Sarah Brightman - I lost my heart to a starship trooper

Speaker 1:

Arcaida
X-ray X-ray delta niner niner zero
This is Starfleet Control
You are clear to go hyper space
Acknowledge

Speaker 2:

Affirmative, Star Comm
We have situation gold

Speaker 1:

Niner niner zero, roger
You're looking good for trans-light

 

Sarah singing:

I lost my heart to a starship trooper
I lost my heart to a starship trooper
Oh...

 

Hey, Captain Strange, won't you be my lover
You're the best thing that I've ever discovered
Flash Gordon's left me, he's gone to the stars
An evil Darth Vader has me banished to Mars

 

Tell me, Captain Strange, do you feel my devotion
Or are you like a droid, devoid of emotion
Encounters one and two are not enough for me
What my body needs is close encounter three

 

I lost my heart to a starship trooper
Flashing lights in hyper space
Fighting for the Federation
Hand in hand we'll conquer space

 

Listen, Captain Strange, what's our destination
The scanners seem to indicate a small deviation
Static on the comm - it's Starfleet Command
Requesting your position, it's their final demand

 

You're intentions are known, they've found out at last
So if you're gonna take me, please make it fast
Touch me, feel me, do what you will
I want to feel that galatic thrill

 

I lost my heart to a starship trooper
Flashing lights in hyper space
Fighting for the Federation
Hand in hand we'll conquer space

 

Speaker 1:

Niner niner zero
This is Star Comm
We got a problem
On your vector
Request status check
Over

 

Sarah singing:

Oh, baby...

 

Speaker 3:

Arcadia
This is Strategy Control
You have course devation
At five mark six
Acknowledge

 

Sarah singing:

I love you...

 

Speaker 1:

Arcaida
We show condition red
Confirm

 

Sarah singing:

Love me...

 

Speaker 3:

What's going on out there

 

Sarah singing:

Oh...
I lost my heart to a starship trooper
Flashing lights in hyper space
Fighting for the Federation
Hand in hand we'll conquer space
I lost my heart to a starship trooper
Oh...

 

Space suit is lying on control room floor
Pulse rate increasing as the heat factor soars
Take me, make me feel the force
Ignore the computers, we're locked on course

 

I lost my heart to a starship trooper
Flashing lights in hyper space
Fighting for the Federation
Hand in hand we'll conquer space

 

I lost my heart to a starship trooper
Flashing lights in hyper space
Fighting for the Federation
Hand in hand we'll conquer space

 

Speaker 1, while Sarah sings
the previous lines repeatedly:

Niner niner zero
This is Star Comm
Be advised
You have serious vector deviation
I repeat: serious vector deviation

 

Arcadia
Niner niner zero
Do you copy

 

This is Starfleet Control
To all ships in sector five
Be advided
Arcadia
Niner niner zero
Is off course
All ships squawk ident

 

Starship Arcadia
This is Starfleet Control
Squawk ident
I repeat: squawk ident

Music and lyrics: Calvert / Hughes

This song is a single from Sarah Brightman & Hot Gossip.

Saul Pena wrote that on a Disconet record that includes this track it says:

(I lost my heart to a) starship trooper/Sarah Brightman and Hot Gossip 1979 Ariola America, Inc./PRO 7738 (Calvert/Hughes)

I assume this means that the latter two names wrote the song, hence the credits above.

A 1998 remix of the song, which is a solo version in effect lacking the voices of the speakers, later released on the Fly II special edition (2000).

Source of the lyrics: this page at SarahBrightman.co.uk, with several corrections in spelling and layout by me. Thanks to Lissa Pruitt and Joey for filling in some question marks in the spoken lines near the end.

Joey wrote that the term "squawk ident" is used to indicate via a specila code what or who your plaine is, so that ground control knows who or what you are. In therms of the song, this would mean according to Joey:

rouge space plane running around in sector five, ground control is trying to get him to light himself on the scopes, ground control is also trying to get any other flyers in sector five to light themselves up so they can be seen on the ground scope .... (best guess, ground command is trying to prevent any crashes since they know last known trajectrory of "capt strange/arcadia")

The cover of this record comes in two versions [with special thanks to Becky Wilson]:
