The Flying Pickets - Space Oddity lyrics

Sit back and fasten your seat belts now
As Flying Pickets take you out of
This world and into the worlds beyond
Two, two, four

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and
Put your helmet on

Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Start ignition and may God's love be with you

This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know
Whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the
Capsule if you dare

This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Though I've crossed one
Hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows
Which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows

Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?

Can you hear

Here am I floating round my tin can
Far above the Moon planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do
