Space Oddity (Clareville Grove demo) Songtext
von David Bowie with John ‘Hutch’ Hutchinson

This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You′ve really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
"This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I′m stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way And the stars look very different today
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do


Though I′m past one hundred thousand miles
I′m feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much she knows
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there′s something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you "Here am I floating 'round my tin can
Far above the moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there′s nothing I can do"
