Leaving This Earth (Again)

She's leaving this earth again
There's a shuttle bound for take-off 11.45 a.m
She'll be there
She's special, oh so special
Knows enough about science
To get married to a millionaire
She'll be there

She takes a shower in a small town
Near Birmingham
Though her clothes are unfashionable
They have a timeless feel
But is she real?

She leaves the building
And walks through the housing estate
It's 7.30
A state grey sky
But in spite of this
She turns and blows a kiss

She's leaving this earth again
There's a shuttle bound for take-off 11.45 a.m
And she'll be there
She's special, oh so special
Knows enough about science
To get married to a millionaire
She'll be there

He'll comb his hair
In a high rise apartment
On the river Tyne
And though his neck is scarred
He has a strong and handsome face
A human face

He leaves the building
And walks to his electric car
It's 7.30 there's a bitter wind
But in spite of that
He turns and tips his hat

He's leaving this earth again
There's a shuttle bound for take-off 11.45 a.m
And he'll be there
He's so special oh so special
Knows enough about science
To forget about his morning prayers
And he'll be there

I'm leaving this earth again
There's a shuttle bound for take-off 11.45 a.m
And I'll be there
I'm special, oh so special
I was chosen by the captain
Of a spaceship in Trafalgar Square
And I promised I'd be there or be square
