Control

This is control!

This is control!

Tonight is the most important night in the history of the world!

Take your seats for the World Championship Railroad Race!

Trains to your tracks

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one

Trains gone!

Four trains going for two final places

Greaseball and Espresso are the early leaders with Nintendo pressing in third

This is turning into a real grudge match

And here's a surprise: look at that Rusty go -

Mother

Put those trains away.

Control

Oh Mum - just five more minutes.

Mother

Put those trains away and get into bed.

Control

But...

Mother

No buts.

Starlight Express, Starlight Express

Are you real - yes or no?

Starlight Express, Starlight Express...

Entry of the National Trains

Control

This is control, this is control

Tonight is race night

Let's hear it for the champion engines of the world

From France the 120 mph Sudest.

The power of the Sudest - Bobo

From Italy - the Rome to Milan Express - the Settebello.

Powered by Espresso

From Germany - right on time - the Inter-Continental Express.

Powered by Ruhrgold

From Russia - as fast as possible - the Trans-Siberian express.

Powered by Turnov

From Japan - the Shinkanssen bullet train - the power of the bullet - Nintendo

From Great Britain - battling through the wrong kind of snow - the Royal Train.

Powered by the Prince of Wales

British Rail announce a delay in the arrival of the Royal Train.

This is due to staffing difficulties

And from the US of A - the reigning champion: the greatest diesel locomotive in history - the Union Pacific

Powered by - Greaseball

Rolling Stock

Greaseball

I'm just the fastest thing you'll ever see

That streak of lightning you just missed was me

Don't stop now - we gotta keep it going all night

Rolling stock, rolling stock


You got no wheels, you don't know how it feels

Rolling stock, rolling stock

You got no lovers if you got no wheels

Don't try to show you can go faster than me

This is my back view and it's all you'll see


Rolling stock, we're rolling stock

So get the motion in your wheels somehow

The racing action's starting here and now

Don't stop now - we gotta keep it all night




He'll Whistle At Me

Coaches

Woo woo, woo woo - nobody can do it like a steam train

Woo woo, woo woo - everybody's waiting for their dream train

Pearl

I'll know him when I see him, for long before I see him

I will hear the far off signal, I will hear the distant call

And then he'll whistle at me, he'll send a note and woo me

He'll whistle at me, I'm gonna hitch him to me

Some day soon he'll whistle at me, that's how I'll recognise him

And maybe I will whistle at him, that should surprise him

Don't give me insistent humming, horns and bells and distant drumming

I want steam that's under pressure as it rises to a scream

Somebody whistle at me, I'm all anticipation

I need someone to whistle at me, I'm waiting at the station

Come on, someone whistle at me, I'm longing to be near him

I need someone to whistle at me, I'll know him when I hear him

He'll whistle at me

Freight Dinah

Oh no

Buffy

Oh shucks

Pearl

It's the freight train

Ashley

The dumb trucks

Buffy

Forty tons of empty chrome

Dinah

The lights are on

Ashley

But nobody's home

Buffy

Let's show them who's boss

Dinah

Let's play a joke

Pearl

Yeah, let's have some fun

Ashley

Let's have a smoke

Dinah

Here they come...


Buffy

To fill our station...

Pearl

With witty, sparkling conversation!

Trucks (Coaches)

Freight is great (That's brilliant!)

Freight is great (Don't you wish you'd thought of that?)

We carry weight 'cos we are freight

And freight is great (One more time!)

Freight is great (Did you think of that all by yourselves?)

Freight is great (It's so profound!)

We never sulk, we hulk the bulk

'Cos freight is great (Well I certainly learned something today!)

We never make a fuss, we got the goods on us

We take the loads from off the roads

And freight is great (You just listen to what the coach says!)

Coaches

Couldn't stand gravel and sand

Being ignored, no one aboard

Nobody complaining, we were late again

I should hate carrying freight

Nobody living in me

Got to be a living breathing passenger train

Freight

Freight is great, freight is great

Coaches

(Freight) Couldn't stand gravel and sand

Being ignored, no one aboard (is great)

Nobody complaining, we were late again (we carry weight)


Nobody living in me (and freight is great)


Coaches

It's Mommas and Poppas

Freight

It's commerce and hoppers

Coaches

It's daughters and sons

They get in your hair

Brick truck.

Flat top

Flat top, who you looking at?

Yeah, there's bricks, what's wrong with that?

Freight is great

Control

The big hopper.

Flat top

Dustin, that's you mate

Control

Come on, the big hopper!

Flat top

Come on, Dustin!

Dustin

I'm the big hopper, I'm not a box

Rockies

Yeah, your head is full of rocks

Dustin

They're not rocks, they're bits of gravel

Gravel's got a right to travel

Travelling with gravel in

& Flat top

Praying that we don't get wet

Water and mortar, do things they didn't oughta

Empty me before I set

Freight

Down the track, from A to B and back

We carry things, not people, people talk a lot

That isn't what we like

Coaches

They're strong and silent

Freight

None of us may be a genius

But we know one thing, what we know is

Freight

Freight is great

Pumping Iron

Oh boy - here comes trouble. It's the reigning champion

Coaches

It's Greaseball, it's Greaseball, Greaseball the diesel

Choose me Greaseball, race with me

Dinah

Back off girls - he's mine

Greaseball

Here comes the diesel train, with its steel refrain

Hear me knocking

The diesel's on its way, it's gonna win the day

Hear me knocking

Listen to the chatter of the diesel force

Generating twenty seven hundred horse

Camshaft rolling while the rockers rock

Hear me knock


See me hustle, feel my muscle

Pumping iron

Trying to build my body, trying to lose my mind

See me straining - I'm in training

Pumping iron

I'm a diesel engine

I'm knocking, I'm knocking, I'm knocking,

I'm pumping iron

Coaches

Well he's the one they'll choose

You know he just can't lose

Hear him knocking

There ain't another rig that's even half as big

Hear him knocking

Everybody's gonna say "that train is smart"

The mighty diesel engine is a work of art

The undisputed leader of the Rolling Stock

Greaseball

See me knock

Greaseball, (Coaches)


Pumping iron

Stretching my bullworker, I'm heaving on my weights

See my flex my delts and pecs

I'm pumping iron

I'm a diesel engine

Hey, I'm knocking, you know I'm knocking, said I'm knocking hey-

Heading for the rally (heading for the rally)

Gonna win the first race (gonna win the first race)

I'm gonna run the longest (the biggest and the strongest)

I'm knocking, said I'm knocking, you know I'm knocking

Well - I'm so beautiful -

I'm pumping iron

On the rails, on the rails, on the rails, on the rails

All

Beware of the engine intent on avenging

Defeat by a rival who's bent on survival

Look out for the carriage who's out to disparage


The wagons who battle and rattle and prattle

Are great, are great, are great, are great, are great

Crazy

Rusty

Where I go the rest better follow

Look out everybody, move aside

May go now or may go tomorrow

Hold on, I'll take you for a ride

Coaches

Crazy - can you believe him?

He's crazy - love him or leave him

He's crazy, goin' crazy, goin' crazy

Watch me, see me, hit that horizon

Pearl

Take it slowly, what you got to prove?

Rusty

Ride with me, you'll know you've been riding

No one can move the way I move!

Make Up My Heart

Pearl

It's time to choose between the two of them

I'd better make a start

Someone help me make up my heart

Tell me how to make up my heart

They say two lovers can be twice the fun

They think they're being smart



One of them is strong, one of them is good

But both could turn out wrong, so who gets the part?

Make up my mind, make up my heart.

I don't want one to win and one to lose

Can't tell them yes or no

Choosing one means letting one go


I can't face letting one of them go

You'd think two lovers would be twice the fun

It's tearing me apart



One of them has style, sets the world alight

The other makes me smile, so who gets the part?

Make up my mind, make up my heart

So who gets the part?


It's time to choose between the two of them

I'd better make a start



One of them has style, sets the world alight

The other makes me smile, so who gets the part?


One of them is strong, one of them is good

But both could turn out wrong

So who gets the part?

Please someone help me make up my heart


Race One

Control

Heat one. Heat one. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.

Trains gone! Four trains going for two final places.

Greaseball and Espresso are the early leaders with Nintendo pressing in third.

Well, that's not in the rule book. No-one messes with the champion!

Up the nursery slope, it's still Greaseball but Espresso's looking good!

It's the double whammy from Electra and the Champion!

Across the high level, it's Greaseball, Electra, Nintendo and Espresso.

Nintendo takes Electra and Nintendo passes Greaseball!

Don't play with electricity - the champ leads - this is getting hot!

Nintendo must win. He's overdone it. Nintendo crashes!

Winner of heat one: Greaseball the diesel with Electra in second place.

Greaseball and Electra have a place in the final.

Poppa's Blues

Rocky 1

Hey, Poppa's gonna sing

Flat-Top

That stuff is so out of date

Rocky 1

Cool it man. Poppa's gonna sing!

Rockies

Poppa don't sing often, but he do sing mean

Poppa

Oh the first line of the blues is always sung a second time (oh yeah?)

First line of the blues is always sung a second time (kinda smooth!)

So by the time you get to the third line you've had time to think up a rhyme

Oh there ain't no law that says the third line has to be different at all

No, no, there ain't no law that says the third line has to be different at all

No there ain't no law that says the third line has to be different at all

Never borrow a mouth organ - not even from your best friend

No, no, no, never borrow a mouth organ - not even from your best friend

'Cos you may survive the blowing, but the sucking's gonna get you in the end

Oh yeah!

Race Two


Control

Control, control. Heat Two. Trains to your tracks.

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.

Trains gone! They've set out for the second heat and Poppa's in back and struggling.

He's on the crossing. Look out Poppa! Leaping locomotives!

Still Bobo with Turnov pressing in second but Bobo wastes the Russian.

Hey, Bobo, you lost your coach! That puts Ruhrgold in the lead but Turnov's not having any!

It's Turnov, the Russian leads. Ouch, Poppa shows Turnov he still packs a punch!

Poppa's taking the lead but Dustin takes him wide letting Ruhrgold through.

It's Ruhrgold, Turnov, Bobo and Poppa coming out of the high level.

And Ruhrgold stops - this is getting really mean!

Bobo goes through to take the lead. Poppa's turning on the power, they approach the tunnel.

The old guy does it! Winner of Heat Two: Poppa McCoy with Bobo in second place.

Poppa and Bobo have a place in the final.

Starlight Express

Rusty

When your good nights have been said and you are lying in bed

With the covers pulled up tight

And though you count every sheep you get the feeling that sleep

Is going to stay away tonight

That's when you hear it coming

That is when you hear the humming

Of the Starlight Express, Starlight Express

Are you real, yes or no?

Starlight Express, answer me yes

I don't want you to go

Want you to take me away but bring me home before daylight

And in the time between

Take me to everywhere but don't abandon me there

Just want to say I've been

I believe in you completely

Though I may be dreaming sweetly

Of the Starlight Express, answer me yes


And if you're there, and if you know

Then show me which way I should go

Starlight Express, Starlight Express,

I've been U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D.

I can't bring myself to say it, no siree

I'm a carriage with no marriage

I'm a van without a man

I've been U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D.

Was I corroded, or overloaded?

Maybe I shamed him

Who could have blamed him?

If he thought me second-class

Went in search of chrome and brass

Went to find some other fool like me

And I'm just U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D.

I can't seem to stop C.R.Y.I.N.G.

People look and me and think,

"There she goes, the missing link

She's been U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D."

And I'm just U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D.

but I'll get my R.E.V.E.N.G.E.

He'll come crawling back one day

And I'll turn to him and say

Go away, you B.A.S.T.A.R.D.

Race Three


Control

This is control. This is control. And now for the race that keeps going day and night.

The final Trans-America trial for the championship of the world.

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. Trains gone!

Here's a surprise - look at that Rusty go. He passes Bobo.

He's got a good head of steam and he's mad to show the big boys.

He's chasing Electra. He's chasing Greaseball.

What's the champion gonna go about it?

Oh my God! Race cancelled. Race cancelled. Who did that? Re-run in fifteen minutes.

Right Place, Right Time

Rockies

If I had the chances, if I had the breaks

Could have been a winner, I had what it takes

But I wasn't in the right place at the right time

Didn't have the rhythm, didn't have the rhyme

I wasn't in the right place at the right time

Could've been a contender, could've been a star

Never reached the finals, didn't get that far

'Cos I wasn't in the right place at the right time



Any time they seem to open up the door

Slam it in your face and knock it to the floor

'Tisn't only me son, 'tisn't only you

All of us are losers, all of us are through

'Cos I wasn't in the right place, wasn't in the right place

Wasn't in the right place at the right time

Starlight Sequence

Rusty

Starlight Express

Starlight Express!

Starlight

Only you have the power within you

Just believe in yourself, the sea will part before you

Stop the rain, turn the tide

If only you use the power within you

Needn't beg the world to turn around and help you

If you draw on what you have within you

Somewhere deep inside

Rusty

Starlight Express, Starlight Express




Starlight

Rusty you're blind, look in your mind

I'm there, nothing's new

The Starlight Express is no more nor less

Have the power within you

Race Four

Control

Control. Control. Re-run of championship on downhill course.

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.

It's Greaseball, Electra, Bobo and Rusty as they come down from the high level and Electra passes the champion.

Bobo passes the champion. Something's holding the champion back.

It's Pearl, and the champion doesn't like that one bit. Oh, no - he's uncoupled Pearl.

We have a runaway. Pearl's heading for the edge and Rusty saves her. That was courageous.

The champion's racing solo. That's not allowed. Not for long.

Greaseball takes Ashley and Bobo's out of it.

Back at the high level now with Electra leading and the champion is second.

It looks like Rusty's bid has failed. Can't anyone take the electric superstar?

Can the champion come back? It's Electra and the champion disputing the lead.

Rusty comes through. Electra zaps the champion. Against all the odds, Rusty is the champion.

Rusty for lap of honour.

Rusty

I must find Pearl, I must find Pearl

I must find Pearl, I must find Pearl

Next Time You Fall In Love

Pearl

I guess I'm not too good at keeping love alive for long

I think I've found the answers but the answer's always wrong

My first love was my true love and it should have been my last

The only time I'm happy's when I'm dreaming in the past

Next time you fall in love it better be with me, the way it used to be

Back then was when we touched the starlight

Sometimes you turn away from what your heart tells you is right

And so you settle for whatever gets you through the night

The flame you thought was dead may suddenly begin to burn

And broken hearts can be repaired, that's something that you learn



Rusty

I've re-lived every moment that I ever shared with you


What fools we were to end a dream that looked like coming true


Pearl

Back then

Rusty

Was when

Together

We touched the starlight



I guess I'm not too good at keeping love alive for long

I think I've found the answers but the answer's always wrong

My first love was my true love and it should have been my last

The only time I'm happy's when I'm dreaming in the past





One Rock'n'Roll Too Many

Both

One rock'n'roll too many, one night's sleep too few

Too much ringing that bell takes its toll out of you

Greaseball

The sound's too loud

Electra

The light's too bright

Greaseball

My chains are too heavy

And my pants are too tight

Both

One rock'n'roll too many takes its toll out of you

One rock'n'roll too many, one more farewell show

C'mon, clap your hands - are you having a good time? No

Electra

Well, my rave's been raided and my hip just hopped

Greaseball

My mojo ain't working

Electra

Any my pill has just popped

Both

One rock'n'roll too many takes it's toll out of you

One rock'n'roll too many, I can't take no more

Greaseball

Whaddya say?

Electra

I can't hear nothing

Greaseball

Whaddya say?

Electra


Greaseball


Electra

Whaddya say?

Both

I said one rock'n'roll too many takes its toll...

And the soul... out of you


Light At The End Of The Tunnel

Poppa

Diesel is for unbelievers

Electricity is wrong

Steam has got the power that will pull us along

There's a light at the end of the tunnel


The inside might be as black as the night

All

But there's a light at the end of the tunnel



But at the end of the tunnel there's a light

Poppa

It's the power of James Watt, the steaming Scot

All

The man who watched the pot and said "Hey, I've got

A brilliant plot: when the steam is hot

It seems to make a lot of power,"

Poppa

It could turn a wheel

All

Lots of power

Poppa

It could drive it down a track

All

Clickety clack, clickety clack

Poppa

It could drive it with a beat

All

Choo-choo-choo

With enough left over for a woo-woo!

He saw the light at the end of the tunnel

I said he saw the light at the end of the tunnel

Poppa

Thanks James Watt (thank you Mr Watt)

For watching that pot

All

He saw a light at the end of the tunnel

He saw a light at the end of the tunnel



Poppa

There are dark days ahead

When the power goes dead

When the oil runs dry, what can we try?

All

We could use the sunlight

Poppa

But it don't shine at night

All

Nuclear fission leaves a nasty emission

Poppa

Soon the pistons will be humming

Steam will have a second coming

All

We saw light at the end of the tunnel



Just dig a hole and haul out the coal



So let the water boil - goodbye to oil

At the end of the tunnel there's a light

We saw light at the end of the tunnel (we see the light)


When the Angel Gabriel blows his magic toot




Starlight!

Starlight Megamix

Poppa

Everybody c'mon, clap your hands, let's have a good time

All





I'm just the fastest thing you'll ever see

That streak of lightning you just missed was me




A lotta locomotion, that's what we need

If we are ever gonna get up speed

From the Eastern ocean to the Western sea

Locomotion's gonna carry me

Woo woo, woo woo

Nobody can do it like a steam train

Woo woo, woo woo

Once upon a time there was a dream train

Freight is great, freight is great

We carry weight, cos we are freight

And freight is great

AC/DC it's OK by me



Pumping iron

Trying to build my body

Trying to lose my mind

There's a light, there's a light

We can see the light





At the end of the tunnel



Rockies

Lead to the left, box to the right

The Rockies in the house we're here tonight

R.O.C.K.I.E.S.

Put your hands together, you know we're the best

Check it out - boy


All

The sound too loud, the lights too bright

My chains are too heavy and my pants are too tight

One rock'n'roll too many takes its toll out of you

Poppa


All

Crazy, can you believe him

He's crazy, love him or leave him


Soon the pistons will be humming

Steam will have a second coming

Woo woo woo

We see the light at the end of the tunnel

We see the light at the end of the tunnel

So let the water boil - goodbye to oil




When the Angel Gabriel blows his magic toot



We see the distant gleam that tells us its steam


Starlight!
