Saved By A Bell
Mike Oldfield Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Would you like to look through my telescope?
The Milky Way's a fine sight to see.
All around our universe, we try so hard to view
What's new.

Make a trip down to Sagittarius
And take a spin by some nebula.
I hope the sky stays clear for us, the night goes on so far
In stars.

Saved by a bell,
Suffering hell,
But you were too blind to tell.
Saved by a bell,
Suffering hell,
And you made it through so well.

Shining like bright diamonds, the galaxies.
Jupiter and Saturn spin by.
Passing by companions, they all go drifting by.
They fly!

Carry me down to see Aquarius.
We're hoping to meet a shooting star.
I can see there's going to be a message from afar.
How close we are.

Saved by a bell,
Suffering hell,
But you were too blind to tell.
Saved by a bell,
Suffering hell,
And you made it through so well.

Saved by a bell,
Suffering hell,
But you were too blind to tell.
Saved by a bell,
Suffering hell,
And you made it through so well.

Saved by a bell,
Suffering hell,
But you were too blind to tell.
Saved by a bell,
Suffering hell,
And you made it through so well.

Saved by a bell,
Suffering hell,
But you were too blind to tell.
Saved by a bell,




Suffering hell,
And you made it through so well.
