One For the Record - Galahad

A burning nostalgia

Singes the damp early evening air

As the coffin parades

On to a rain sodden stage

Set down by the bearers in solemn poise

Anticipation mounts, all is still

In this heavily charged atmosphere

We’re lost in nostalgia

But look to the future

One for the record

One for the memory…

In to the bowl of human celebration

Steps our hero to ecstacy out front and they know it!

Blinded by the footlights

But he knows just where to face

With a ready rapport, the performance begins

The reunion is almost complete

We’re lost in nostalgia

But look to the future

One for the record

One for the memory…

Rael arise from your aerosol guise

What a surprise!

But no fox in a frock on the rocks

(What no fox?)

Then in comes the old man

Dare I be so beautiful, just like a flower

A flower!

In the new Jerusalem

On comes the seventh star

The crowds are going crazy

Seven years gone by

It’s enough to make you cry

A feeling of déja vu ensues

On the stage once more

The band play on and on and on

In their old shoes

We’re lost in nostalgia

But look to the future

One for the record

One for the memory…

We’re lost in nostalgia

But look to the future

One for the record

One for the memory…
