Skylon Songtext
von Deaf School

We′ll get the tube nice and early
Pack a lunch and beat the crowds
The South Bank never saw such wonders
Catch the mood, the sights, the sounds
Stacking chairs, a thing of wonder
Sculpted molecules of soap
You look so beautiful in nylon
Vivid hues that give us hope

You and I should learn a language
See the Rhine from our block store
Move out to a garden suburb
Tomorrow's here for one and all

We could meet there by the Skylon
Floating in the summer sky
Together we can see the future
On the river passing by


They say there′ll be a train to Europe
Lunch in Paris, tea in Rome
We'll have German pals and colleagues
And new TV in every home
Windrush friends are such a tonic
Shrinking world, let's take a trip
Clean design, the arts are plastic
Frothy coffee on your lip

You and I are on the radar
Vapor trails across the blue
We sign the sky with such a flourish
Roll on 1952

We could meet there by the Skylon
Floating in the summer sky
Together we can see the future
On the river passing by


Welcome to the modern miracle of high fidelity, commonly known as
Hi-Fi. This is to help you set up your stereophonic equitament
Without the help of a boffin. You should be hearing Betty on your
Left and you should be hearing Max on your right. If it′s the
Other way around, don′t fret, you may have your loudspeakers wired
Up the wrong way around. If not, perhaps you're a yogini and
Listening to us upside down. Hahaha! I know, shall we swap positions
Betty? Well, I hope the engineer doesn′t get us mixed up. Yes, we
Could end up in the middle, in the middle, in the middle, on top
Of one another, as it were. No, that really wouldn't do, would it?
So here we are, back where we were, thanks to the wonders of
Stereophonic engineering using the pan-pot phase control algorithm
You really are rather brilliant
Aren′t you, Betty? Right by name, Max

We could meet there by the Skylon
Floating in the summer sky
Together we can see the future
On the river passing by
We could meet there by the Skylon
Floating in the summer sky
Together we can see the future
On the river passing by
