about

I released a Doctor Who concept album to celebrate the show's 50th anniversary in 2013. Since then fans have been asking for a Peter Capaldi song. Now that his run as The Doctor is over I have written one.

lyrics

Verse 1
Hey Doctor, what did you do to your face?
I don't mean to be rude to your race, but it seems
Like your eyebrows have picked up the pace, and they've taken
On a life of their own, like that sleep dust from space
What are you trying to say, to yourself?
Are you tired of lying awake? 'Cause you help
Like you've been hired to save the day, or did you just
Get punched one too many times in the face, now you're stuck that way
What seems to be your new mission, and why
Are you dressed like a crappy magician, there's a thing
Under your bed if you just stop and listen, and you bring
A chalkboard to figure nuclear fission, a magician
Played guitar in a medieval castle, and dude
They were hardly difficult to dazzle, that was shrewd
Because dying can be such a hassle, over four and a half
Billion years you watched the puzzle unravel

Chorus
Take me away to the Promised Land
With that weird liquid I don't understand
Oh hey turns out it's a Cyberman
But I'm sure you have a plan

Take me away to the Promised Land
Where the people are so pale that I look tanned
Though I know your last trip didn't go as planned
That would still be just as grand

Verse 2
I want to fly through the darkness of space, and maybe
Touch down on an alien base, just take me
To the universe's happiest place, and see all the
Characters in the biggest ever database
I want to ride on a runaway train, or we can
Shrink down and enter somebody's brain, you could
Get us a ticket for the fast lane, I want to have
Breakfast in China, and dinner in Spain
So many adventures ahead, I wanna meet
The characters with oversized heads, or see
A haunted manor and then talk to the dead, or we could go
Listen to what the past presidents said
Where 2D creations come alive and there's
Futuristic cars you can make and test drive
And humanoid androids trying to survive, and I even heard
Robin Hood is making an appearance at five
(chorus)

Doctor: "Go to hell. Or Heaven. Or wherever people go when they die. If there is a place."
Devo: "Die?! No, I wanted to go to Disney World. You know, in Florida? Space Mountain, Haunted Mansion, Hall of Presidents... Walt Disney World."
Doctor: Oh, the human race. You're never happy, are you?"

Verse 3
So Missy will talk off your ears, weren't you supposed to
Guard her for a thousand years? Well that
Goes out the window once you've had a few beers, you just
Left her to die on a ship, killed by one of her peers
And explain this whole moon thing again, it's been
An egg since god only knows when, I get that
Moons hatching is a dangerous trend, but how does
A creature lay an egg bigger than its rear end?
And forests that appear overnight, trying to
Protect us from the sun burning bright, massive
Solar flares that will light up the night, but all that
Extra oxygen would make the earth explode, am I right?
I can learn the TARDIS interface, but should I
Be concerned about your companion's fates? I mean because
You're 0 for 2 for keeping them safe, Clara met the
Raven, and Bill's a water demon in space

Spoken: So maybe I should think about this for a minute. Oh, what the hell?
(chorus)
