What's the matter with the reboot series?
Don’t you like the Doctors bow tie's?
Maybe you don’t like the brand new Autons?
Or that the Daleks survive?
Where have you been hidin' out lately, honey?
Better effects on which they spent a lot more money.
Everybody's talkin' 'bout the series Funny, but it's still Doctor Who to me.

What's the matter with brand new Tardis?
Don’t you like its organic style?
Would you like if they brought back the round things?
Because we haven’t seen them in a while
Nowadays you can't be too sentimental
The Box is still blue and the Doctors still Mental.
Old Who, New Who, Anyway they do Who
It's still Doctor Who to me

Oh, it doesn't matter what they say in the Forums
'Cause it's always been the same old scene.
There's a new Doctor in town
But you can get the spoilers from a story in a magazine...
Aimed at your average teen

Don’t you like the clothes he’s wearing?
would you prefer him in tartan pants?
You could really be a New Whovian baby
if you just give it half a chance.
Don't waste your time on getting all Upset,
Go out to the store and buy yourself a box set
Next phase, new wave, Cybermen on a rampage
It's still Doctor Who to me

There’s nothing wrong with classic series
Not seen it? You should give it a try?
May you think it’s too old fashioned?
I like it, and I think you will. Why?
Bubble wrap aliens were always kinda funny?
And sets might wobble cos they didn’t have much Money
but it was the old phase, old wave, But the Cybermen still rampaged
and it’s still Doctor Who to me

Old Who, New Who, Anyway they do who it’s still Doctor Who to me

Blood on the streets, all the camera cars start to roll
News casters put on their makeup and checkout their notes
News stations chuckle with glee
They know if it bleeds it will lead
Directors phone up their mates for a quote
And fake moral outrage live on tee vee
It’s their lead story today
More bloodshed tomorrow

Payed experts speculate wildly, over what can it all mean
Nothing is happening, but our reporter is live at the scene
So they roll a video tape
Of a dead body under a coat
Presenters show insincere sorrow
Producers secretly gloat
It’s the lead story today
More bloodshed tomorrow

The Camera cars all packed up, have now gone away
So we’ll take some time and tell you what else happened today
We’ve a story of a skateboarding cat
To prove the world isn't so grim
Then we will go over to the weather,
As we wait for the next death to come in
That was our lead story today
And we’ll have more bloodshed tomorrow

Separated by an ocean
We live on different shores
We share a common language
are you sure? I’m not so sure
On subjects purely factual
we have great communication
but when it comes to British humour
There is a failure in translation

When talking to an Aussie
If I kick his sacred cow
He will see that I am joking
Hear him laugh, watch him howl
but on topics of religion
You get quite irate
If I name your god as an Imaginary friend
The humour fails to translate

If my words upset you
It was not my intention to offend
But please just let me know just what I said
I may wish to offend you again
Now that was me just joking
I think you Americans are just great
You cant help being the way you are
It's just my humour that won't translate

If you get to a point were you cant carry on
remember I will always love you
You can lean on me, until you feel strong,
remember I am here to love you.
When all your worries wont leave you alone
you can find a safe refuge,
lie here in my arms
All the pain of your day,
I'll help keep it at bay
always by your side I will stay
And remind you why I love you

I want you to be to be my best friend .
the one I confide in and who knows they can confide in me,
I want you to be the one I have to call several times a day just to say hello.
the one who is never far form my thoughts
I want you to be the one who can change my mood as soon as they walk in to the room .
my lover that I am always aroused by and who feels the same about me ,
I want you to be the only one I will trust with my heart,
the one who trusts me with their heart as well.
I want you to be that special person who means so much to me that I would want to share everything with .
the one that I would not just want to live with, but would never want to live without.
I want you to be you.
I want you.

For all the days that have past
I find the thoughts of my own future
Turning back, my inner minds eye
Watching the paths of possibility never taken
I see a turn that was once lost in time behind me,
I remember with sad fondness

Of the days that have been
Thoughts of that Journey have been there
Out of sight travelling along by my side
On possible paths of it's own
The turning lies there now ahead of me
The first step calling me onwards

In all the days that may yet come
looking forward to see what will happen
Moving onto the way now before me
Walking this new old road of possibility
The lost past could now be my future
I set out with resolve and trepidation

It was never your fault,
I could never get it right.
(Right?)
I was always in the wrong,
Always started the fights.
(Fight!)
But my eyes are now wide open,
Baby now that I've see light
(I see it all now!)
so just pack your things and go
and get out of my sight.

(Chorus)
Because I know the truth now
Your words were just lies
(lies!)
You may of have me fooled once
But it’s written in your eyes
(lies!)
I can see it on your face now
It’s that look I despise
(cant stand you!)
and your sanctimonious, saccharin sweet
Self-satisfied smile

(Middle 8 break)

You said that you loved me
But it was all about control
(Control!)
I thought I was goin' Crazy
Your love took its toll
(I'm bleedin')
But now I'm standing on my own feet
I won’t be your fool
(You're leavin')
Gonna get my life back Baby
So you better go

(Chorus)
Because I know the truth now
Your words were just lies
(lies!)
You may of have me fooled once
But it’s written in your eyes
(lies!)
I can see it on your face now
It’s that look I despise
(cant stand you!)
and your sanctimonious, saccharin sweet
Self-satisfied smile

Sometimes I forget the hours, all the years between us
I forget the lost days that have all passed us by
I have no memory of no longer chances and empty spaces
For a while is forgotten the passing of our time.
Sometimes I forget, and you are here beside me
I turn to tell you of all my hopes and fears
There is confusion, for a moment, then comes floods of memory
and I am engulfed by an avalanche of grief and tears

The graceful way you move,
makes me want to fly
When I see the light of your spirit shinning in your eyes,
it sears a path straight to my heart
You are a bright flame on a starless night
All I can see
All I want to see
You are a thief, you have stolen my mind
My thoughts are only of you

Where are they now
All those times
I missed your laughter
those by past years
when we thought
there would be no happy ever after
Gone! forgotten and gone

We never knew
Just how close
what we were really looking for
Was standing near,
all the time
Just the other side of a door
gone forgotten and gone
I have loved you
Yesterday, Tomorrow and forever

Strive always, working for a new hope
New growth, renewal and rebirth
Always be true in spirt and mind
Make these the words for a brand new day

Dont look to the night as its fading
Watch the rising sun it brings a new dawn
A new day will always bring a new start
Make these the words for the start of the day

Remeber your words and deeds have meaning
Walk softly as you make you way in the world
your least effort may bring the greatest reward
Make these the words as you go through your day

Make Plans for a bright and happy future
Never let any doubts get in your way
Rules are not always for the true heart
Make these the words to live by each day
