Astronaut

Living in a bedsit Close to the world's end Sitting in his 'Y' fronts Sponging off his girlfriend, Carrie She says "Life's right there babe, should be getting on with it" Had a bit of talent, now you've all but squandered it It's silly And his relatives all think it's a shame A Shame And they'd say it was a mystery If his dad wasn't exactly the same The same He's been a space cadet for years Says one day he'll be an astronaut Floating in the hemisphere Looking down on Hampton Court But he's always late And knows one day he'll graduate And he'll be floating in the ozone High above the Empire High above the Empire State State State He's living in a State State State He's in a proper State State State They've got him in a State State State Sofa surfer, likes a little gamble A few dodgy debts that he says he can handle Maybe Never not {?} Stays in most night Jostling to pixelated princesses on websites Frantically And his family all say it's a waste A waste And they wash their mouths out with self-righteousness To hide the bitter taste The taste He's been a space cadet for years Says one day he'll be an astronaut Floating in the hemisphere Looking down on Hampton Court But he's always late And knows one day he'll graduate And he'll be floating in the ozone High above the Empire High above the Empire Carrie's love is cold and congealed Like last night's take-away She feels might have to do some kind Of midnight flit All there is to say has been said And as the sky's turning pink She leaves her keys by the sink And takes one last look at our Heroes face He's been a space cadet for years Says one day he'll be an astronaut Floating in the hemisphere Looking down on Hampton Court But he's always late And knows one day he'll graduate And he'll be floating in the ozone High above the Empire High above the Empire High above the Empire State Oh oh la la la la Oh oh la la la la Oh oh la la la la Now life goes on It will be played out But something's supposed to happen man before the fade out Now life goes on It will be played out But something's supposed to happen man before the fade out Now life goes on It will be played out But something's supposed to happen man before the fade out Before the fade out Before the fade out Before the fade out Before the fade out Before the fade out
