Astronaut Lyrics
Living in a bedsit
Close to the world's end,
Sitting in his y-fronts
Sponging off his girlfriend Caaaaarey
She says life's right there babe
Should be getting on with it
xxx better tell her that you've all but squandered it
It's siiiilly
And his relatives all think that it's a shame
And they'd say that it\'s 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
And looking down on Hampton Court
But he's always late
And knows one day he'll graduate
Then he'll be floating in the ozone
High above the empire
High above the empire
State state state state
He's living in a
State state state state
He's in a proper
State state state state
They've got him in a
State state state state
Sofa sufer, likes a little gamble
A few dodgy debts that he says he can handle
Maaaaaybe
Never not xxx
Stays in most nights
Jostling to pixelated princesses on websites
Franticly
And his family all say that it's 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
And looking down on Hampton Court
But he's always late
And knows one day he'll graduate
Then he'll be floating in the ozone
High above the empire
High above the empire
Carey's love is cold and congealed
Like last night's take-away
And she feels
She 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 hero's face
He's been a space cadet for years
Says one day he'll be an astronaut
Floating in the hemisphere
And looking down on Hampton Court
But he's always late
And knows one day he'll graduate
Then 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 s'posed to happen man before the fade out
x 4
Before the fade out x 5
