Billy Bragg - The Space Race Is Over lyrics
When I was young I told my mum I'm going to walk on the Moon someday Armstrong and Aldrin spoke to me From Houston and Cape Kennedy And I watched the Eagle landing On a night when the Moon was full And as it tugged the tides, I knew deep inside I too could feel its pull I lay in bed and dreamed I walked On the Sea of Tranquility I knew that someday soon we'd all sail to the Moon On the high tide of technology But the dreams had all been taken And the window seats taken too And 2001 has almost come and gone What am I supposed to do? Now that the space race is over It's been and it's gone and I'll never get to the Moon Because the space race is over And I can't help but feel that we've all grown up too soon Now my dreams have all been shattered And my wings are tattered too And I still can fly but not half as high As once I wanted to Now that the space race is over It's been and it's gone and I'll never get to the Moon Because the space race is over And I can't help but feel that we've all grown up too soon My son and I stand beneath the great night sky And gaze up in wonder I tell him the tale of Apollo And he says "Why did they ever go?" It may look like some empty gesture To go all that way just to come back But don't offer me a place out in cyberspace Cos where in the hell's that at? Now that the space race is over It's been and it's gone and I'll never get to the Moon Because the space race is over And I can't help but feel that we're all just going nowhere |
