UNDERGROUNDLING

Magic Wonder (Little Wonder)

Changing weather and quiet park

Rainy evening and crying babe

Magic wonder, then, magic wonder

You magic wonder, magic wonder you.

Missing bear; thunder and lightning.

It's not fair, but that's all old news.

Magic wonder, then magic wonder

You magic wonder, magic wonder you

Twelve simple words, everything changes

Toby's gone; owl in the night

Magic wonder, then magic wonder

You magic wonder, magic wonder you

Devilish laughter comes in the darkness

Handsome man takes me away

Magic wonder, then magic wonder

You magic wonder, magic wonder you

Taking me so far away, so far away, so far away, so far away

Taking me so far away, so far away, so far away,

so far away

so far away, so far away, so far away, so far away

so far away, so far away, so far away, so so far away

Magic wonder, you magic wonder you

It's Not Fair (Looking for Satellites)

Large maze

big walls

red sky

alone

dwarf's here

opens

inside

can't stop

Large maze

big walls

red sky

alone

dwarf's here

opens

inside

can't stop

Where do I go from here?

So many different paths

Thirteen hours time

Castle far away

Large maze

big walls

red sky

alone

dwarf's here

opens

inside

can't stop

It's not fair

That's the way it is

Who do I turn to now?

Nothing's what it seems

Everything I see

Can't take for granted now

It's not fair

That's the way it is

Firey's Song (Battle for Fun) (The Letter (Battle For Britain))

My, my but time do fly when you can take apart your hands

And happy I will be for I've never cared bout nothin' in my life

I dance with my friends and play with those who try to solve the

maze

It's the animal in me, but I'd rather spend my life half-crazed

Don't be so forlorn, come on and join us; now's not the time to

mourn

On another day you'll find the babe, but now it's time for fun

Don't be so forlorn, come on and join us; now's not the time to

mourn

Don't you let your journey get you down

Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you

My, my, but time do fly when all you do is play and dance

And a loony I will be but who really cares - tra, la, la

Don't be so forlorn come on and join us, now's not the time to

mourn

Don't you let your journey get you down

Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you

Don't you let your journey get you down

Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you

Don't you let your journey get you down

Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you

Come on, chilly down

Hours in the Junkyard (Seven Years In Tibet)

Are you okay? You've run into my head

and I'm holding your bear, the old woman said

So drink in the mem'ries of childhood life

Nothing for you out there

Your toys are so special, and the day's growing old

Forget all you've seen, the quest you've been told

Don't question the feeling or ask me why

It's not junk at all

Stay here with me

Don't you go away

Stay here with me

Don't you go away

Stay here with me

Don't you go away

Stay here with me

Don't you go away

Stay here with me

Don't you go away

Stay here with me

Don't you go

Stay here

White Owl Flying (Dead Man Walking)

(don't peach me if everything doesn't match up exactly, this is the one

I've had the hardest time on; I'm only going to list the lyrics that

appear underneath the chorus when they are alone during the

instrumental, feel free to put them in anywhere else they appear.)

It swivels its head, tears its eyes from the girl

As she parties away with her new friends

She has no knowledge that he's even there

In his owl disguise by the windowsill

And he's gone gone gone, flying into the night

Watch him glide away, away with her dreams

See him fly fly fly, dreading tomorrow

When others who know might bid him call

And he's gone, like he's flying on crystals

And he's gone regretting the past

The white owl flying

Innoncent face dancing past the masked faces

Suddenly very frightened, but curious still

Then he's there and he holds her feeling new

But it's all an illusion when she breaks away

And he's gone gone gone, flying into the night

Watch him glide away, away with her dreams

See him fly fly fly, dreading tomorrow

When others who know might bid him call

And he's gone gone gone fin'lly hit by reality

Loneliness comes and it won't go away

So he sighs and turns and flies flies flies

Far away till she's gone gone gone

Till she's hit by reality; Can't escape

So she goes to the window to catch a glimpse

But he's too far away and he's gone gone gone

And he's gone like he's flying on crystals

And he's gone regretting the past

The white owl flying

The white owl

The white owl flying

Hearing Lies (Telling Lies)

(Again, I've had a little trouble coordinating everything, so just try

and piece it together from what I've got.)

hearing lies...

Two strange doors she's bound to meet

A jumbled mass of hands and feet

She's impatient doesn't have much time

A riddle they present to her, she can only choose one door

Or else she faces certain death

hearing lies, hearing lies, hearing lies, hearing lies, hearing lies

Oo, ah, now she's falling, oo, ah, now she's falling, (hearing lies)

feels like something's not quite right here (hearing lies)

Oo, ah, now she's falling, oo, ah, now she's falling, (hearing lies)

feels like something's not quite right here (hearing lies)

Large stone faces in a cave

Seem satisfied with their little game

telling her that's not the way to go

And the dwarf say's he'll help her out

Till she finds he's leading her about

Should she trust him, or not, she's got no choice

Oo, ah, now he's leaving, oo, ah, now he's leaving, (hearing lies)

feels like something's not quite right here (hearing lies)

Oo, ah, now he's leaving, oo, ah, now he's leaving, (hearing lies)

feels like something's not quite right here (hearing lies)

hearing lies, hearing lies

feels like something's not quite right here

The First Thing She Should Do (The Last Thing You Should Do)

What has she been dreaming to herself

Is the first thing she should do

Suddenly she won't love anymore

Is the worst thing she could do

Stay here and dance with him

Give your first kiss to him

Say that you'll stay with him

Is the best thing she could do

She's Afraid of the Goblins (I'm Afraid of Americans)

(I just *know* people are wondering how I'm going to twist this one! ;)

)

Sarah's in the labyrinth suddenly it's all too real

Strange creatures everywhere they're no longer just pretend

Sarah's in the labyrinth

She's afraid of the goblins

She's afraid of their king

She's afraid she won't make it

She's afraid she won't

She's afraid of the goblins

She's afraid of their king

She's afraid she won't make it

She's afraid she won't

She's afraid of the goblins

Sarah's in the labyrinth

Sarah wants her dreams; Sarah wants to be left alone

Sarah wants some help; Sarah just wants to go home

Sarah's in the labyrinth

She's afraid of the goblins

She's afraid of their king

She's afraid she won't make it

She's afraid she won't

She's afraid of the goblins

She's afraid of their king

She's afraid she won't make it

She's afraid she won't

She's afraid of the goblins

Sarah's in the labyrinth suddenly she starts to fall

Sarah runs from fireys and dances at the ball

Sarah's in the labyrinth

Her dreams are in the labyrinth

She's afraid of the goblins

She's afraid of their king

She's afraid she won't make it

She's afraid she won't

She's afraid of the goblins

She's afraid of their king

She's afraid she won't make it

She's afraid she won't

She's afraid of the goblins

Yeah, she's afraid of the goblins

She's afraid of their king

She's afraid she won't make it

She's afraid she won't

She's afraid of the goblins

Sarah's in the labyrinth

Fear (Hoggle For Hire)

(let me explain the title on this one; what I mean by Hoggle for Hire is

the fact that he always seems to be looking for the right person to team

up with)

Yes, I'm a coward, and Jareth scares me

Now startled, the dwarf shouts out loud

A crystal drops and they're chased through the dark tunnel

Hear that sound, hear that sound, that means he's close around

Sure, I really get afraid, most times

(FEAR! FEAR! FEAR! FEAR!)

Hoggle for hire, Hoggle for hire

Yes, I'm a coward, and Jareth scares me

Suddenly, they fall to the muck

As she pulls him up he gags, 'Oh, my God!'

Hear that sound, hear that sound, that means he's close around

Sure, I really get afraid, most times

(FEAR! FEAR! FEAR! FEAR!)

Hear that sound, hear that sound, that means he's close around

Sure, I really get afraid, most times

(FEAR! FEAR! FEAR! FEAR!)

Hoggle for hire, Hoggle for hire (FEAR! FEAR! FEAR! FEAR!)

Hoggle for hire, Hoggle for hire

Sure I really get afraid, most times

Hoggle for hire, Hoggle for hire (FEAR! FEAR! FEAR! FEAR!)

Hoggle for hire, Hoggle for hire

Sure I really get afraid, most times

Yes I'm a coward, and Jareth scares me

Hoggle...

Yes I'm a coward, and Jareth scares me

And now for an extra bonus, I've come up with this little

ditty...(actually, while listening to my best of 69-74 album, these

lyrics hit me and I almost fell off my bed laughing! Oh boy, I just

hope J doesn't take this *too* personally...plus, I wanted to see how

many tights jokes I could fit into one song...heeheehee... :) )

(Clothes) Changes (Changes)

Still don't know what look I'm tryin' to find

And my closet's overflowing with clingy tights and

Every time I thought I fin'lly matched

It seemed the look was incomplete

So I stared at my reflection

But I never caught a glimpse

Of how the others must see the clothes-horse

I'm much too great to care bout that

ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

turn and face the vain

ch-ch-changes

see my medallion on my chest

ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

turn and face the vain

ch-ch-changes

I always look my best

time won't change me

and I'll still look fine

I watch the lab'rinth change its size

And the girls that come to try and solve it

And so I appear before their eyes

They swoon, but they're not too blame

And these children that they wish on

Become part of my world

I'm immune to their infestation

They're quite aware that I'm gorgeous, too

ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

turn and face the vain

ch-ch-changes

I'll never grow out of it

ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

turn and face the vain

ch-ch-changes

and I really don't care if my tights don't fit

time won't change me

and I'll still look fine

Strange fascination; clothes glorify me

Oh, how many changes can I do in one movie?

ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

turn and face the vain

ch-ch-changes

I may look like a rock 'n' roller

ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

turn and face the vain

ch-ch-changes

But y'know I'll never get older

time won't change me

and I'll still look fine
