potentate
I'd willingly accept my fate
Your Incandescent Majesty
And just for now that'll do
So have a nice half-life (everybody)
Have a nice half-life
Uranium Girl, harbinger of another world and you're mine, mine, mine
They say your benevolence is good and just
That somewhere out there there's a planet just for us
That you're the smartest girl in the universe
So elevate me to your right, and left hand man today
Oh Empress of all the you survey
Don't leave me on the launching pad
'Cause life is good and death is bad
I can cook and clean and sew alright
I'd even make love through the night
Oh you're an Omnipotent Deity
And just for now that'll do
So have a nice half-life (everybody)
Have a nice half-life
Uranium Girl, harbinger of another world and you're mine, mine
Oh Uranium Girl

I think of her as she's wrapped in a Tricolore
Are you thinking of me?
Jennifer, and the people who married her
Are coming to tea
She says that life is like a pair of orange bongos
That's not the way it seems to me
Jennifer, and the people who married her
Are coming to tea
Last year at Cannes she was seen out with every man
Every man except me
And at St Tropez she was spotted with Reggie Kray
Trying to teach him to ski
She says that life is like a Pineapple jam sandwich
I respect her point of view but disagree
Jennifer, and the people who married her
Are coming to tea
Yeah they're coming to tea
Husband number one was a fashion photographer
Number two's in the cavalry
Numbers three and four are shipping tycoons from near Rangoon
Number five's minor royalty, he's a marquis
In the yard is the place for your Jaguar
And not in my pool
So please sit down, give Her Majesty back her crown
Stop acting the fool
She says that life is like a blue cut glass decanter
That's not the way it seems to the Queen, and me
Jennifer, and the people who married her
Are coming to tea
Yeah they're coming to tea - I'll have a slice of Battenburg
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl but she very rarely comes to stay

Someone Who Cares
03:52

When you're down and you're feeling hurt
'Cause you've got to hide from your creditors
You've been let down and you're all alone
And there's no happiness at home
Just think of when we'd laugh and sign
Those first sweet moments of the Spring
Just think of me and I'll be there
To let you know there's Someone Who Cares
When your life is in a mess
And you start to think that you're past your best
You're worth more dead than you are alive
And the only choice is to take a dive
Just think of when we'd laugh and dance
Those first brief moments of romance
Just think of me and I'll be there
To let you know there's Someone Who Cares

When You Were Young

A sense of doom
A hotel room
That sees no sun
You were the best in your glittery dress
When You Were Young
A malcontent
To some extent
That's half the fun
You got the scars in becoming a star
When You Were Young
Never thought that time would catch you
You run too fast too strong
Thought your light would shine but I was wrong
When You Were Young
A disavowal
A flimsy towel that hides no shame
Everyone knows that you were the rose
By any other name
A fervent lie
An alibi
I must provide
But don't change your plea, put your trust in me
I'm on your side
Never thought that time would catch you
You run too fast too strong
Thought your light would shine but I was wrong
When You Were Young
Never thought that time would catch you
You run too fast too strong
Thought your light would shine but I was wrong
When You Were Young

Listening to a lot of Kevin Robertson and the Vapour Trails recently. Superb songwriting and playing. Those guitar sounds are so damn good.
