作词 : Bragg | |
When i was young i told my mum | |
I'm going to walk on the moon someday | |
Armstrong and aldrin spoke to me | |
From houston and cape kennedy | |
And i watched the eagle landing | |
On a night when the moon was full | |
And as it tugged at the tides, i knew deep inside | |
I too could feel its pull | |
I lay in my bed and dreamed i walked | |
On the sea of tranquillity | |
I knew that someday soon we'd all sail to the moon | |
On the high tide of technology | |
But the dreams have all been taken | |
And the window seats taken too | |
And 2001 has almost come and gone | |
What am i supposed to do? | |
Now that the space race is over | |
It's been and it's gone and i'll never get to the moon | |
Because the space race is over | |
And i can't help but feel we've all grown up too soon | |
Now my dreams have all been shattered | |
And my wings are tattered too | |
And i can still fly but not half as high | |
As once i wanted to | |
Now that the space race is over | |
It's been and it's gone and i'll never get to the moon | |
Because the space race is over | |
And i can't help but feel we've all grown up too soon | |
My son and i stand beneath the great night sky | |
And gaze up in wonder | |
I tell him the tale of apollo and he says | |
"why did they ever go?" | |
It may look like some empty gesture | |
To go all that way just to come back | |
But don't offer me a place out in cyberspace | |
Cos where in the hell's that at? | |
Now that the space race is over | |
It's been and it's gone and i'll never get out of my room | |
Because the space race is over | |
And i can't help but feel we're all just going nowhere |
