Volunteer for the Star Ships!Starship Jingle
Earth had become an overcrowded utopia. In the greatest publicity campaign ever,
the governments of Earth tried to persuade its people to..."Go Forth and
Multiply." The Star Drive had been perfected, the first ships were almost
ready. The only trouble was...nobody wanted to go!
(Chorus)
They're building a Starship! A Starship! A Starship! To take us away, take us away, take us away, Away, away, away, away... (Lead) Don't be afraid, the stars are only mirrors Reflecting all the mornings yet to come! Beyond the sky are worlds without an ending Could you? Would I? Deny our children's children's children's children, Such a great big, wonderful Galaxy! (Chorus) They're building a Starship! A Starship! A Starship! To take us away, take us away, take us away, Away, away, away, away... (Lead) Don't be afraid, each container will sustain you Immortal drives are energized by time! The warp and whelm of space is not unbending So why not try to give a little Nebuli Could you? Would I? Deny our children, such a high? Our children, such a Great big, wonderful Galaxy! (Chorus) They're building a Starship! A Starship! A Starship! They're building a Starship! A Starship! A Starship! They're building a Starship! A Starship! A Starship! They're building a Starship! A Starship! A Starship! (Lead) The Greatest dream, the human race ascending Could you? Would I? Deny our children's children's children's children, Such a great big, wonderful Galaxy! (Chorus): They're building a Starship! (Lead): Such a great big, wonderful mystery! (Chorus): They're building a Starship! (Lead): Such a great big, wonderful history! (Chorus): They're building a Starship! (Lead): Such a great big, wonderful Galaxy! (Chorus) They're building a Starship! A Starship! A Starship! To take us away, take us away, take us away, Away, away... ...Goodbye! |

WebMaster's Note
What can I say about "Starship Jingle"? Space Flight! Ever since I was a child and watched the Apollo missions on
TV I have longed for it. So much it almost hurts! Starship Jingle gives me some release from that. I close my eyes and listen
And for a little while, at least, I can almost see myself volunteering for a colony mission, lost among the crowds of those
who like me, would not deny our children's children's children's children such a great big wonderful Galaxy!
But I can't help thinking about the next three songs, the IGTB's  , and
how they complement the Starship Jingle. Many of man's projects begin with exuberating enthusiasm, only to meet with painful,
sometimes tragic results.Perhaps another lesson in humility. I LOVE this album! |
