No one ever lived a thousand years
Not like things we do or say
Some of those who really changed this world
We would welcome back today
They could really light the way
So call up Otis
Call up Marvin
Call for Buddy. Bring them on
Call for Ludwig
And for Johann
We need Lennon. We mean John
Words live longer than a thousand years
Listen hard to what they say
Single voices that would change this world
We would welcome back today
They would really light the way
So call up Jimi
Let's have Stevie
Look for Miles to take the floor
Call for Billie
Yell for Ella
Call up Elvis. We'll need more
So call up Einstein
Bring back Darwin
Call for Newton, and Luther King
We need Ghandi
Call Da Vinci
Call for Jesus. And ask him in
If we live another thousand years
Who could help along the way?
Some of those who came and changed this world
We would welcome back today
They would really light the way
So call up Garbo
Let's have Mansfield
Maybe Monroe, no she's for sure
Call Sinatra
Come on Crosby
Is that Bogie at the door?
Bring on Bergman
How about Dietrich
Let's have James Dean leave the car
Call Picasso
We need Monet
Let's have Rembrandt and Renoir
Call up Groucho
Come on Gable
Bring on Hitchcock and let's get Wilde
Come on Gershwin
Let's call Porter
Maybe Duke could show some style
Call up Shakespeare
Bring on Byron
We need Shelley, and maybe Keats
Come on Wordsworth
Bring on Browning
Robert Burns, and HG Wells
The lyrics CALL UP of THE ALAN PARSONS PROJECT is also present in the album The time machine (1999)
Il The Alan Parsons Project è un gruppo musicale britannico formatosi a Londra nel 1974 da Alan Parsons, ingegnere del suono di fama internazionale, e Eric Woolfson, compositore e manager. L'idea era quella di creare un progetto musicale innovativo che combinasse elementi progressivi, rock e musica classica, con l'orchestra come elemento centrale. La formazione vedeva la partecipazione di musicisti di sessione e cantanti ospiti, tra cui Lenny Zakatek, David Paton, Chris Rainbow e Colin Blunstone. Woolfson si occupava principalmente della composizione dei brani vocali, mentre Parsons si dedicava alla produzione e a composizioni strumentali. Tra i loro album più noti figurano *Tales of Mystery and Imagination* (1976), ispirato alle opere di Edgar Allan Poe, *Pyramid* (1975) e *Eye in the Sky* (1977). Il gruppo ha raggiunto il successo internazionale negli anni '70 e '80 con brani come "Sirius", "I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You" e "Time Away". Dopo la fine del progetto nel 1982, Parsons e Woolfson hanno continuato a lavorare in modo indipendente. Woolfson è morto nel 2009.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
