THE HUMAN LEAGUE - LYRICS
FIRST MAN IN SPACE (Buckle/Honer/Cocker)
ALBUM VERSION: I was the first man in space on our street I had to leave my wife and kids behind It was a chance I could not pass upon It was the journey of a lifetime I threw away my packing up As they were waving me bye bye Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe And the air that I breathe is so thin I get high And I'm floating like god in his heaven High in the stratosphere Darling come quick you can see our house from here Seen some burn on re entry Bones that have crumbled to dust It was rough but I kept it together But now I'm finding it hard to ajust How are you supposed to open these new milk cartons? Why don't they make golden nuggets no more? Where was the ticket...reception How come no one wants to know what I saw? How come no one wants to know what I saw? How come no one wants to know what I saw? How come no one wants to know what I saw? How come no one wants to know? And I'm floating like god in his heaven High in the stratosphere Darling come quick you can see our house from here And I'm floating like god in his heaven High in the stratosphere Darling come quick you can see our house from here Lumps of rock Alien lifeforms Parties with no atmosphere Space is cold Home is colder When you come home at night And there's nobody here When you come home at night And there's nobody here When you come home at night And there's nobody here When you come home at night And there's nobody here And there's nobody here And there's nobody here And I'm floating like god in his heaven High in the stratosphere Darling come quick you can see our house from here And I'm floating like god in his heaven High in the stratosphere Darling come quick you can see our house from here And I'm floating like god in his heaven And I'm floating like god in his heaven And I'm floating like god in his heaven And I'm floating like god in his heaven And I'm floating like god in his heaven And I'm floating like god in his heaven And I'm floating like god in his heaven And I'm floating like god in his heaven And I'm floating like god in his heaven And I'm floating like god in his heaven And I'm floating like god in his heaven And I'm floating like god in his heaven
LONGER VERSION: Dear Mary So nice to be back on solid ground after being away for so long Gravity is a drag though, isn't? Really gets me down sometimes I hardly recognised the place when I first got back I still feel slightly dislocated Whilst I was exploring the final frontier there seems to have been a coffee revolution Now everyones a rcoket man As long as it is served with a balsamic dressing But I mustn't complain So many others didn't make it back Or never even get off the ground in the first place Please call round whenever you feel like it It would be lovely to see you again The kids must be quite grown up now I suppose Still, that's progress for you See you soon Love Phil I was the first man in space on our street I had to leave my wife and kids behind It was a chance I could not pass upon It was the journey of a lifetime I threw away my packing up As they were waving me bye bye Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe And the air that I breathe is so thin I get high And I'm floating like god in his heaven High in the stratosphere Darling come quick you can see our house from here Seen some burn on re entry Bones that have crumbled to dust It was rough but I kept it together But now I'm finding it hard to ajust How are you supposed to open these new milk cartons? Why don't they make golden nuggets no more? Where was the ticket...reception How come no one wants to know what I saw? How come no one wants to know what I saw? How come no one wants to know what I saw? How come no one wants to know what I saw? How come no one wants to know? And I'm floating like god in his heaven High in the stratosphere Darling come quick you can see our house from here And I'm floating like god in his heaven High in the stratosphere Darling come quick you can see our house from here Lumps of rock Alien lifeforms Parties with no atmosphere Space is cold Home is colder When you come home at night And there's nobody here When you come home at night And there's nobody here When you come home at night And there's nobody here When you come home at night And there's nobody here And there's nobody here And there's nobody here And I'm floating like god in his heaven High in the stratosphere Darling come quick you can see our house from here And I'm floating like god in his heaven High in the stratosphere Darling come quick you can see our house from here And I'm floating like god in his heaven And I'm floating like god in his heaven And I'm floating like god in his heaven And I'm floating like god in his heaven And I'm floating like god in his heaven And I'm floating like god in his heaven And I'm floating like god in his heaven And I'm floating like god in his heaven And I'm floating like god in his heaven And I'm floating like god in his heaven And I'm floating like god in his heaven And I'm floating like god in his heaven
