about
What if the kids had failed to rescue ET and he'd been taken to Area 51 and experimented on? What if we paid tribute to Bowie's Stylophone solo on Space Oddity? What if EP's JT failed to phone home?
You're not alone.
You're not alone.
lyrics
They blacked out the power all across the grid,
searched high and low for the big eyed kid
In an unexpected twist of fate, they turned up more than an hour late
They didn’t have a lot of what you’d recognise,
just a deadpan look in their deadpan eyes
Did he get enough time to make a call, did he get enough time at all?
Ooooh Oooooooh in Hangar 9
Feet to the fire with the glowing embers,
giving him a lesson that he still remembers
Did you make amends for what you said,
before the offer turned his head?
Hold him down with a canvas strap, keep him in line with a baseball bat
With a fingertip you link his brain, you can free him from his pain
The chance to exercise restraint, raise the scalpel as he faints
Lost the instinct to be kind, what is it you hope to find?
They blacked out the power all across the grid, searched high and low for the big eyed kid
In an unexpected twist of fate, they turned up more than an hour late
J.T. phone home
You're not alone
searched high and low for the big eyed kid
In an unexpected twist of fate, they turned up more than an hour late
They didn’t have a lot of what you’d recognise,
just a deadpan look in their deadpan eyes
Did he get enough time to make a call, did he get enough time at all?
Ooooh Oooooooh in Hangar 9
Feet to the fire with the glowing embers,
giving him a lesson that he still remembers
Did you make amends for what you said,
before the offer turned his head?
Hold him down with a canvas strap, keep him in line with a baseball bat
With a fingertip you link his brain, you can free him from his pain
The chance to exercise restraint, raise the scalpel as he faints
Lost the instinct to be kind, what is it you hope to find?
They blacked out the power all across the grid, searched high and low for the big eyed kid
In an unexpected twist of fate, they turned up more than an hour late
