Donald Fagen Solo (Half of Steely Dan, from 1982.  For those who were there
then, this was a really cool song.  I still like it 26 yrs later.)

I.G.Y. 

Standing tough under stars and stripes 
We can tell 
This dream's in sight 
You've got to admit it 
At this point in time that it's clear 
The future looks bright 
On that train all graphite and glitter 
Undersea by rail 
Ninety minutes from New York to Paris 
Well by seventy-six we'll be A.O.K. 

What a beautiful world this will be 
What a glorious time to be free 

Get your ticket to that wheel in space 
While there's time 
The fix is in 
You'll be a witness to that game of chance in the sky 
You know we've got to win 
Here at home we'll play in the city 
Powered by the sun 
Perfect weather for a streamlined world 
There'll be spandex jackets one for everyone 

What a beautiful world this will be 
What a glorious time to be free 

On that train all graphite and glitter 
Undersea by rail 
Ninety minutes from New York to Paris 
(More leisure time for artists everywhere) 
A just machine to make big decisions 
Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision 
We'll be clean when their work is done 
We'll be eternally free yes and eternally young 

What a beautiful world this will be 
What a glorious time to be free
