Billy Bragg - The Space Race Is Over Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • When I was young I told my mum
  • Im 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 wed 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
  • Its been and its gone and Ill never get to the moon
  • Because the space race is over
  • And I cant help but feel weve 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
  • Its been and its gone and Ill never get to the moon
  • Because the space race is over
  • And I cant help but feel weve 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 dont offer me a place out in cyberspace
  • Cos where in the hells that at?
  • Now that the space race is over
  • Its been and its gone and Ill never get out of my room
  • Because the space race is over
  • And I cant help but feel were all just going nowhere
