From the musical, WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE RAILWAY CHILDREN. 

(SUNG BY THE DOCTOR TO MOTHER.)                  This song is about the dreamer thinking about his ideal lover. Although slightly "middle of the road", it uses electronic effects as backing.

Turn back the pages of my memory                What do I find then take a look,                      Used to think of love, Like a picture book.

There am I on a fine white horse,                     

She was a lady in distress,                             

And I would rescue her,                                 

From your unhappiness, From all your loneliness

Was I a real man, For a real woman,              There’s no pretending, When you’re in love …

I only lived in books I read,                                  A prince, a dashing cavalier,                           

That was long ago,                                       

Now the time grows near.

We tried to find each other everywhere, I went to plays, we were the stars, I dreamt she was my girl, But I felt very sad, It didn’t get me far,

Where was that new man, For that real woman,    I feel a new man, Could this be love …           

What is love, is this love,                                       I feel a new man,                                               Could it be love?

Close up the pages of that picture book, Romantic heroes wave goodbye,                        I‘m not a perfect man,                                        But you can make me sigh,                                  And yes I can hear you sigh

Yes I am new man, For a real woman,               

  I feel a new man, ‘Cause we’re in love…              I’m in love, you’re in love, We’re in love,            Yes I’m a new man And we’re in love ...
