The Deep Deep Sound
Vocals: Maggie Reilly

    Hush now baby made a start
    There's a jewel in your heart
    And a star that shines for you
    Watching everything you do
    Don't you cry though it may seem
    You were born into a dream
    There's another race to run
    You were not the only one
    Standing in the morning sun
    Waiting though it had begun
    May you never run aground
    Or fall into the deep deep sound
    Stormy weather turns to blue
    Here's a song to take with you


Family Man
Vocals by Maggie Reilly

    She had a sulky smile
    She took a standard pose as she presented herself
    She had sultry eyes she made it perfectly clear that
    She was his for a price

      But he said leave me alone I'm a family man
      And my bark is much worse than my bite
      He said leave me alone I'm a family man
      If you push me too hard I just might

    She wore hurt surprise
    As she re-checked her makeup to protect herself
    She showed less than pride
    She made it totally clear that she was his for a price

      Chorus

    She gave him her look
    That would have worked on any other man in sight
    He could not mistake
    She wanted to go back with him and spend the night

      Chorus

    She turned, tossed her head and then
    She started to make her final exit line
    She showed real disdain as if explaining again
    She could be his for a price

      Chorus (4 times)


Orabidoo
Text & Music: Oldfield / Cross / Fenn / Frye / Reilly / Pert

    Watch the skys dawning on you
    Soaring over country land
    Message comes from Kathmandu
    Sky is blue and clear

    program your outing
    gaze at clouds in this window pane
    where is your wish going
    the wind in control to [...]

    O
    O-ra-bi-bi
    O-ra-bi-bi-ba
    O-ra-bi-bi
    O-ra-bi-ba-ba
    O-ra-bi-bi-ba-be

    O
    O-ra-bi-bi
    O-ra-bi-bi-ba
    O-ra-bi-bi
    O-ra-bi-ba-ba
    O-ra-bi-bi-ba-be

    lazing in the sun we glide
    soon you come from watch
    touched you save me just in time
    storm is out to catch
    program your chartering
    gaze at clouds in this window pane
    stay patched through onto me
    crawling into trouble that's plain

    O
    O-ra-bi-bi
    O-ra-bi-bi-ba
    O-ra-bi-bi
    O-ra-bi-ba-ba
    O-ra-bi-bi-ba-be

    O
    O-ra-bi-bi
    O-ra-bi-bi-ba
    O-ra-bi-bi
    O-ra-bi-ba-ba
    O-ra-bi-bi-ba-be

    watch-out storms in kathmandu
    calling from country air
    mes-sage comes from kathmandu
    sky is blue and clear

    program your outing
    watching now your system for rains
    [...] is forty story

    { Musical collage with "dou dou dou" sample-chant }

    [don't come in again like that, it isn't funny
    and I can pay someone else to make the orchestrations]

    Oh island of the soul
    Valleys hushed and white with snow
    Ireland's eye - you linger with me 'til the day I die
    Oh how it hurts to go

    The waters ebb and flow
    The changing seasons come and go
    Ireland's eye - forever reaching up into the sky
    Oh how I'll miss you so

    The sunlight dancing on your rocky shores
    The moonlight playing upon the water
    Your memory will stay with me forever-more
    Wherever I may roam

    Stay with my dreams I will see you
    Safe in my heart I will keep you


Five Miles Out
Vocals: Mike Oldfield and Maggie Reilly

    falling, falling

    What do you do when your falling you've got 30 degrees and you're stalling out
    And its 24 miles to the beacon
    There's a crack in the sky and the warning's out

    Don't take that dive again
    Push through that band of rain

    Five miles out
    Just hold your heading true
    Got to get your finest out
    Your number 1 anticipating you

    Climbing out
    Just hold your heading true
    Got to get your finest out
    Your number 1 anticipating you

    Mayday, Mayday, Mayday
    Calling all stations
    This is Golf Mike Oscar Victor Juliet
    IMC CU.NIMB.ICING
    In great difficulty
    Over

    The traffic controller is calling
    Victor Juliet your identity
    I have lost in the violet storm
    Communicate or squawk emergency

    Don't take that dive again
    Push through that band of rain

    Lost in Static 18
    And the storm is closing in now
    Automatic 18 - Got to push through - Trapped in living hell

    You're a prisoner of the dark sky
    The propeller blades are still
    And the evil eye of the hurricane's
    Coming in now for the kill

    Our hope's with you - Rider in the blue

    Welcome's waiting, We're anticipating
    You'll be celebrating, when you're down, and braking

    Climbing out - climbing climbing
    Five miles out - climbing climbing

    Five miles out
    Just hold your heading true
    Got to get your finest out
    Climbing Climbing

    Five miles out
    Just hold your heading true
    Got to get your finest out
    Climbing Climbing

    Climbing out
    Just hold your heading true
    Got to get your finest out
    Climbing Climbing

    Five miles out
    Just hold your heading true
    Got to get your finest out
    Climbing Climbing

    Climbing out
    Just hold your heading true
    Got to get your finest out
