1. UNCLE SAM'S ON MARS (RED PLANET RADIO MIX)

Shoals of dead fish float on the lakes,
but Uncle Sam's on Mars
And science is making the same mistakes,
but Uncle Sam's on Mars
No one down here knows how to work the brakes,
but Uncle Sam's on Mars

Uncle Sam's on Mars, Uncle Sam's on Mars, Uncle Sam's on
Mars, he's on Mars

Layers of smoke in the atmosphere have made the earth
too hot to bear
The Earth might be a desert soon, America has left
the Moon

Uncle Sam's on Mars, Uncle Sam's on Mars, Uncle Sam's on
Mars, he's on Mars

He's digging for dreams in the red sand
He's got his bucket and spade in his left hand
He's digging for dreams
He's looking for life

What's he doing out there?
He's looking for life
Looking for life
There may be life out there

(Nixon to Armstrong - July 21st 1969:)
I'm talking to you by telephone from the
Oval Room in the White House.
And this certainly must be the most exciting telephone
call ever made here on Earth. I just can't tell
you how proud we all are. For every American this
has to be the proudest day of their lives. And
for people all over the world, I'm sure they too
join with us in recognising what a tremendous
achievement this is. For one priceless moment
in the whole history of Man......

MacDonalds Hamburger
Construction works
And he's looking for life
Looking for life to wind up
He's looking for life to stamp out
He's looking for life to grind out
He's looking for life, so mind out

I hope you brought your credit card with
you, and I hope you know how to
drive on these long, lonely freeways and
intersections we've got up
here. We've got two cars in the garage,
two cars in the garage, and
drum-majorettes in white ankle socks and
baton twirling on Sundays.
We've got stripes and the stars and Uncle
Sam's on, Uncle Sam's on, Uncle
Sam's on, Mars....


2. QUARK, STRANGENESS AND CHARM

I would have like you
To have been
Deep frozen too
And waiting still
As fresh in your flesh
For my return to earth
But your father refused
To sign the forms
To freeze you
Let's see
You'd bee
About sixty now
And long dead
By the the time i return
To earth
My time held dreams
Were full of you
As you were
When i left:
Still under-age

Your android replica
Is playing up again
It's no joke
When she comes
She moans
Another's name

That's the spirit of the age
(spirit of the age)
It's just the spirit of the age
(spirit of the age)
And that's the spirit of the age
(spirit of the age)
That is the spirit of the age

I am a clone
I am not alone
Every fibre of my flesh
And bone
Is identical to ther others'
Everything i say
Is in the same tone
As my test-tube brothers'
Voice.
There is no choice
Between us
If you had ever seen us
You'd rejoice
In your uniqueness
And consider every weakness
Something special
Of your own
Being a clone
I have no flaws to identify
Even this doggerel
That pours from my pen
Has just been written by
Another twenty
Telepathic men
It says:
O for the wings
Of any bird
Other than a battery hen.

But that's the spirit of the age
(spirit of the age)
That's just the spirit of the age
(spirit of the age)
It's just the spirit of the age
(spirit of the age)
Adjust the spirit of the age
(spirit of the age)
Unjust the spirit of the age
(spirit of the age)

4. UNCLE SAM'S ON MARS (MARTIAN CONQUEST MIX)

Shoals of dead fish float on the lakes,
but Uncle Sam's on Mars
And science is making the same mistakes,
but Uncle Sam's on Mars
No one down here knows how to work the brakes,
but Uncle Sam's on Mars

Uncle Sam's on Mars, Uncle Sam's on Mars, Uncle Sam's on
Mars, he's on Mars

Layers of smoke in the atmosphere have made the earth
too hot to bear
The Earth might be a desert soon, America has left
the Moon

Uncle Sam's on Mars, Uncle Sam's on Mars, Uncle Sam's on
Mars, he's on Mars

He's digging for dreams in the red sand
He's got his bucket and spade in his left hand
He's digging for dreams
He's looking for life

What's he doing out there?
He's looking for life
Looking for life
There may be life out there
