Space/Space Oddity
In 1969 man was about to land on the moon. A year earlier Stanly Kubrick had shown how the future in 2001 would look like. And David Bowie wrote a song about Major Tom:
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
Check ignition and may God's love be with you
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Lift off
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'm past 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...
Here am I floating round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
