It could have been so great. They could have been heroes. But no. The internet made us disconnected, but theyâre on another planet.
Maybe it was always like this, only now we can tune in at any time of day and hear the details. We watch, open-mouthed, as they get away with it. Criminal activity, noxious views, obscene gestures â anything goes when you have all the money in the world and a platform to spew from.
Living in a permanent state of cognitive dissonance is exhausting. Let’s disobey, let off steam, take care of each other and never, ever, give up.

LYRICS
Spaceman
Floating in your tin can
Furious at everyone
Will you go straight for the gun?
Coulda woulda shoulda done
Still you go
Straight for the gun
Are we ecstatic or just numb?
Pushing through the bodies as we run
Boil the water slowly so we forget to scream
Pick out the wrong side
So we can just fight
Spacequeen
Louder than you should have been
Blowing it to smithereens
Still you go
Straight for the gun
âUnbelievable scenesâ
Cos you go
Straight for the gun
Are we ecstatic or just numb?
Pushing through the bodies as we run
Boil the water slowly so we forget to scream
Pick out the wrong side
So we can just fight
Itâs too late
Let your lies drag you under
Tell me what you want now
Can you tell me?
Tell me what you want now
Youâve got nothing to say anyway
Tell me what you want now
Itâs all so strange, strange, strange
Tell me what you want now
Youâve got nothing to say
Nothing to say
Nothing to say
Spaceman
Could have been the biggest bang
But you go
Straight for the gun
Are we ecstatic or just numb?
Pushing through the bodies as we run
Boil the water slowly so we forget to scream
Pick out the wrong side
So we can just fight
Pick out the wrong side
So we can just fight
Pick out the wrong side
So we can just fight
You do make a charming inflatable rocket, my friend. And yes, you made me laugh, which bouys my own day. Thank you.
Another tremendous song and video from an artist I love. Well done Laura on how the new album is sounding from what Iâve heard so far
A suitable eye catching fun video for another great track. Looking forward to the rest of the album.
Currently listening to some Matt Berry back catalogue and hoping my Manics bundle for their new album arrives on time tomorrow.
Tony.
