Tonic Sol-Fa

Tonic sol-fa (or tonic sol-fah) is a pedagogical technique for teaching sight-singing, invented by Sarah Ann Glover (1785–1867) of Norwich, England and popularised by John Curwen, who adapted it from a number of earlier musical systems. It uses a system of musical notation based on movable do solfège, whereby every note is given a name according to its relationship with other notes in the key: the usual staff notation is replaced with anglicized solfège syllables (e.g. do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, do) or their abbreviations (d, r, m, f, s, l, t, d).

From Boston to Beijing
In a worn out time-machine 
We tripped to stardust
Dressed up like kings 
We drank to finer things
Boston to Beijing

Lately I'm thinking there's nobody 'round 
To love or to comfort me
Yesterday's filled with adventures that end 
And that's no kind of company

From Boston to Beijing
In a worn out time-machine 
We tripped to stardust
Dressed up like kings 
We drank to finer things
Boston to Beijing

Those days were brighter than most I suppose
Better than I deserve
But time brings redemption, you know it brings the truth
Though most days I know I'd prefer

From Boston to Beijing
In a worn out time-machine 
We tripped to stardust
Dressed up like kings 
We drank to finer things
Boston to Beijing

Gonna climb the mountain
Gonna reach the top
Gonna'sing my song
And I'm never gonna' stop (2x)

Looking back I see the four of us then
Stronger than any one man
Filled with intentions to right all the wrongs
Beautiful, noble and grand

From Boston to Beijing
In a worn out time-machine 
We tripped to stardust
Dressed up like kings 
We drank to finer things
Boston to Beijing
