PEARL I'll know him when I see him For long before I see him I will hear the far off signal I will hear the Distant call And then he'll whistle at me. He'll send a not and woo me. He'll whistle at me, I'm gonna hitch him to me. Some day soon he'll whistle at me, That's how I'll recognise him And maybe I will whistle at him - That should surprise him. Don't give me insistent humming, Horns and bells and distant drumming, I want steam that's under pressure As it rises to a scream, Somebody whistle at me, I'm all anticipation. I need someone to whistle at me, I'm waiting at the station. Come on, soneone whistle at me, I'm longing to be near him. I need someone to whistle at me - I'll know him when I hear him.

One of them has style, Sets the world alight, The other makes me smile So who gets the part? Make up my mind, Make up my heart. One of them is strong, One of them is good But both could turn out wrong So who gets the part? Please someone help me make up my heart, Tell me how to make up my heart. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ RACE ONE CONTROL Heat one. Heat one. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. Trains gone! Four trains going for two final places. Greaseball and Espresso are the early leaders with Nintendo pressing in third.

Across the high level, it's Greaseball, Electra, Nintendo and Espresso. Nintendo takes Electra and Nintendo passes Greaseball! Don't play with electricity - the champ leads - this is getting hot! Nintendo must win. He's overdone it. Nintendo crashes! Winner of heat one: Greaseball the diesel with Electra in second place.

FLAT-TOP That stuff is so out of date. ROCKY I Cool it man. Poppa's gonna sing! ROCKIES Poppa don't sing often, but he do sing mean. POPPA Oh the first line of the blues is always sung a second time (oh yeah?) First line of the blues is always sung a second time (kinda smooth!)

It's Turnov, the Russian lead. Ouch, Poppa shows Turnov he still packs a punch! Poppa's taking the lead but Dustin takes him wide letting Ruhrgold through. It's Ruhrgold, Turnov, Bobo and Poppa coming out of the high lever. And Ruhrgold stops - this is getting really mean! Bobo goes through to take the lead. Poppa's turning on the power, they approach the tunnel. The old guy does it! Winner of Heat Two : Poppa McCoy with Bobo in second place. Poppa and Bobo have a place in the final. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ STARLIGHT EXPRESS RUSTY When you good nights have been said And you are lying in bed With the covers pulled up tight And though you count every sheep You get the feeling that sleep Is going to stay away tonight.

This is control. And now for the race that keeps going day and night. The final Trans-America trial for the championship of the world. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. Trains gone! Here's a surprise-look at that Rusty go. He passes Bobo. He's got a head of steam and he's mad to show the big boys. He's chasing Electra. He's chasing Greaseball. What's the champion gonna go about it? Oh my God! Race cancelled. Race cancelled. Who did that? Re-run in fifteen minutes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ RIGHT PLACE, RIGHT TIME ROCKIES If I had the chances, If I had the breaks Could have been a winner I had what it takes But I wasn't in the right place At the right time. Didn't have the rhythm, Didn't have the rhyme. I wasn't in the right place At the right time. Could've been a contender, Could've been a star. Never reached the finals, Didn't get that far 'Cos I wasn't in the right place At the right time. Didn't have the rhythm, Didn't have the rhyme. I wasn't in the right place At the right time.

STARLIGHT Only you have the power within you. Just believe in yourself - The sea will part before you, Stop the rain, turn the tide. If only you use the power within you Needn't beg the world To turn around and help you If you draw on what you have within you Somewhere deep inside. RUSTY Starlight Express, Starlight Express Are you real, yes or no? Starlight Express, answer me yes. I don't want you to go. STARLIGHT Rusty you're blind, look in your mind - I'm there.

RUSTY I won't let you down. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ RACE FOUR CONTROL Control. Control. Re-run of championship on downhill course. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. It's Greaseball, Electra, Bobo and Rusty as they come down from the high level and Electra passes the champion. Bobo passes the champion. Something's holding the champion back. It's Pearl, and the chammpion doesn't like that one bit. Oh, no - he's uncoupled Pearl. We have a runaway. Pearl's heading for the edge and Rusty saves her. That was courageous. The champion's racing solo. That's not allowed. Not for long. Greaseball takes Ashley and Bobo's out of it. Back at the high level now with Electra leading and the champion is second. It looks like Rusty's bid has failed. Can't anyone take the electric superstar? Can the champion comme back? It's Electra and the champion disputing the lead. Rusty comes through. Electra zaps the champion. Against all the odds, Rusty is the champion. Rusty for lap of honour. RUSTY I must find Pearl. I must find Pearl. I must find Pearl. I must find Pearl. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NEXT TIME YOU FALL IN LOVE PEARL I guess I'm not too good at keeping love alive for long. I think I've found the answers but the answer's always wrong. My first love was my true love and it should have been my last. The only time I'm happy when I'm dreaming in the past. Next time you fall in love It better be with me, The way it used to be. Back then was when We touched the Starlight. Sometimes you turn away from what your heart tells you is right And so you settle for whatever gets you through the night. The flame you thought was dead may suddenly begin to burn And broken hearts can be repaired, that's something that you learn. Next time you fall in love It better be with me, The way it used to be. Back then was when We touched the Starlight. RUSTY I've re-lived every moment that I ever shared with you. What fools we were to end a dream that looked like coming true. Next time you fall in love It better be with me, The way it used to be. PEARL AND RUSTY Back then was when We touched the Starlight. Next time you fall in love It better be with me, The way it used to be. Back then was when We touched the Starlight. I guess I'm not too good at keeping love alive for long. I think I've found the answers but the answer's always wrong. My first love was my true love and it should have been my last. The only time I'm happy's when I'm dreaming in the past. Next time you fall in love It better be with me, The way it used to be. Back then was when We touched the Starlight. Next time you fall in love It better be with me, The way it used to be. Back then was when We touched the Starlight. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ONE ROCK 'N' ROLL TOO MANY GREASEBALL AND ELECTRA One Rock 'n' Roll too many, One night's sleep too few. Too much ringing that bell Takes its toll out of you. GREASEBALL The sound's too loud. ELECTRA The light's too bright. GREASEBALL My chains are too heavy And my pants are too tight. BOTH One Rock 'n' Roll too many, Takes its toll... out of you. One Rock 'n' Roll too many, I can't take no more. GREASEBALL Whaddya say? ELECTRA I can't hear nothing. GREASEBALL Whaddya say? ELECTRA I can't hear nothing. GREASEBALL I can't hear nothing. ELECTRA Whaddya say? BOTH I said one Rock 'n' Roll too many Takes its toll... And the soul... Out of you! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL POPPA Diesel is for unbelievers. Electricity is wrong.
