Hey there Bracewell, i don’t give a damn If you’re a machine, but are you a man Do you think you have what it takes To help us take a stand So go on Bracewell and use what the daleks gave you Those antigravity bubbles i bet they could take our men into space Hey there Bracewell, prove that you’re human Remember the post office by the ash trees And your parents that died of scarlet fever Because they can’t explode a human being So go on Bracewell don’t you give into The thought that you might be any less of a man Hey there Bracewell, remember dorabella Who had such a smile and her eyes were so blue Like the last touch of the sunset at the edge of the world And i’ll welcome you to the human race So go on Bracewell find the woman you love so You can have the life that you have always dreamed of

This is a song for the fish That float through the fog in the sky But not for the fish that are in fish custard Or for the gross ones that came from space

What’s all this about a flying space pig? Where’s the prime minister this is his gig He’s disappeared so I guess I’m in charge but I fart a lot and I’m rather large I don’t take vinegar on my salad Excuse me sir but you’re looking pallid Is it because you have realized That I am planning your demise Victory should be naked Yeah, victory should be naked There’s nothing I like more Than casting my human suit to the floor I have such a beautiful body I’m one slitheen hottie So victory should be naked Oh so very naked You see that zipper on my forehead I’ll unzip it and you’ll soon be dead No one can get in the way the earth will be our big payday come on everyone we’ll be sellin cheap auctioning off this great big dung heap real estate salesmen except with lasers without cheesy billboards or red blazers because we’ve trapped rose tyler with that doctor who and harriet jones mp for flidel north too while sealed off in that room they can only await their own doom wait. Stop. Can you hear that sound? I think a bomb might be coming round we really should’ve known that the doctor always pwns

You’ve burrowed up from down below me And you say you want to kill all the apes I will stop this war from happening i’m the doctor and i know i have what it takes I’m the last of my species And i know how it sits in a heart So don’t you insult my intelligence If we’re going to negotiate you’ve got to play your part The future pivots around you all So do good for humanity And for the homoreptilia too There has to be some common ground A way for everyone to agree We all have too much to lose I will travel down into the centre Of the earth to try and find the ones we’ve lost While i’m gone make sure you keep your temper If you don’t we can’t know what it will cost Come on and be extraordinary Be the best that i know you can be You are decent, brilliant people Please don’t go disappointing me What’s this what happened to alaya? This really isn’t helping our cause I still think it can all work out If we all keep calm and briefly pause You can’t seem to come to an agreement But now you know how you will prepare Pass it on as legend or prophecy This planet is to be shared

I was just a little boy in search of my story Trying to tame the fish in the sky I missed an adventure, the doctor found one for me Seeing the stars with you by my side, An old friend once took a long time to teach me that life isn’t always fair So I guess I’m unfairly lucky then to have found you at all. We’re halfway out of the darkness And we’ve never seen the light of day I want to watch the sun rise over the foggy spire with you. And you may be frozen But it’s me who’s grown cold. I’m starting to remember my life with you in it Flying through the skies in our shark-driven sleigh Knowing that happiness was just one Christmas Eve away. I was the phantom of my Christmas future When me as a boy saw me as a man I had been afraid of wasting our last day But without you I had been wasting away.

Matt Smith, I completely adore you But ‘Come Along Pond’ is no ‘Geronimo’ The Daleks are different and so is the Tardis Torchwood’s gone, and so is Alonso. It’s the end of days for Russell T. Davies There’s a new doctor in town With a fez and suspenders and a natty bow tie But no matter how hard I try I’m Martha Jonesing for David Tenant And it’s no wonder why. Yeah, I’m Martha Jonesing for David Tenant And it’s no wonder why. Amy Pond, you’re my favorite companion But with Tennant by your side You’d adventure through time and space The Fearsome Doctor and a runaway bride. Rory Williams, you stole my heart A Nestene roman with a gun for a hand The lovestruck boyfriend who waited millennia A plastic soldier under Amy’s command.

All my old enemies, acting as friends Ten thousand ships in the sky Working as one while the universe ends What are you going to try? Sontarans slitheen, the daleks and the dravin All that I’ve hated are here to challenge me, They’ve all heard the warning, the pandorica is opening. The deadliest weapon, destroyer of reality It’s time to start a fight the battle is tonight No weapons worth a damn I’m standing in your way So what do you say, Think I’ve got the upper hand? No back up, no plan But I’m taking a stand With nothing left to lose. the Doctor’s in your way It’s another black day I wouldn’t want to be in your shoes. Sontarans slitheen, the daleks and the dravin All that I’ve hated are here to challenge me, They’ve all heard the warning, the pandorica is opening. The deadliest weapon, destroyer of reality

I see the earth it’s burning and i hear the children scream When they should be running, laughing, and living out their dreams I know that i must help and i know what i can do They can climb on my back and i’ll take them somewhere new Cuz i’m old and i’m kind and i can’t let children cry So i swoop in like a miracle coming from the sky I’m the last one left there is no other of my kind So i’ll travel through the stars and see what i can find I’m a starwhale, the last of the starwhales And i don’t want to see you die I’m a starwhale, the last of the starwhale But why must you tie me down Don’t tie me down I looked down from my TARDIS and what did i see But starship UK drifting down below me i popped in for a visit just to pay my respects But a quiet crying girl made me stop in my tracks Cuz i’m old and i’m kind and i can’t let children cry So i swoop in like a miracle coming from the sky I’m the last one left there is no other of my kind So i’ll travel through the stars and see what i can find I’m a timelord, the last of the timelords And i don’t want to see you die I’m a timelord, the last of the timelord But why must you let me down Don’t let me down i’m just a silly human who chose to forget but knowing the starwhale could die makes me break into a sweat i see it playing with the children and know it isn’t filled with greed so i set the starwhale free and it increases speed Cuz he’s old and he’s kind and he can’t let children cry So he swooped in like a miracle coming from the sky He’s the last one left there is no other of his kind So he’ll travel through the stars and see what he can find He’s a starwhale, the last of the starwhales And i don’t want to see him die He’s a starwhale, the last of the starwhales He shouldn’t be tied down Don’t tie him down

We’re on a quest, were on a hunt We need to find the time lord at once we’ll use our noses to track him down he’s gone into hiding and isn’t making a sound we’ll search through time and we’ll search through space until we’ve put the doctor on our dinner plates We are the family of blood We don’t want to die So we need to eat your insides Or we only have three months to be alive We want to stay alive we want to stay alive Father of mine wouldn’t it be great If we got the doctor over for a lunch date Mother of mine I am quite famished Let’s consume a time lord so we won’t be malnourished And sister of mine what do you think? Would eating john smith be a tasty treat? The doctor is human he hid his time lord in a watch We just need to find it and open the latch Some kid stole the watch now we must track him down But john smith gave up his life and now the doctors around We wanted to live forever but not like this I’m trapped as a scarecrow our plan ran amiss

Dear Santa 02:52
There’s a crack in my wall And i don’t know what to do about it So i’ll ask for some help To see if someone knows a quick wall crack fix Who could help me out? Who knows everything about everything? Santa you’re the one To send me someone to see what i’m missing Dear santa Bring me a raggedy doctor, to take me on adventures, to show me the world Hey santa One that likes fishfingers that are dipped in custard and whose life is a whirlwind A whirlwind through time Doctor there you are You’ve been gone for a really long time That cracks still there in my wall And you’ve discovered a room that i’d forgotten was mine Now prisoner zero has come out Dressed as a man taking his dog for a walk Now here come a voice from above what is all this incineration talk the doctor says i need to believe for 20 minutes if we are gonna save everyone so hey there stop that nurse who is not taking pictures of the sun the doctor will use rory’s phone to show the atraxi where thy need to go with three minutes to spare the doctor will save the world and put on quite a show

My Reality 04:15
This has to be the real world cuz you are here with me And i don’t want anyone but you This has to be the real world and it’s you and me and soon a little baby And i don’t want anything but you I’ve always known and hope that i’ve shown that you are my reality And i take every chance that i get to tell you How much i really love you What rings true isn’t so simple and you can’t spot a dream while you’re in it But dream or not i just want to hold you’re hand Whether settled down and having a baby or off with the doctor and still on adventures There’s nowhere else that i would rather be Than with you This can’t be the real world cuz you aren’t here with me And i don’t want anyone but you This can’t be the real world and if it is i don’t want to be in it Cuz i don’t want anything but you I didn’t know until just now that you are my reality And i wish that i had gotten the chance to tell you How much i really love you This here is the real world and i know because we’ve beaten the dreamlord And here i am standing next to you So tell me how did you know that the dream world wasn’t the real one I don’t know what but i think something happened to me. You died and you were turned into dust and it shattered my reality I couldn’t live in a world where you never knew How much i really loved you

The lyrics for "Martha Jonesing" and "A Song for Abigail" were written by the lovely Robyn Schneider and you should all go tell her how much you love them (www.youtube.com/robynisrarelyfunny). Alex Carpenter helped me sing "My Reality"...what a stud (www.youtube.com/alexandercarpenter).
That super adorable album art was done by the lovely Morgan Johnson (www.youtube.com/outofmyelement).
