INTRO:
"Changes"

# Still don't know what I was waiting for - time was running wild

# A million dead-end streets Every time I thought I'd got it made It seemed the taste was not so sweet

# Then I turned myself to face me

# But I've never caught a glimpse

# Of how the others must see the faker

# I'm much too fast to take that test

- # Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

- Turn and face the strain

# Ch-Ch-Changes Didn't wanna have to be a richer man

- # Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

- Turn and face the strain

# Ch-Ch-Changes Just wanted to be a better man

# Time may change me

# I can't trace time

# Ah

# Ooh yeah

# I watch the ripples change their size but never leave the stream of warm impermanence

# And so the days float through my eyes

# But still the days seem the same just the same, quite the same

# And these children that you spit on

# As they try to change their worlds

# Ah they're immune to your consultations

# They're quite aware of what they're going through

- # Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

- Turn and face the strain

# Ch-Ch-Changes

# Don't tell us to grow up and out of it

- # Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

- Turn and face the strain

# Oh Changes You've left us up to our necks in it

# Time may change me

# I can't trace time

# Strange fascination, fascinating me

# Oh changes are taking the pace I'm going through

- # Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

- Turn and face the strain

# Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes Look out you rock 'n' rollers

- # Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

- Turn and face the strain

# Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

# Pretty soon now you're gonna get older

# Time may change me

# But I can't trace time

# I said that time may change me

# I can't trace time. #

SAXOPHONE SOLO:

INTRO:
"Space Oddity"

# Ground Control to Major Tom

# Ground Control to Major Tom

# Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

# Ground Control to Major Tom

# Commencing countdown, engines on

# Check ignition and may God's love be with you

# This is Ground Control to Major Tom

# You've really made the grade

# And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear

# Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

# This is Major Tom to Ground Control

# I'm stepping through the door

# And I'm floating in a most peculiar way

# Oh the stars look very different today

# For here am I sitting in my tin can

# Far above the world

# Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do. #

# Though I'm past 100,000 miles I'm feeling very still

# And I think my spaceship knows which way to go

# Tell my wife I love her very much she knows

# Ground Control to Major Tom

# Your circuit's dead there's something wrong

# Can you hear me, Major Tom?

# Can you hear me, Major Tom?

# Can you hear me, Major Tom?

# Can you...?

# Here am I floating round my tin can

# Far above the Moon

# Planet Earth is blue

# And there's nothing I can do. #

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

INTRO:
"My Death"

# My death waits like an old roue

# So confident I'll go his way

# Whistle to him

# And the passing time...

# My death waits like a Bible truth

# At the funeral of my youth

# We ploughed for that...

#..and the passing time

# My death waits like a witch at night

# As surely as our love is right

# Let's not think about the passing time

# But whatever lies behind the door

# There is nothing much to do

# Angel or devil, I don't care

# For in front of that door

# There is you

# My death waits like a beggar blind

# Who sees the world through an unlit mind

# Throw him a dime for the passing time

# My death waits there between your thighs
