Galactica
(G.L'Her/A.Maratrat)

It's been a long time since I watched from the stars
All the way down, as I travelled in time
Full speed ahead as I passed over Mars
I saw the Earth I knew it was time
Space map appeared on the video screen
The rising sun illuminates the scene
Crossing the sky, flying outta sight
Faster than light
That is how it all began
Life form detector is perfectly still
My computers they're all memorising
Countdown has ceased, power level is nil
The light is green for immediate landing
I have touched down, without any sound
No life around
That is how it all began
Galactica
Now the time is right for change

I was designed in a robotic way
I am programmed to help the human race
I speak your language and I've come today
To solve the problems you've now got to face
You used to crawl
You had lost your soul
Poor manking, now the time is right for change
Galactica
Now you've got to play the game

Message to you
From the robotic race
Hear the rockets
Preach our case

Galactica
Now the time is right for change
Galactica (Ad Libitum)

 

Universal band
(G.L'Her/A.Maratrat)

Come on, and listen to the band
We're going to play at your command
Trying to make you understand
Your dreams are castles made of sand
Look at yourselves, the world's a mess
It's a disgrace
Hear the message from the stars

Universal band
We'll lead the way, hear what we say
Universal band
We'll turn you on with our magical sound
Universal band
Someday the world will go round
Under the stars

We are five fingers of one's hand
just like continents on this land
The world's insane, so once again
We tell the men
Near the message from the stars

Universal band
We'll lead the way, hear what we say
Universal band
We'll turn you on with our magical sound
Universal band
Someday the world will go round
Under the stars

First of all we had to shave our hair
To become the strong, the wise, the fair
Now we are the universal band
Now we are the universal band.

 

One more mission
(G.L'Her)

Astronaut is my job, always on the air
This is what I care for, I've got to get there
There's no other way to get myself together
Each and every single day I'm feeling better
Sometimes I feel lonesome, I don't really care
One more mission

How to tell you people, it would blow your mind
Outer space is a wall, emptiness behind
Sliding in a soundless motion, I hold my breath
Will I see the Earth again, I'm facing my death
I'm a crazy person I don't really care
One more mission

No hope, I'm afraid
I know I can't be saved
No peace in my mind
Till I find what is behind
Just one more mission

My ship is my prison, wandering in the air
Don't know which dimension, I've never been there
Empty, lonely, endless days since I left my base
Will I find the passage back or will I erase
Seems like I'm a loser, I don't really care
One more mission

No hope, I'm afraid
I know I won't be saved
No peace in my mind
Till I find what is behind
Just one more mission

 


In the black hole
(G.L'Her)

Something in your eyes that looks like anger
Makes me realize I've been too slow
Something in your eyes, does it mean danger?
Makes me scared but I don't let it show
I can feel it, I can feel it now
I can see it, I can see it now

Don't you know the kind of situation
When your feet they can't move anymore
Deep Inside of me comes a mutation
I'm not half the man I was before
I can feel it, I can feel it now
I can see it, I can see it now

I must admit that I lost control
I am sending my very last call
I am falling into the black hole

I can see your image in the mirror
Reflected back from the other side
Nothing else I can do but surrender
'Cause I know there's nowhere I can hide
I can feel It, I can feel it now
I can see it, I can see it now

I must admit that I lost control
I am sending my very last call
I am falling into the black hole

 


Radiate
(J.P.Massiera/C.Lemoine)

Go futurize, be a guy in disguise
A satanic panic on the rise
Wake up your mind, leave your planet behind
Telegraphic traffic in the tide
Ooh! Radiate - Oh! Let it shake
Ooh! Radiate - Oh! Let it penetrate

Go televise from the top of your mind
Automatic static in the sky
Take a ride let your body unwind
A mechanic panic in the night
Ooh! Radiate - Oh! Let it shake
Ooh! Radiate - Oh! Let it penetrate

Atomic angel in a cosmic show
She gets you going then she tells you no
An interplanetary rodeo
She gets you coming back to fight - Red light!

Red light, get up hey! Atomic show
Red light, wake up it's a rodeo
Ooh! Radiate

Go mechanized gettin' ready to fly
An erratic static in your eyes
Go get it right on a meteorite
A volcanic panic is in sight
Ooh! Radiate - Oh! Let it shake
Ooh! Radiate - Oh! Let it penetrate

 


Wrong place, right time
(A.Maratrat/Rok-etz/S.Solo)

There were so many times
Oh, so many chances
I allowed to go by
Never realizing why oh, why
Only this time my eyes
For the first time are open
I won't make those mistakes again
No more wondering why

No more wrong place, right time (*)
Over again and again
Wrong place, right time
No one else to blame
Wrong place, right time
Always the same and the same
Wrong place, right time
Once again and again
Wrong place, right time

Even though I was blind
I leave memories behind me
And although now the time
Still is passing us by
I was well almost strong
Didn't know any better
Time is coming to rule alone
Where the living face on

(* ) repeat

No more wasting my time
One thing plotting romances
Time has gone quickly by
To the negative side
In my mind is a seed
That will grow many branches
I will tend to its needs
With my every need

(* ) repeat

 


Some other place, some other time
(A.Maratrat/G.L'Her)

What am I doing here?
Just find myself into a place I've never been
Before
Nobody seems to care
Each one of them is standing like a manikin
They watch
I'm in a fancy world
My spirit's like a feather going with the wind
I dream
Altered visions vanishing in the haze
Fairy creatures are crawling in the rain
I'm walking down the street
But my feet do not even touch the velvet ground
So strange
And everyone I meet
Speaks to me but I do not hear a single sound
Dream on
Space warriors are fighting in the shade
Something special attracts me once again

Some other place, some other time
That's where I'm waiting for you
Some other place, some other time
It's a world deep inside of you
Your illusions are riding with the clouds
Be your sleep unbroken until the end of time

I'm never coming back
Just keep on drifting carried away with the tide
I dream
I don't recall my name
But does it matter? Now I've got a place to hide
Away
Lonesome dreamer let me see your face
I will tell you the nature of my games

 


Future game
(A.Maratrat/G.L'Her)

The times are changing fast
Now this is a new generation
Our children are the start
Of the new electronic nation
And you'd be such a fool compete with their superbrains
It's a new coming race
Teenagers' life became so easy
Hope they won't fail the test
For machine games can drive you crazy
And you'd be such a fool to believe it was all in vain

The future game
It's in the air, nothing to spare, play it if you dare
The future game
Never the same, try it again, again and again
The future game
You've gotta choose, nothing to lose, it will never end
The future game

Space attack, laser fight
Endlessly self-regenerating
Video games, alright!
New programs for the people waiting
Nobody doubt the space invaders' a great big success

Future game...
Future game Future game,
Future game - Superbrains
Future game In the air

 


Ideomatic
(J.P.Massiera/C.Lemoine-J.P.Massiera)

Suis l'hotesse
Cerveau informatic
Control test
Bionic automatic
Suis l'hotesse
Ma voie est magnetic
Anti-stress
Dans l'ideomatic

But can't you see now woman
The kindness of a man
I'd like to see that something, in all men
I'd like to see you watch him
As if he were from Mars
I like your whole expression
Of fear and awe

Suis l'hotesse
Bionic automatic
Suis l'hotesse
Ma voie est magnetic
Anti-stress
Dans l'ideomatic

Ideomatic for me looking for you

Ideomatic for me
Looking for you
Ide-o-matic

Suis l'hotesse
Bionic automatic
Suis l'hotesse
Ma voie est magnetic
Anti-stress
Dans l'ideomatic

Now can't you see he's lonely
He's looking forsome warmth
He's really not much different
From all men
He's not looking for trouble
'Cause that is not his plan
He just dreams of becoming
A real man

Ideomatic for me
Looking for you
Ide-o-matic

 


Imagine E.S.P.
(J.P.Massiera-Spege/C.Lemoine-J.P.Massiera)

Extra sensory
Well you were gifted gifted gifted to predict
Extra sensory
Communicating waiting but no words are said ESP
Extra sensory
People say there're tricks
We have five you have six
Extra sensory
So misunderstood
Can't explain so you're blamed ESP

Imagine from somewhere between sun and moon
Into our dimension you flew
A planet that we never knew
Imagine you're gifted with some magic power
You live high in a golden tower
What made you pick this place and hour

Extra sensory
Is it a potion a notion coming from the past
Extra sensory
Is it a prediction affliction how long will it last ESP
Extra sensory
How will we survive
Have you seen what's to be
Extra sensory
Somewhere in you mind
You must know what we'll find ESP

Imagine who sent for you with such success
I don't know and could never guess
But war would be so meaningless
Imagine you've come to haunt our galaxy
There's some mistake it just can't be
We'll always fear what we can't see

 


Atomic
(A.Maratrat/G.L'Her)

I cannot sleep tonight
Feel like I'm gonna lose my mind
My head is filled with light
Can't believe what I saw
What happened to my wife
Makes me scared but I've got to know
And I would give my life
But I don't let it show

'Cause you're atomic, atomic, radiations of your brain
Yes, you're atomic, atomic, kill me softly, feel no pain
You're so atomic, atomic, pleasin' my soul, burnin' my heart

She's alien to this world
Staring me thru her diamond eyes
A different kind of girl
When I touch her she's cold as ice
Her body's precious gold
And I did pay the price

'Cause you're atomic, atomic, need your deadly kiss again
Yes, you're atomic, atomic, you're the poison in my veins
You're so atomic, atomic, pleasin' my soul, burnin' my heart

I knew it from the start
When she told me she was from Mars
I thought it would be nice
Only forgot she had no heart
Loved you like playing with fire
In the end I get burned

 


A million miles away
(F.Quagliotti/G.L'Her/C.Ward)

As I look all around now
I feel like touching the sky
Only I just can wait now
Till the feeling, it passes me by
There's beauty and there's beauty
And I've got to make a start
There's paradise in my eyes
But pain, it's in my heart

As I run for the finish
I'm recalling back to the start
In the croud, I'm alone
But it's all down to my part
There's paradise in my eyes
But pain it's in my heart

A million miles away (*)
A million miles away
A million miles away
A million miles away
When I want
When I'm lonely
When I'm lonely

It's only me if I can get my release now
Only I've got the key
But I've got to find out now
If it's a reality
There's beauty and there's beauty
Got to make a start
There's paradise in my eyes
But pain, it's in my heart

(*) repeat

 


In the galaxy
(G.L'Her/A.Maratrat)

It's nearly dawn. I hear a sound
In the Galaxy
The country side is calling loud
In the Galaxy
Nature's Life is gonna die
No more Harmony

This place is no more paradise
It used to be one million years ago
Now you should stop, and look around
Maybe you'll fInd you're not so pround
you've burned the trees
Spoiled the seas
Built your cities
And you just let it go

Birds have lost their pleasant voice
In the Galaxy
The country bell is here to tell
No more Harmony

Always waiting till tomorrow
There's no hope if you just let it go
Open your mind, look at the sky
Dusty clouds obscured the sun

You've been foolish
Much too selfish
How will it be next century?
Nineteen eighty is the year
The Twenty first century's near
There is so much left to do
You gave your orders, then you left
And we'll just carry on

 


Under the sun
(S.Solo/Galactus/Toang)

Be beside me at either hand,
With me wherever I go
Be before me, behind me stand
Around, above and below.

Morning rising,
Moonlight shining,
Armies fighting,
Under, under the sun.

Only you in my thoughts I find
In the very heart of me
In my soul always on my mind
Never, never leave.

Morning rising,
Moonlight shining
Armies fighting,
Under, under the sun.
I can find you everywhere.

All over, everywhere
All over, everywhere

Morning rising,
Moonlight shining,
Armies fighting,
Under, under the sun.

Be my light whether right so day and night
And my never changing friend
My direction, my only way
Ever to the end.

Morning rising, moonlight shining,
armies fighting, under, under the sun.
under, under the sun.

All over, everywhere
all over, everywhere

Morning rising, moonlight shining,
armies fighting, under, under the sun.
under, under the sun.

All over, everywhere
all over, everywhere
