A Day In Space – Ballboy – letras

And the world turnsAnd the world turnsAnd the world turnsAnd the world turnsElvis sang thatAnd ever since i’ve been youngI’ve had a dream about going into spaceLying there in the darkness and staring downWatching continents drift by and come round againDrift by and come round againI always want to launch myself from space and dive downThrough the atmosphere through the clouds and the airAnd swoop over the heads of people walking and shopping and talkingIn moscow or paris or romeOr whereverI’d be moving so fast i’d just have time to see their astonished facesBefore i was off againBack off to my space baseWhich could be anything reallyAn asteroid a moon or a spaceshipIt’s never been that clearly defined in my dreamsBut its not importantJust to be in space would be the important thingJust to be in space would be the important thingAnd i’ve spoken to lots of people about my desire to go to spaceAnd they think it’s stupidThey say things likeWhat about the training?I hear its very hardI say hard? hard my arse!A couple of assault courses and a maths testA piece of pissI’ve suffered worse than thatI’ve suffered much worse than thatSometimes i wonder what’s wrong with peopleI think they’ve gone simultaneously soft or stupidOr they’re living in fearBut i dunno whyThere’s nothing to fear about spaceSpace is brilliantSpace is brilliantAnd i’ve told peopleI’d pay a million pounds to go to spaceWhich is trueI’d pay a million pounds or more to go for an hourOr even half an hourAlthough a day would be betterA day in spaceThat would be somethingA day in spaceThat would be somethingAnd i speak to people sometimesAnd i ask themWell what would you do if you had a million pounds?If you wouldn’t take it to space what would you do with it?They say i dunnoBuy a house or a carMaybe take a holiday somewhere »a holiday where? » i ask themOh spain, egyptSee the pyramids maybeSee the pyramids maybeWhen they say this to me i look at themI look them straight in the eyeAnd i wait for just a few secondsJust so they know what i’m going to say is going to be importantWhat i’m going to say is going to be importantAnd then i sayWhat better place could you go to than space?What’s a better holiday than that?Think about lying there when your a hunderedA hundred and ten or whateverLooking back on your life and thinkingWell what did i actually doWhat did i actually achieve »oh i saw the pyramids »Big deal!You can apparently see those from space anywayYou can see all the rest of the blue and green globe twisting and turning below youYou can see the sun lighting up the moonYou can feel the stars shining down upon your backYou dont get that in egyptAnd you don’t get that at the pyramidsAnd you don’t get that by pissing away your million pounds on somethingThat everyone else can do if they save up long enoughAnd the world turnsAnd the world turnsAnd the world turnsAnd the world turnsElvis sang that
