1860's Future
Azakir Devaris

To the tune of '1960's Future' by Dragster (Yes, we filked ourselves!)

Performed in Febraury 2006 at 1812Tone

*START CHORUS*

It's an 1860's future
We'll trip the light fantastic with our steam technology
It's an 1860's future
If you want to have a wild adventure, just follow me
Just follow me, mm-hmm!

*END CHORUS*

We can put you in a cannonball
And fire you to the Moon
With the power of high explosive
We know you'll be there soon
The landing may be bumpy
But you'll soar through the sky with ease
And when you're on your way home
Would you bring us back some cheese?

-- CHORUS --

In a giant drill we'll tunnel
A few thousand miles deep
To the centre of the planet
Where riches we will reap
In a land that time's forgotten
Where dinosaurs still roam
And just jump in a volcano
When you want to head back home

-- CHORUS --

Around the world in eighty days
Might seem a bit far fetched
But with our modern vehicles
You can be sure we'll win that bet
On trains and ships and horse drawn cart
We'll navigate with care
And when we return to London
We'll even have a day to spare!

-- CHORUS --

An alien armada's
Invading far and wide
We have no means to fight them
And there is nowhere to hide
But we'll still be victorious
We just have to wait until
The martians all realise
They forgot their Beechams pills!

-- CHORUS --

Go in search of a sea monster
Spreading fear across the waves
The world's relying on us
To protect the shipping lanes
But it's really a huge submarine
And we'll join its pirate crew
To save the world and makes the seas
A safer shade of blue!

-- CHORUS --

Abandoned by a shipwreck
On a lonely island chain
With just one sole companion
Man Friday is his name
We'll fight the native cannibals
And build a makeshift shack
Then get rescued by some mutineers
To make our journey back

It's an 1860's future
We'll trip the light fantastic with our steam technology
It's an 1860's future
If you want to have a wild adventure, just follow me
Just follow me
Just follow me
[Higher] Just follow me!
