lyrics

Please don’t signal the aliens from here
When you do they consume all the beer
They arrive in their saucers (ships)
What a rude bunch of tossers (gits)
Their chaotic intentions are clear
Please don’t signal the aliens from here

Just remember what happened before
When we failed to establish rapport
It was foolish to think
They’d nip in for one drink
Then zip off to the planet next door
Just remember we’ve been there before

The aliens, the aliens
The aliens could be our friends
Should we risk it? It depends
In a way we’re all aliens here

Maybe next time it won’t be like before
If we only could all our differences ignore
Soon we’d inter-relate
Makes it harder to hate
And they would be aliens no more
We’d none of us be aliens anymore

The aliens, the aliens
The aliens could be our friends
Should we risk it? It depends
In a way we’re all aliens here

Go ahead, call the aliens back
And you might as well offer them a snack
If they feel welcome here
There’ll be nothing to fear
We’ll be friends, we’ll be safe from attack
Go ahead, call the aliens back

The aliens, the aliens
The aliens could be our friends
Should we risk it? It depends
In a way we’re all aliens here

In other hands, this could be dire, but Doug has a special way of making you laugh AND making you think. Doug grew up in America, came of age in Scotland, and has been bouncing between the US and the UK ever since. He never saw an instrument he didn't want to play. ... more
