Scarlet The Spectrum Captain - by Paul Metcalfe

You know Ochre and Blue, Indigo and Fawn Grey and Green, Magenta and Brown But do you recall The most famous Captain of all?

Scarlet the Spectrum Captain Had a very special gift And if the Martians saw it They would likely be quite miffed

All of the other Captains Used to laugh and call him names They never let poor Scarlet Join in any Cloudbase games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve The Colonel came to say "Scarlet, with your uncanny might Won't you win our war tonight?"

Then how the Captains loved him As they shouted out with glee "Scarlet the Spectrum Captain You'll go down in history"

Scarlet the Spectrum Captain Was driving in an SPV His seat was facing rearwards It was quite a thing to see

Just then a wall of fire Erupted with a burst of flames Obscuring poor Scarlet's vision And blocking both highway lanes

Then with one flick of a switch Scarlet was heard to say "Don't you know my Spectrum gear Will help me to get out of here?"

Then pow! His chair ejected And he blasted out with glee Scarlet the Spectrum Captain Floated down into the sea

I'm Dreaming of a Green (Rings) Christmas - by Conrad Turner

I'm dreaming of a Green Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the buildings crumble And tremors rumble To hear Spectrum cry "Oh no!", "Oh no!" I said, I'm dreaming of a Green Christmas With every Martian plan I wreak May your days be scary and weak And may all your Christmas' be bleak I said, I'm dreaming of a Green Christmas With two bright rings upon the wall Where reactors melt down And Spectrum will frown To hear the Earthmen start to fall (to fall) I'm dreaming of a Green Christmas With every victim in the night May your days, may your days, may your days Be scary with fright And may none of your Christmas' be bright
