pulp musicals - may this monument stand forever lyrics

Loading...

narrator:
in a blinding flash
they were transported
to a bustling harbor
that belonged to a city
that must have been
ten thousand strong
there was something peculiar
‘bout this city on the water
hershel looked around
herschel:
something’s wrong

narrator:
steamships passed upriver
as smoke filled the air

margaret:
i’ve never seen so many…

rose:
not even in new york harbor

narrator:
merchants moved around them
tending to their wares

herschel:
excuse me, sailor! what is the name of this
settlemеnt?

morgan:
the port of hanover, sir
(a ship’s bell rings)
sorry, sir, i must gеt to the ellen austin. she
can’t leave without her bosun
herschel:
…hanover. oh my god

narrator:
everyone looked to the sky

samuel:
there she is

narrator, chorus:
they saw the brick satellite
standing strong with all her might

margaret:
don’t give up the fight

rose, samuel:
travel where you might

herschel:
we will reunite

rose:
look!

narrator:
on the beach beside the harbor
a towering obelisk
they hurried to the monument
that was made entirely of brick
there was a plaque, samuel read
this is what it said
samuel:
on this site in eighteen thirty+five
sir john herschel and anna hanover
launched the first brick satellite, the sagitta
in what was known as township number nine

herschel:
what?

samuel:
erected to commemorate their bravery
to thank them for their gift to all mankind
may this monument stand forever
dedicated august, eighteen sixty+five

chorus:
this is your brick satellite
this is your brick satellite

rose:
… what year is it?

narrator:
to be continued!
