	i) The Millpond
	ii) Titanic Calls Carpathia
	The airwaves are still silent in the deep April cold
	Magnetosphere at rest, undisturbed by our troubled world
	Auroras fleek horizons, visibly observed
	But not yet called upon to propagate our words
	Jack Phillips takes the key in the first hour of the night
	And taps out CQD from MGY in the first hour of their plight
	Cottam takes the code and Rostron turns the wheel
	To steam into our future, into legend, undetected
	Titanic calls Carpathia in the night
	Through Nothingness, through 57 miles
	And the sparks still fly, down through history
	And down through every walk of life
	iii) Lovell Calls Houston
	And in a baked bean tin half way between two worlds
	Three stranded mens' lives depend on simple words
	Home hands temptingly above them in the sky
	And while they plot the rescue plan, Titanic's sparks still fly
	Jim Lovell's calling Houston in the night
	Through Nothingness – 200,000 miles
	A swingball in infinity
	A rope of radio to keep the centrifuge at bay
	Titanic Calls Carpathia!
	iv) Lost Soul Calls Antares
	Across the endless plains of Europe
	And a friendship sometimes strained
	By belief and competition
	But in spite of which remains
	From a bedsit in the wilderness
	One reaches for the phone
	To hear the voices of “belonging”
	Yes it's time to head for home
	And a lost soul calls Antares in the night
	Across Europe and a thousand weary miles
	And the echoes of all his heroes will
	Line up to “keep the sea ajar”
	Titanic calls Carpathia
	v) Fire In Our Fingers
	And now we can all talk across oceans
	If we get things sussed we don't even have to pay!
	We get “FREE iTunes songs” when we return an empty bottle
	But there's so much around
	That we throw the damn thing away
	Posting to billions who don't have time to read us
	Giving ourselves away
	A young kid I know's got fire in his fingers
	But in this crowded room you'd never pick him out
	Lost in a labyrinth of a squillion facebook profiles
	The endless prize of “LOOK AT ME” and pathetic shouts
	Bringing down leaders to fight over their replacements
	Talking ourselves to Death
	vi) Earth Calling Anyone
	Beyond the rusting pylons, beyond the looted homes
	People scrabble around for batteries to get more talk time for their phones
	We want so much without paying, we forget someone has to make
	The things we want for ourselves so we just eat each other's cake
	We made petrol out of plant-life we took fuel from the sea
	We burned everything that would burn, we got it all for free
	We fought it out on our Internet where everyone else was wrong
	We gave our lives completely – crazy for COMM
	Titanic Calls Carpathia in the night
	And some planet out there might just hear our plight
	In ten thousand years, they might come looking
	To see who was making all the noise.
