1 A Ship With No Plan

(A Horse With No Name)

In the first year of our journey
I was lookin' at all the life
There were planets, Kazon ships and things
There were nebulas and rings
The first thing I met was the old banjo guy
And Ocampa underground
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the sky was pulsing pow'r.

I've been through the quadrant on a ship with no plan
It felt good to escape the Badlands
In this quadrant, you have to make your own plans
'Cause there ain't no one gonna give you a hand.
Le-o-la, la, la, la, la, le-o-la, la, la....

After two years in the Delta Quad
My hair began to turn red
After three years in the Delta Quad
I was sleepin' in an empty bed
And the days that I knew on an earth that was new
Made me sad to go home instead

I've been through the quadrant on a ship with no plan
It felt good to escape the Badlands
In this quadrant, you have to make your own plans
'Cause there ain't no one gonna give you a hand.
Le-o-la, la, la, la, la, le-o-la, la, la....

After six years I let the crew run free
And the Helmsman got married to B'E.
There were planets, Ferengi ships and things
There were nebulas and rings
The Captain is a woman with a dark, guilty soul
And a perfect disguise above
Under the commbadge lies a heart made of gold
But a captain can give no love.

I've been through the quadrant on a ship with no plan
It felt good to escape the Badlands
In this quadrant, you have to make your own plans
'Cause there ain't no one gonna give you a hand.
Le-o-la, la, la, la, la, le-o-la, la, la....

2 I Need You

(not filked - already jetc enough)

We used to laugh
We used to cry
We used to bow our heads then wonder why
But now you're gone, I guess I'll carry on
And make the best of what you left to me
Left to me, left to me.

I need you
Like the flower needs the rain
You know, I need you
Guess I'll start it all again
You know, I need you
Like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you
I need you

And every day
I'd laugh the hours away
Just knowin' you were thinkin' of me
Then it came
That I was put to blame
For every story told about me
About me, about me

I need you
Like the flower needs the rain
You know, I need you
Guess I'll start it all again
You know, I need you
Like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you
Guess I'll start it all again
You know, I need you
I need you, I need you

3 Chakotay

(Sandman)

Technobabble outside
All the shuttlecraft grounded
Ain't the Flyer inside?
Let's all go stand around it

Funny I've been there
And you've been here
We ain't had no time to drink synthbeer

'Cause I understand
You've been runnin' from a man
That goes by the name of Chakotay
He wants to stay
But you're pushing him away
Like a lover that's been abandoned

Ain't the years gone by fast?
I suppose you have missed them.
Oh, I almost forgot to ask
Did you hear of my engagement?

Funny I've been there
And you've been here
We ain't had no time to drink synthbeer

'Cause I understand
You've been runnin' from a man
That goes by the name of Chakotay
He wants to stay
But you're pushing him away
Like a lover that's been abandoned

4 Borg Transwarp Highway

(Ventura Highway)

Carey in a Jeffries tube workin' on the core
Tell me, how long have you been in here Joe?
Some people say this new slipstream thing won't flow
You agree, I know.

Borg Transwarp Highway, runs through subspace
Where the stars are streaking
The crew are freaking - a spacerace
We're gonna go, I know

'Cause the slipstream is blowin' through our ship
And today's the day for Harry's pip
Season's over, no despair
And the warp ten lizards in the air

Watchin' out for fallin' stars
Flyin' to the Alpha Quad;
Sorry B'E, but I've seen too many that were flawed.
Aw, come on Joe, this slipstream's not so slipshod!
Thanks a lot chief, all the same...

Borg Transwarp Highway, runs through subspace
Where the stars are streaking
The crew are freaking - a spacerace
We're gonna go, I know

'Cause the slipstream is blowin' through our ship
And today's the day for Harry's pip
Season's over, no despair
And the warp ten lizards in the air
In the air

5 Don't Cross The Quadrant

(Don't Cross the River)

There's a little girl out flyin' on her own
She's got a broken heart
She's not the kind to mope about it long
She looks and dresses smart

And way back when she was dumped by Mark
She cried a little alone in the dark
She feels like runnin' and she don't know why
Out on her bridge she is trapped, so I sigh

Don't cross the quadrant if you can't beat the Borg;
Don't even try it or you'll end up in the morgue.
'Cause out here you are on your own.

And if you want you can be my girl
And soon forget the reason you were lonely
Take off those pips, we'll twist and twirl
Tonight you'll be my one and only

Don't cross the quadrant if you can't beat the Borg;
Don't even try it or you'll end up in the morgue.
'Cause out here you are on your own.

6 Only Fantasy

(Only In Your Heart)

Katie, have you seen brighter stars
And do you bear deeper scars
And does Chakotay mean that much after all?
Carry, all of the weight you can
Make a hologram
And why do you waste your time on remorse?
You've got to stay the course

'Cause it is only fantasy
And you should know you'll never see New Earth again

Wake up from an elusive dream
You've got to change the scene
And do you remember Earth is your home?
Fight off all of the Borg you can
You need a helping hand
I'm sure there's someone there just for you
He's trying to get home too

But it is only fantasy
And you should know you'll never see New Earth again

'Cause it is only fantasy
And you should know you'll never see New Earth again

You can't disregard your friend
But space gets so cold when you're at wit's end
Katie, have you seen better stars?

7 Monkey Love

(Muskrat Love)

Monkey, bathtub, candlelight
Doin' New Earth and doin' it right
in the evenin', it's pretty pleasin'

Monkey Chuckles, Monkey Kate
Do the jitterbug
Out in monkey land
And they shimmy
And Katie's so skinny

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jinglin' the jango
Floatin' to the heavens above
It looks like monkey love

Nibblin' leola, chewin' on cheese
Chuckles says to Katie
"Honey, would you please be my missus?"
And she says yes with her kisses

And now he's ticklin' her fancy
Rubbin' her neck
Finger to finger now
Katie's a wreck
As they wiggle
And Kate starts to giggle

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jinglin' the jango
Floatin' to the heavens above
It looks like monkey love

8 Fur Man

(Tin Man)

Sometimes late
When things are real
And mirc peeps share the gift of chat
Between themselves

Some bite into Thinkey's bait
And catch the perfect prize
That waits among the scripts.

But Kes never did give nothing to the Fur Man
That he didn't, didn't already have
And Cons aimed her compression phaser rifle
At his naked Talaxian hide.

So send feedback to me
When I say I'm writing fic, fic, fic, fic
JetC married with children
Pics going up, up, up, up
Spoilers pop like bubbles...

9 Starfleet People

(Lonely People)

This is for all the Starfleet people
Feeling like time has passed them by
Don't give up
Not while you still have a coffee cup;
Just ride that highway through the sky.

This is for all the Maquis people
Knowing that war has made them sigh
Don't give up
Not while you still have a coffee cup;
You never know until you try.

Well you're on your way
Yes, you're back to stay
Well, you're on your way back home.

This is for all the Starfleet people
Thinking that love has passed them by
Don't give up
Not while you still have a coffee cup;
She'll never let you down and
Never give you up
You never know until you try

10 Captain Kathryn

(Sister Golden Hair)

Well I tried to kiss her Sunday
But I got so damned depressed
That I set my sights on Monday
And I got myself undressed
She ain't ready for the altar
But she would agree there's times
When that woman sure ain't just a friend of mine

Well I keep on thinkin' 'bout you
Captain Kathryn, no surprise
And I just can't live without you
Can't you see it in my eyes?
You've been one to date photonics
You've been too too hard to find
But it doesn't mean
I ain't been on your mind

Did you love me second season?
Will you kiss me at the end?
Will you paw me just a little,
Just enough to show you care?

Well I tried to fake it
I don't mind sayin'
I just can't take it

11 Coffee Kate

(Daisy Jane)

Flyin' me back to Terra
Gotta find my Coffee Kate
Well the summer's gone
And I hope she's feelin' the same
Well I left her just to roam the Badlands
Thinkin' it would ease the pain
I'm a Maquis man but I'm playin' her Starfleet game, game

Does she really love me?
I think she does
Like the stars above me
I know because when the stars are bright
Everything's all right

Flyin' me back to Terra
Honey keep the warp core warm
Our trip took an era
But we cleared the plasma storm
Well I've been comin' back up to warp speed
Katie I think I'm sane
Well I'm awful glad
And I guess you're really to blame, blame

Do you really love me?
I hope you do
Like the stars above me
How I love you
When it's cold at night
Everything's all right

12 Captain Tonight

(Woman Tonight)

Oh hold me tight
Don't you be the Captain tonight
Oh hold me tight
Don't you be the Captain tonight

I see her sitting in the Captain's chair
I want to touch that silky auburn hair

So hold, hold me tight
Treat me right
Don't you be the Captain tonight
So treat me right
Don't you be the Captain tonight

First you touch me
And then you make me go
The only time I touched you
Was oh so long ago
So hold me, hold me tight, all right

Hold me tight
Hold me tight
Don't you be the Captain tonight
Hold me tight
Don't you be the Captain tonight

I see her sitting in the Captain's chair
I want to touch that silky auburn hair

So hold me, hold me tight
Hold me tight, Captain, tonight.
