The Future Holds a Lion's Heart

When I first escaped the city of York And leapt out of this cage No silicon chip could sublimate Or tame this temptuous rage When my heart was in the attic Like the picture of Dorian Gray I was rescued by the enemy That dare not speak it's name Say hello to your future I'm just pleased to meet you You were a million miles away Say hello to your lion's heart Queen Victoria's England Will never ever be the same Giddyup! When I left the warm surroundings Of my selfish difficult stage When our eyes first met there was deja-vu And a feeling I could not shake Then gravity seduced me And drew me to this place I could swear we were together In an entirely different age Say hello to your future I'm just pleased to meet you You were a million miles away Say hello to your lion's heart Queen Victoria's England Will never ever be the same So wonderfully good looking With fine and delicate lines If I place this face in carbon freeze It will never be affected by time She said "Don't confuse your beauty With the insolence of youth. You can move through time in one direction. Sad but it's the truth" But it took so long to meet you But it took so long to meet you It took so long to meet you It's time to go It's time to leave You should never have come Get back to the craft Get back to your age Take somebody with you Giddyup! Say hello to your future I'm just pleased to meet you You were a million miles away Say hello to your lion's heart Queen Victoria's England Will never ever be the same (x 2)
