| 1 | Ground control to Major Tom space oddityGround control to Major Tom Take your protein pills and put your helmet on Ground control to Major Tom (10, 9, 8, 7) Commencing countdown, engines on (6, 5, 4, 3) Check ignition, and may God´s love be with you (2, 1, liftoff) 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 the 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 100,000 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... Here am I floating round my tin can Far above the moon Planet Earth is blue, and there´s nothing I can do | david bowie |
| 2 | I-I wish you could swim heroesLike the dolphins-like dolphins can swim Though nothing-nothing will keep us together We can beat them-for ever and ever Oh we can be heroes-just for one day I-I will be king And you-you will be queen Though nothing will drive them away We can be heroes-just for one day We can beat them-just for one day I-I can remember Standing-by the wall And the guns-shot above our heads And we kissed-as though nothing could fall And the shame-was on the other side Oh we can beat them-forever and ever Then we could be heroes-just for one day We can be heroes (3X) Just for one day We can be heroes We´re nothing, and nothing will help us Maybe we´re lying, then you better not stay But we could be safer, just for one day Oh, oh, oh, ohhh-oh, oh, oh, ohhh, just for one day Oh, just for one day | david bowie |
| 3 | I still don´t know what I was waiting for changesAnd my time was running wild A million dead-end streets Every time I thought I´d got it made It seemed the taste was not so sweet So I turned myself to face me But I´ve never caught a glimpse Of how the others must see the faker I´m much too fast to take that test Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the stranger) Ch-ch-Changes Don´t want to be a richer man Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the stranger) Ch-ch-Changes Just gonna have to be a different man Time may change me But I can´t trace time I watch the ripples change their size But never leave the stream Of warm impermanence and So the days float through my eyes But still the days seem the same And these children that you spit on As they try to change their worlds Are immune to your consultations They´re quite aware of what they´re going through Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the stranger) Ch-ch-Changes Don´t tell them to grow up and out of it Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the stranger) Ch-ch-Changes Where´s your shame You´ve left us up to our necks in it Time may change me But you can´t trace time Strange fascination, fascinating me Changes are taking the pace I´m going through Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the stranger) Ch-ch-Changes Oh, look out you rock ´n rollers Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the stranger) Ch-ch-Changes Pretty soon you´re gonna get a little older Time may change me But I can´t trace time I said that time may change me But I can´t trace time | david bowie |

| 5 | Starman: starmanDidn´t know what time it was, the lights were low I leaned back on my radio Some cat was layin´ down some rock ´n´ roll ´lotta soul, he said Then the loud sound did seem to fade Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase That weren´t no D.J. that was hazy cosmic jive There´s a starman waiting in the sky He´d like to come and meet us But he thinks he´d blow our minds There´s a starman waiting in the sky He´s told us not to blow it Cause he knows it´s all worthwhile He told me: Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children boogie I had to phone someone so I picked on you Hey, that´s far out so you heard him too! Switch on the TV we may pick him up on channel two Look out your window I can see his light If we can sparkle he may land tonight Don´t tell your poppa or he´ll get us locked up in fright There´s a starman waiting in the sky He´d like to come and meet us But he thinks he´d blow our minds There´s a starman waiting in the sky He´s told us not to blow it Cause he knows it´s all worthwhile He told me: Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children boogie There´s a starman waiting in the sky He´d like to come and meet us But he thinks he´d blow our minds There´s a starman waiting in the sky He´s told us not to blow it Cause he knows it´s all worthwhile He told me: Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children boogie | david bowie |

| 7 | Ziggy played guitar, ziggy stardustjamming good with Weird and Gilly The spiders from Mars. He played it left hand, But made it too far, Became the special man, then we were Ziggy´s band. Ziggy really sang, screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo Like some cat from Japan, he could lick ´em by smiling He could leave ´em to hang Came on so loaded man, well hung and snow white tan. So where were the spiders while the fly tried to break our balls Just the beer light to guide us, So we bitched about his fans and should we crush his sweet hands Ziggy played for time, living us that we were voodoo The kids were just crass, he was the nazz With God given ass He took it all too far but boy could he play guitar. Making love with his ego Ziggy sucked up into his mind Like a leper messiah When the kids had killed the man I had to break up the band | david bowie |

| 15 | Let me put my arms about your head drive in saturdayGee, it´s hot let´s go to bed Don´t forget to turn out the light Don´t laugh babe, it´ll be allright Pour me out another phone I´ll ring and see if your friends are home Perhaps the strange ones in the dome Can lend us a book we can read up alone And try to get it on like once before when people stared in Jagger´s eyes and scored Like the video films we saw His name was always Buddy And he´d shrug and ask to stay And she´d sigh like Twig the Wonder Kid And turn her face away She´s uncertain if she likes him But she knows she really loves him It´s a crash course for the ravers It´s a Drive-in Saturday Jung the foreman played at work That neither hands nor limbs would burst It´s hard enough to keep formations with this fall out saturation Cursing at the Astronette That stands in steel by his cabinet He´s crashing out with Sylvian The Bureau Supply for ageing men With snorting head he gazes to the shore Which once had raised a sea that raged no more Like the video films we saw His name was always Buddy And he´d shrug and ask to stay And she´d sigh like Twig the Wonder Kid and turn her face away She´s uncertain if she likes him But she knows she really loves him It´s a crash course for the ravers It´s a Drive-in Saturday | david bowie |

| 17 | It´s a God awful small affair life on mars?To the girl with the mousey hair, But her mummy is yelling, "No!" And her daddy has told her to go, But her friend is no where to be seen. Now she walks through her sunken dream To the seats with the clearest view And she´s hooked to the silver screen, But the film is sadd´ning bore For she´s lived it ten times or more. She could spit in the eyes of fools As they ask her to focus on Sailors Fighting in the dance hall. Oh man! Look at those cavemen go. It´s the freakiest show. Take a look at the lawman Beating up the wrong guy. Oh man! Wonder if he´ll ever know He´s in the best selling show. Is there life on Mars It´s on America´s tortured brow That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow. Now the workers have struck for fame ´Cause Lennon´s on sale again. See the mice in their million hordes From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads. Rule Britannia is out of bounds To my mother, my dog, and clowns, But the film is a sadd´ning bore ´Cause I wrote it ten times or more. It´s about to be writ again As I ask you to focus on Sailors Fighting in the dance hall. Oh man! Look at those cavemen go. It´s the freakiest show. Take a look at the lawman Beating up the wrong guy. Oh man! Wonder if he´ll ever know He´s in the best selling show. Is there life on Mars | david bowie |
