about

David Bowie's cover

lyrics

Do you remember a guy that's been in such an early song?
I've heard a rumour from Ground Control, oh no, don't say it's true
They got a message from the Action Man,
I'm happy, hope you're happy too
I've loved all I've needed love, sordid details following

The shrieking of nothing is killing me,
just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis
And I ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
But I'm hoping to kick but the planet is glowing

ASHES TO ASHES, FUNK TO FUNKY,
WE KNOW MAJOR TOM’S A JUNKY
STRUNG OUT IN HEAVEN’S HIGH,
HITTING AN ALL TIME LOW

Time and again I tell myself, I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me, oh no, not again
I'm stuck with a valuable friend, I'm happy, hope you're happy too
One flash of light but no smoking pistol

I've never done good things, I've never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue
I want an axe to brake the ice, I want to come down right now

CHORUS

My mama said to get things done,
you'd better not mess with Major Tom
My mama said to get things done,
you'd better not mess with Major Tom
My mama said to get things done,
you'd better not mess with Major Tom
My mama said to get things done,
you'd better not mess with Major Tom
