Out Of This World Lyrics

Three hundred miles an hour on water
In your purpose-built machine
No one dared to call a boat
Screaming blue
Out Of This World
Make history
This is your day
Blue Bird

At such speeds, things fly

What did she say?
I know the pain of too much tenderness
Wondering when or if you'll come back again
Wanting to live for you
And being banned from giving

But only love will turn you around
Only love will turn you around
Only love
Only love will turn you around

So we live you and I
Either side of the edge
And we run and we scream
With the dilated stare
Of obsession and dreaming
What the hell do we want
Is it only to go
Where nobody has gone
A better way than the herd
Sing a different song
Till you're running the ledge
To the gasp from the crowd
Spinning round in your head
Everything that she said

Out Of This World

This song was written about Donald Campbell, a British man who broke his own water speed record repeatedly. In 1967 Donald lost control of his boat, the Bluebird K7 and both the boat and the man were lost to the lake After hearing this song, a man named Bill Smith was inspired to raise the wreckage of the Bluebird. Steve Hogarth and Steve Rothery of Marillion were on hand for the raising on May 8, 2001.
