lyrics
like an astronaut blinded by a 100 watt sun
i went for the cheap shot, i done gone went and forgot
trying to be something i’m not, and hold up! i lost the plot
see i was floating on that moonshot, drawing on
that beauty spot every night cuz i thought that i ought
surprise! it ain’t diddly squat
just left me holed up in a parking lot
alone and super bloodshot, the kettle calling the pot
what?
only silence. tongue tied up in knots
then in that dry rot i heard
the flash of a dash and a dot
an S-O-S, yes, singing
back to me from a previous Camelot:
“come home, astronaut”
now the world’s not blue, it’s cobalt, it’s not beige, it’s apricot
i’m so cool i’m white hot
i write to a beat and a bass and an emotional snapshot
an infinite galaxy caught right here for your ears
in this big bang of a thought
the lesson isn’t what we’ve been taught
the work is to learn to want what i’ve got
so here i come down to earth here i come
i know what i’m worth
a mother-fucking jackpot
this here is my landing spot
i went for the cheap shot, i done gone went and forgot
trying to be something i’m not, and hold up! i lost the plot
see i was floating on that moonshot, drawing on
that beauty spot every night cuz i thought that i ought
surprise! it ain’t diddly squat
just left me holed up in a parking lot
alone and super bloodshot, the kettle calling the pot
what?
only silence. tongue tied up in knots
then in that dry rot i heard
the flash of a dash and a dot
an S-O-S, yes, singing
back to me from a previous Camelot:
“come home, astronaut”
now the world’s not blue, it’s cobalt, it’s not beige, it’s apricot
i’m so cool i’m white hot
i write to a beat and a bass and an emotional snapshot
an infinite galaxy caught right here for your ears
in this big bang of a thought
the lesson isn’t what we’ve been taught
the work is to learn to want what i’ve got
so here i come down to earth here i come
i know what i’m worth
a mother-fucking jackpot
this here is my landing spot

Cried happy tears on the first listen. So many amazing lines. So many great musical choices. Can’t wait to hear these songs live when TMG return to the UK. The pirate’s life for me.
