U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D.
Dinah
I’ve been U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D.
I can’t bring myself to say it, no siree
I’m a carriage with no marriage
I’m a van without a man
I’ve been U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D.
Was I corroded, or overloaded?
Maybe I shamed him
Who could have blamed him?
If he thought me second-class
Went in search of chrome and brass
Went to find some other fool like me
And I’m just U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D.
I can’t seem to stop C.R.Y.I.N.G.
People look and me and think,
“There she goes, the missing link
She’s been U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D.”
And I’m just U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D.
but I’ll get my R.E.V.E.N.G.E.
He’ll come crawling back one day
And I’ll turn to him and say
Go away, you B.A.S.T.A.R.D.
Race Three
Control
This is control. This is control. And now for the race that keeps going day and night.
The final Trans-America trial for the championship of the world.
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. Trains gone!
Here’s a surprise – look at that Rusty go. He passes Bobo.
He’s got a good head of steam and he’s mad to show the big boys.
He’s chasing Electra. He’s chasing Greaseball.
What’s the champion gonna go about it?
Oh my God! Race cancelled. Race cancelled. Who did that? Re-run in fifteen minutes.
Right Place, Right Time
Rockies
If I had the chances, if I had the breaks
Could have been a winner, I had what it takes
But I wasn’t in the right place at the right time
Didn’t have the rhythm, didn’t have the rhyme
I wasn’t in the right place at the right time
Could’ve been a contender, could’ve been a star
Never reached the finals, didn’t get that far
‘Cos I wasn’t in the right place at the right time
Didn’t have the rhythm, didn’t have the rhyme
I wasn’t in the right place at the right time
Any time they seem to open up the door
Slam it in your face and knock it to the floor
‘Tisn’t only me son, ’tisn’t only you
All of us are losers, all of us are through
‘Cos I wasn’t in the right place, wasn’t in the right place
Wasn’t in the right place at the right time
Starlight Sequence
Rusty
Starlight Express
Starlight Express!
Starlight
Only you have the power within you
Just believe in yourself, the sea will part before you
Stop the rain, turn the tide
If only you use the power within you
Needn’t beg the world to turn around and help you
If you draw on what you have within you
Somewhere deep inside
Rusty
Starlight Express, Starlight Express
Are you real, yes or no?
Starlight Express, answer me yes
I don’t want you to go
Starlight
Rusty you’re blind, look in your mind
I’m there, nothing’s new
The Starlight Express is no more nor less
Than you Rusty
I am you
I’m you and only you
Rusty
I am the Starlight
Starlight
Have the power within you
Rusty
I can achieve
Starlight
Just believe in yourself
Rusty
Anything
Starlight
The sea will part before you
Stop the rain and turn the tide
Rusty
All the things I didn’t believe
Starlight
If only you
Rusty
I am the Starlight
Starlight
Use the power within you
Rusty
I can see it through
Both
Needn’t beg the world to turn around and help you
If you draw on what is deep inside
Rusty
I won’t let you down
Race Four
Control
Control. Control. Re-run of championship on downhill course.
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
It’s Greaseball, Electra, Bobo and Rusty as they come down from the high level and Electra passes the champion.
Bobo passes the champion. Something’s holding the champion back.
It’s Pearl, and the champion doesn’t like that one bit. Oh, no – he’s uncoupled Pearl.
We have a runaway. Pearl’s heading for the edge and Rusty saves her. That was courageous.
The champion’s racing solo. That’s not allowed. Not for long.
Greaseball takes Ashley and Bobo’s out of it.
Back at the high level now with Electra leading and the champion is second.
It looks like Rusty’s bid has failed. Can’t anyone take the electric superstar?
Can the champion come back? It’s Electra and the champion disputing the lead.
Rusty comes through. Electra zaps the champion. Against all the odds, Rusty is the champion.
Rusty for lap of honour.
Rusty
I must find Pearl, I must find Pearl
I must find Pearl, I must find Pearl
Next Time You Fall In Love
Pearl
I guess I’m not too good at keeping love alive for long
I think I’ve found the answers but the answer’s always wrong
My first love was my true love and it should have been my last
The only time I’m happy’s when I’m dreaming in the past
Next time you fall in love it better be with me, the way it used to be
Back then was when we touched the starlight
Sometimes you turn away from what your heart tells you is right
And so you settle for whatever gets you through the night
The flame you thought was dead may suddenly begin to burn
And broken hearts can be repaired, that’s something that you learn
Next time you fall in love it better be with me, the way it used to be
Back then was when we touched the starlight
Rusty
I’ve re-lived every moment that I ever shared with you
What fools we were to end a dream that looked like coming true
Next time you fall in love it better be with me, the way it used to be
Pearl
Back then
Rusty
Was when
Together
We touched the starlight
Next time you fall in love it better be with me, the way it used to be
Back then was when we touched the starlight
I guess I’m not too good at keeping love alive for long
I think I’ve found the answers but the answer’s always wrong
My first love was my true love and it should have been my last
The only time I’m happy’s when I’m dreaming in the past
Next time you fall in love it better be with me, the way it used to be
Back then was when we touched the starlight
Next time you fall in love it better be with me, the way it used to be
Back then was when we touched the starlight
One Rock’n’Roll Too Many
Both
One rock’n’roll too many, one night’s sleep too few
Too much ringing that bell takes its toll out of you
Greaseball
The sound’s too loud
Electra
The light’s too bright
Greaseball
My chains are too heavy
And my pants are too tight
Both
One rock’n’roll too many takes its toll out of you
One rock’n’roll too many, one more farewell show
C’mon, clap your hands – are you having a good time? No
Electra
Well, my rave’s been raided and my hip just hopped
Greaseball
My mojo ain’t working
Electra
Any my pill has just popped
Both
One rock’n’roll too many takes it’s toll out of you
One rock’n’roll too many, I can’t take no more
Greaseball
Whaddya say?
Electra
I can’t hear nothing
Greaseball
Whaddya say?
Electra
I can’t hear nothing
Greaseball
I can’t hear nothing
Electra
Whaddya say?
Both
I said one rock’n’roll too many takes its toll…
And the soul… out of you
Light At The End Of The Tunnel
Poppa
Diesel is for unbelievers
Electricity is wrong
Steam has got the power that will pull us along
There’s a light at the end of the tunnel
There’s a light at the end of the tunnel
The inside might be as black as the night
All
But there’s a light at the end of the tunnel
There’s a light at the end of the tunnel
The inside might be as black as the night
But at the end of the tunnel there’s a light
Poppa
It’s the power of James Watt, the steaming Scot
All
The man who watched the pot and said “Hey, I’ve got
A brilliant plot: when the steam is hot
It seems to make a lot of power,”
Poppa
It could turn a wheel
All
Lots of power
Poppa
It could drive it down a track
All
Clickety clack, clickety clack
Poppa
It could drive it with a beat
All
Choo-choo-choo
With enough left over for a woo-woo!
He saw the light at the end of the tunnel
I said he saw the light at the end of the tunnel
Poppa
Thanks James Watt (thank you Mr Watt)
For watching that pot
All
He saw a light at the end of the tunnel
He saw a light at the end of the tunnel
The inside might be as black as the night
But at the end of the tunnel there’s a light
Poppa
There are dark days ahead
When the power goes dead
When the oil runs dry, what can we try?
All
We could use the sunlight
Poppa
But it don’t shine at night
All
Nuclear fission leaves a nasty emission
Poppa
Soon the pistons will be humming
Steam will have a second coming
All
We saw light at the end of the tunnel
We saw light at the end of the tunnel
Just dig a hole and haul out the coal
We saw light at the end of the tunnel
We saw light at the end of the tunnel
So let the water boil – goodbye to oil
At the end of the tunnel there’s a light
We saw light at the end of the tunnel (we see the light)
We saw light at the end of the tunnel (we see the light)
When the Angel Gabriel blows his magic toot
We saw light at the end of the tunnel (we see the light)
We saw light at the end of the tunnel (we see the light)
At the end of the tunnel there’s a light
Starlight!
Starlight Megamix
Poppa
Everybody c’mon, clap your hands, let’s have a good time
All
There’s a light at the end of the tunnel
There’s a light at the end of the tunnel
The inside might be as black as the night
But at the end of the tunnel there’s a light
I’m just the fastest thing you’ll ever see
That streak of lightning you just missed was me
Don’t stop now – we gotta keep it going all night
There’s a light at the end of the tunnel
There’s a light at the end of the tunnel
A lotta locomotion, that’s what we need
If we are ever gonna get up speed
From the Eastern ocean to the Western sea
Locomotion’s gonna carry me
Woo woo, woo woo
Nobody can do it like a steam train
Woo woo, woo woo
Once upon a time there was a dream train
Freight is great, freight is great
We carry weight, cos we are freight
And freight is great
AC/DC it’s OK by me
I can switch and change my frequency
See me hustle, feel my muscle
Pumping iron
Trying to build my body
Trying to lose my mind
There’s a light, there’s a light
We can see the light
There’s a light, there’s a light
We can see the light
There’s a light, there’s a light
We can see the light
At the end of the tunnel
I wasn’t in the right place at the right time
Didn’t have the rhythm, didn’t have the rhyme
Rockies
Lead to the left, box to the right
The Rockies in the house we’re here tonight
R.O.C.K.I.E.S.
Put your hands together, you know we’re the best
Check it out – boy
All
The sound too loud, the lights too bright
My chains are too heavy and my pants are too tight
One rock’n’roll too many takes its toll out of you
Poppa
There’s a light at the end of the tunnel
All
Crazy, can you believe him
He’s crazy, love him or leave him
He’s crazy, goin’ crazy, goin’ crazy
Soon the pistons will be humming
Steam will have a second coming
Woo woo woo
We see the light at the end of the tunnel
We see the light at the end of the tunnel
So let the water boil – goodbye to oil
At the end of the tunnel there’s a light
We saw light at the end of the tunnel (we see the light)
We saw light at the end of the tunnel (we see the light)
When the Angel Gabriel blows his magic toot
We saw light at the end of the tunnel (we see the light)
We saw light at the end of the tunnel (we see the light)
We see the distant gleam that tells us its steam
At the end of the tunnel there’s a light
Starlight!
