And the world turns

5
Elvis sang that
6
And ever since i've been young
7
I've had a dream about going into space
8
Lying there in the darkness and staring down
9
Watching continents drift by and come round again
10
Drift by and come round again
11
I always want to launch myself from space and dive down
12
Through the atmosphere through the clouds and the air
13
And swoop over the heads of people walking and shopping and talking
14
In moscow or paris or rome
15
Or wherever
16
I'd be moving so fast i'd just have time to see their astonished faces
17
Before i was off again
18
Back off to my space base
19
Which could be anything really
20
An asteroid a moon or a spaceship
21
It's never been that clearly defined in my dreams
22
But its not important
23
Just to be in space would be the important thing
24
Just to be in space would be the important thing
25
And i've spoken to lots of people about my desire to go to space
26
And they think it's stupid
27
They say things like
28
What about the training?
29
I hear its very hard
30
I say hard? hard my arse!
31
A couple of assault courses and a maths test
32
A piece of piss
33
I've suffered worse than that
34
I've suffered much worse than that
35
Sometimes i wonder what's wrong with people
36
I think they've gone simultaneously soft or stupid
37
Or they're living in fear
38
But i dunno why
39
There's nothing to fear about space
40
Space is brilliant
41
Space is brilliant
42
And i've told people
43
I'd pay a million pounds to go to space
44
Which is true
45
I'd pay a million pounds or more to go for an hour
46
Or even half an hour
47
Although a day would be better
48
A day in space
49
That would be something
50
A day in space
51
That would be something
52
And i speak to people sometimes
53
And i ask them
54
Well what would you do if you had a million pounds?
55
If you wouldn't take it to space what would you do with it?
56
They say i dunno
57
Buy a house or a car
58
Maybe take a holiday somewhere
59
"a holiday where?" i ask them
60
Oh spain, egypt
61
See the pyramids maybe
62
See the pyramids maybe
63
When they say this to me i look at them
64
I look them straight in the eye
65
And i wait for just a few seconds
66
Just so they know what i'm going to say is going to be important
67
What i'm going to say is going to be important
68
And then i say
69
What better place could you go to than space?
70
What's a better holiday than that?
71
Think about lying there when your a hundered
72
A hundred and ten or whatever
73
Looking back on your life and thinking
74
Well what did i actually do
75
What did i actually achieve
76
"oh i saw the pyramids"
77
Big deal!
78
You can apparently see those from space anyway
79
You can see all the rest of the blue and green globe twisting and turning below you
80
You can see the sun lighting up the moon
81
You can feel the stars shining down upon your back
82
You dont get that in egypt
83
And you don't get that at the pyramids
84
And you don't get that by pissing away your million pounds on something
85
That everyone else can do if they save up long enough
86
And the world turns
87
And the world turns
88
And the world turns
89
And the world turns
