The Space Lady - Major Tom

Standing there alone
The ship is waiting, all systems are go
"Are you sure?" Control is not convinced
But the computer has the evidence
No need to abort, the countdown starts

Watching in a trance, the crew is certain
Nothing left to chance, all is working
Trying to relax, up in the capsule

"Send me up a drink"
Jokes Major Tom
The count goes on

Four, three, two, one
Earth below us, drifting, falling
Floating weightless
Calling, calling home

Second stage is cut, we're now in orbit
Stabilizers up, running perfect
Starting to collect requested data
"What will it affect when all is done?"
Thinks Major Tom

Back at ground control, there is a problem
"Go to rockets full," not responding
"Hello Major Tom, are you receiving?
Turn the thrusters on, we're standing by"
There's no reply

Four, three, two, one
Earth below us, drifting, falling
Floating weightless
Calling, calling home

Four, three, two, one
Earth below us, drifting, falling
Floating weightless
Coming home

Earth below us, drifting, falling
Floating weightless
Coming, coming home
Home, home, home

Cut Copy - Let Me Show You Love

Don’t need to threat, don’t need to bow
Throw me your true believers’
You’re on the run, look out to space
Don’t need no [...] to go round his face
You solely need’and coming into the place [...]
Shutter of the night but not to kill
We’re gonna slice the bottom and let it spill

Let me show you, show you love
Let me show you, show you love
Let me show you, show you love
Let me show you, [...] cut down, cut down, cut down

I need to leave, just got to do
Into the rivers of the universe [...] through
Only the good, just seize the day
Tell me ‘that’s all the same

Let me show you, show you love
Let me show you, show you love
Let me show you, show you love
Let me show you, [...] cut down, cut down, cut down

Get back, not fall in love
Get back, not fall in love
Get back, not fall in love
Get back, not fall in love
Get back, not fall in love
Get back, not fall in love
Get back, not fall in love

Just keep holding on to love
Just keep holding on to love
Just keep holding on to love
Just keep holding on to love
Just keep holding on to love
Just keep holding on to love
Just keep holding on to love
Just keep holding on to love

Punk Rock Is Good For You

Marianne Faithfull - Sister Morphine

Here I lie in my hospital bed,
Tell me, Sister Morphine, when are you coming round again.
Oh, I don't think I can wait that long,
Oh, you see I'm not that strong.

The scream of the ambulance is sounding in my ears.
Tell me, Sister Morphine, how long have I been lying here ?
What am I doing in this place ?
Why does the doctor have no face ?
Oh, I can't crawl across the floor.
Can't you see, Sister Morphine, I'm just trying to score.

Well, it just goes to show things are not what they seem.
Please, Sister Morphine, turn my nightmare into dreams.
Oh, can't you see I'm fading fast
And that this shot will be my last.

Sweet Cousin Cocaine, lay your cool hands on my head.
Hey, Sister Morphine, you'd better make up my bed
For you know and I know in the morning I'll be dead,
And you can sit around and you can watch the clean white sheets stain red.
