Five Miles Out

Mike Oldfield Five Miles Out Lyrics
1.Family Man

She had a sulky smile,
She took a standard pose as she presented herself.
She had sultry eyes,
She made it perfectly plain that she was his for a price.

But he said, 'leave me alone, i'm a family man,
And my bark is much worse than my bite!'
He said, 'leave me alone, i'm a family man.
If you push me too far, i just might....'

She wore hurt surprise
As she re-checked her make-up to protect herself.
She showed less than pride,
She made it totally clear that she was his for a price.

But he said, 'leave me alone, i'm a family man,
And my bark is much worse than my bite!
Please just leave me alone, i'm a family man.
If you push me too far, i just might....'

She gave him her look
That would have worked on any other man in sight.
He could not mistake,
She wanted to go back with him and spend the night.

But he said, 'leave me alone, i'm a family man,
And my bark is much worse than my bite!
Please just leave me alone, i'm a family man.
If you push me too far, i just might....'

She turned, tossed her head and then
She started to make her final exit line.
She showed real disdain,
As if explaining again she could be his for a price.

But he said, 'leave me alone, i'm a family man,
And my bark is much worse than my bite!'
He said, 'leave me alone, i'm a family man.
If you push me too far, i just might....'

But he said, 'leave me alone, i'm a family man,
And my bark is much worse than my bite!'
He said, 'leave me alone, i'm a family man.
If you push me too far, i just might....'

But he said, 'leave me alone, i'm a family man,
And my bark is much worse than my bite!'
He said, 'leave me alone, i'm a family man.
If you push me too far, i just might....'

He said, 'leave me alone, i'm a family man,
And my bark is much worse than my bite!'
He said, 'leave me alone, i'm a family man.
If you push me too far, i just might!'


2.Five Miles Out

What do you do when your falling,
You've got 30 degrees and you're stalling out?
And it's 24 miles to your beacon;
There's a crack in the sky and the warning's out.

Don't take that dive again!
Push through that band of rain!

Five miles out,
Just hold your heading true.
Got to get your finest out.
You're number 1, anticipating you.

Climbing out.
Just hold your heading true.
Got to get your finest out.
You're number 1, anticipating you.

Mayday! mayday! mayday!
Calling all stations!
This is golf-mike-oscar-victor-juliet
Imc cu.nimb...icing,
In great difficulty, over.

The traffic controller is calling,
'victor-juliet, your identity.
I have you lost in the violent storm!
Communicate or squawk 'emergency'!'

Don't take that dive again!
Push through that band of rain!

Lost in static, 18,
And the storm is closing in now.
Automatic, 18!
(got to push through!) trapped in living hell!

Your a prisoner of the dark sky,
The propeller blades are still!
And the evil eye of the hurricane's
Coming in now for the kill.

Our hope's with you,
Rider in the blue.
Welcome's waiting, we're anticipating
You'll be celebrating, when you're down and braking.

Climbing out.
(climbing, climbing)
Five miles out.
(climbing, climbing)

Five miles out,
Just hold your heading true.
Got to get your finest out....
(climbing, climbing)

Five miles out,
Just hold your heading true.
Got to get your finest out....
(climbing, climbing)

Climbing out.
Just hold your heading true.
Got to get your finest out....
(climbing, climbing)

Five miles out,
Just hold your heading true.
Got to get your finest out....
(climbing, climbing)

Climbing out.
Just hold your heading true.
Got to get your finest out....
(climbing, climbing)

Climbing out.
Just hold your heading true.
Got to get your finest out....


3.Orabidoo

Watch the skys dawning on you,
Soaring over country land.
Message comes from kathmandu:
Sky is blue and clear.
Program your outing.
Gaze at clouds in this window pane.
Where is your wish going?
The wind to control you at night.


O
Orabibi
Orabibiba
Orabibi
Orabibaba
Orabibibabi


Lazing in the sun, we glide.
Soon you come from watch.
Touched, you save me just in time,
Storm is out to catch.
Program your chartering.
Gaze at clouds in this window pane.
Stay patched through onto me.
Crawling into trouble, that's plain!


Watch out! storms in kathmandu.
Calling from country land.
Message comes from kathmandu:
Sky is blue and clear.
Program your outing.
Watching now your system for rains.
Clouds: forty storeys!

(don't come in again like that, it isn't funny,
And i pay someone else to make the orchestration!)

Oh, island of the soul,
Valleys hushed and white with snow.
Ireland's eye...
You'll linger with me 'til the day i die.
Oh, how it hurts to go.

The waters ebb and flow.
The changing seasons come and go.
Ireland's eye...
Forever reaching up into the sky,
Oh, how i'll miss you so.

The sunlight dancing on your rocky shores,
The moonlight playing upon the water.
Your memory will stay with me forever more,
Wherever i may roam.

Stay with my dreams, i will see you!
Safe in my heart i will keep you.


4.Taurus Ii(The Deep Deep Sound)

Hush now baby made a start
There's a jewel in your heart
And a star that shines for you
Watching everything you do
Don't you cry though it may seem
You were born into a dream
There's another race to run
You were not the only one
Standing in the morning sun
Waiting though it had begun
May you never run aground
Or call into the deep deep sound
Stormy weather turns to blue
Here's a song to take with you

(mike oldfield)
(vocals: maggie reilly)
