When I first escaped the city of York
And leapt out of this cage
Well, no silicon chip could sublimate
Or tame this temptuous rage
When my heart was in the attic
Like the picture of Dorian Gray
I was rescued by the enemy
That dare not speak it's name
Say hello to your future
I'm just pleased to meet you
You were a million miles away
Say hello to your lion's heart
Queen Victoria's England
Will never ever be the same
When I left the warm surroundings
Of my selfish difficult stage
When our eyes first met there was deja vu
And a feeling I could not shake
Then when gravity seduced me
And drew me to this place
I could swear we were together
In an entirely different age
Say hello to your future
I'm just pleased to meet you
You were a million miles away
Say hello to your lion's heart
Queen Victoria's England
Will never ever be the same
So wonderfully good looking
With fine and delicate lines
If I place this face in carbon freeze
It will never be affected by time
She said, "Don't confuse your beauty
With the insolence of youth
You can move through time in one direction
Sad, but it's the truth"
But it took so long to meet you
But it took so long to meet you
It took so long to meet you
It's time to go, it's time to leave
(You should never have come)
Get back to the craft
Get back to your age
And take somebody with you
Say hello to your future
I'm just pleased to meet you
You were a million miles away
Say hello to your lion's heart
Queen Victoria's England
Will never ever be the same
Say hello to your future
I'm just pleased to meet you
You were a million miles away
Say hello to your lion's heart
Queen Victoria's England
Will never ever be the same
