In a land of dreams, what is there to see?
A big surprise especially for me
It's a world only I can uncover and try
To see any big surprise inside
I know for now it's magic time
And I know I can count from one to nine
But what comes after ten? I look and see
There's an answer just for me
Beyond number ten, there's the meaning of my being
Beyond my eyes that were made for seeing
Lifeless eyes that roll around
Just like Thomas The Tank Engine when he falls to the ground?
Is Dream Street a ripoff or Sodor or not?
'Cause sometimes on Sodor, it's way too hot
Mainly due to the gossip flowing around
About a red balloon lifting off the ground
Oh, Buddy, I wish you'd learn...
When Carlton Home Media took hold of the distribution for Thunderbirds and some of Gerry Anderson's other shows, my friends from International Rescue and I were over the moon. WHOOSH! Sorry, that was me, jumping over the moon.
I was great friends with every single kids' character that Carlton released, especially Christmassy ones like Rudolph and Annabelle the cow. But the ones that inspired me the most were all those Carlton videos which had show don't tell moments - Jellikins, Dream Street, Timbuctoo, you name it, it's in there. Yeah! It was the life.
I would usually tell the Gossips, those two gosh-darn Traffic Lights, to sing me a song. While the polite one sings perfectly, her companion always screams out new words into the song she's singing. It always makes me laugh, and when I was a toddler, I begged for them to do it again and again until their throats were sore. I would go for rides on Rudolph's back, often causing a huge mess behind us - furniture upside down, pictures askew, and loads of muddy hoof tracks on the floor!
But it doesn't matter now, guys, because I've got my friends from International Rescue with me. Thanks, you guys.
