Song Description
Two people utterly in love, one a space cadet and the other more cynical. The space cadet takes charge allowing the other to let go and let love happen.
Musically the lovers start slow dancing in a cheesy bar and then take off on an Oasis-style chorus.

Lyrics
WE'RE GOING UP Words and music by Carole Nelson
Where d'you get that bleak black streak of hard-edged humour?
Does it make life easier to anticipate disaster?
Nothing can surprise you.
And I feel like a freak full of foolishness and notions
I want to impress you, does my cheerfulness depress you?
Is there any way that I may possess you?
You call me a dreamer and you're right
But something brought you here tonight.
What you see is what you get
One well travelled space cadet
And I'm the Captain of this flight.
CHORUS
We're going up, we've left the ground,
Look in my eyes and here the sound
Of a thousand stars exploding.
We're going up, don't turn around
Look in my eyes and here the sound
Of a thousand stars exploding.
Where d'you get that grin? I know you've been doing something?
Baby there's no need to lie, or maybe its the natural high,
That comes from learning how to fly.
And I feel like your twin turbo engine in the making.
One and one is always two, right now it's just me and you,
Trying to find something new.
You call me a dreamer and you're right
But something brought you here tonight.
What you see is what you get
One well travelled space cadet
And I'm the Captain of this flight.
CHORUS
