Big Big Train
Experimental Gentlemen
[Part 1: Reflectors of Light]
Set a course for the stars...
[Part 2: Merchants of Light]
Farewell, my friends
Taking leave of England
Headed due south;
Experimental gentlemen
On the high seas
Clear the distance
Chase the moon
Across the sky;
Experimental gentlemen
At the ends of the Earth
Seeking landfall
The observers and collectors
Making order of the world
At the masthead
Crow's nest
Spyglass in hand;
Experimental gentlemen
Listen out for
The sound of the waves
Breaking on a distant shore
At the edge of the known world
Dare to know
Set a course for the stars
Men of reason
Making sense of the world
And the wonder of it all
Dare to know
The wonder of it all
[Part 3: The Wonder of it All]
