Astronaut Lyrics by Just Jack

All Night Cinema

0

Living in a bedsit
Close to the world's end
Sitting in his 'Y' fronts
Sponging off his girlfriend, Carrie
She says "Life's right there babe, should be getting on with it"
Had a bit of talent, now you've all but squandered it
It's silly

And his relatives all think it's a shame
A Shame
And they'd say it was 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
Looking down on Hampton Court
But he's always late
And knows one day he'll graduate
And he'll be floating in the ozone
High above the Empire
High above the Empire
State State State
He's living in a
State State State
He's in a proper
State State State
They've got him in a
State State State

Sofa surfer, likes a little gamble
A few dodgy debts that he says he can handle
Maybe
Never not brassic
Stays in most night
Jostling to pixelated princesses on websites
Frantically

And his family all say it's a waste
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
Looking down on Hampton Court
But he's always late
And knows one day he'll graduate
And he'll be floating in the ozone
High above the Empire
High above the Empire

Carrie's love is cold and congealed
Like last night's take-away
She feels 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
Heroes face

He's been a space cadet for years
Says one day he'll be an astronaut
Floating in the hemisphere
Looking down on Hampton Court
But he's always late
And knows one day he'll graduate
And 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 supposed to happen man before the fade out

Now life goes on
It will be played out
But something's supposed to happen man before the fade out

Now life goes on
It will be played out
But something's supposed to happen man before the fade out
Before the fade out
Before the fade out
Before the fade out
Before the fade out
Before the fade out
