On the Beach Page #7

Synopsis: Well, the world has finally managed to blow itself up. Only Australia has been spared from nuclear destruction and a gigantic wave of radiation is floating in on the breezes. Only two months are left. One American sub located in the Pacific has survived and is met with disdain by the Australians when it arrives. All of the calculations of Australia's most renowned scientist says the country is at doomsday - get ready. However, one of his rivals say that is incorrect. He believes that 1000 people can be relocated to the northern hemisphere, where his assumptions indicate the radiation levels may be lower. The American Captain is asked to take a mission to the north to determine which scientist is right (and along the way check out the devastation in Alaska and California - seemingly all bodies and vehicles were disintegrated). However, before the mission, all kinds of bland soap opera relationships are played out. Brown and his ex-fiancée battle it out in a love-hate relationship. Meanw

we carried away our sins

and made our way back

to wherever it was

that we called home...

to pick up the pieces

of whatever was waiting.

Of course, you can never

forget what you've done.

But we adapt.

We carry on.

# I hear the rhythm

in the river's run #

# And blinding, fainting desert sun #

# Hear them today #

#They all are strong #

# And distant forces

in the far-off sky #

# Led us to that elusive place #

#To the new sound #

# I will testify #

Can I get you anything?

No, thanks.

# Na na-na na... #

And me?

I still believe in paradise.

But now at least I know it's

not some place you can look for.

Because it's not where you go.

It's how you feel

for a moment in your life

when you're a part of something.

And if you find that moment...

it lasts forever.

# God knows, you lonely souls #

# God knows, you lonely souls #

# God knows, you lonely souls #

#Yeah, yeah #

# I believe #

#There's a time #

# And a place #

#To let your mind drift #

# And get out of this place #

# I believe #

#There's a day #

# And a place #

#That we will go to #

# And I know you wanna share #

#There's no secret to livin' #

#Secret to livin' #

#Just keep on #

#Walkin' #

#There's no secret to dyin' #

#There's no secret to dyin' #

#Just keep on #

# Flyin' #

# I'm gonna die in #

# A place that don't know #

# My name #

# I'm gonna die in #

# A space

that don't hold #

# My name #

#Walkin' in the cold #

#Just keep on #

# Flyin' #

# God knows, you lonely souls #

# God knows, you lonely souls #

# God knows, you lonely souls #

# God knows, you lonely souls #

#Yeah #

#Yeah #

#Yeah #

#Yeah #

#Yeah #

# I'm a lonely soul #

# 'Cause we are lonely souls #

# 'Cause we are lonely souls #

# Lonely souls #

# Lonely souls #

# Lonely souls #

# I'm a lonely soul #

#So alone #

# In the shadows #

# Pack up your light #

# Pack up your light #

#Say good-bye

to the whole world #

# Light #

# I #

# Need you now #

# I #

# Am lonely #

# Don't you need me? #
