Here are the lyrics to the three songs we are learning.

See if your parents have the songs or find them on the internet.

It would be wonderful if we all knew the words by the time the holiday is over.

Have a great break. See you all on 15th February.

Space Oddity by David Bowie

Ground Control to Major Tom

Ground Control to Major Tom

Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

Ground Control to Major Tom (Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six)

Commencing countdown engines on (Five, Four, Three)

Check ignition and may God’s love be with you (Two, One, Liftoff)

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

Clap, Clap

Though I’ve crossed 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 world

Planet Earth is blue

And there’s nothing I can do.

ROCKET MAN

She packed my bags last night pre flight

Zero hour nine a.m.

And I’m gonna be high, as a kite by then

I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife

It’s lonely out in space On such a timeless flight as this

And I think it’s gonna be a long long time Till touch down brings me round again to find I’m not the man they think I am at home Oh no, no, no, I’m a rocket man Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

And I think it’s gonna be a long long time Till touch down brings me round again to find I’m not the man they think I am at home Oh no, no, no, I’m a rocket man Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids In fact it’s cold as Hell And there’s no one there to raise them if you did And all this science, I don’t understand It’s just my job, five days a week A rocket man, a rocket man

And I think it’s gonna be a long long time Till touch down brings me round again to find I’m not the man they think I am at home Oh no, no, no, I’m a rocket man Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

And I think it’s gonna be a long long time Till touch down brings me round again to find I’m not the man they think I am at home Oh no, no, no, I’m a rocket man Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

Now, I think it’s gonna be a long long time And I think it’s gonna be a long long time And I think it’s gonna be a long long time And I think it’s gonna be a long long time

“Starman”

Didn’t know what time it was and the lights were low I leaned back on my radio Some cat was layin’ down some rock ‘n’ roll ‘lotta soul, he said Then the loud sound did seem to fade Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase That weren’t no D.J. that was hazy cosmic jive

[CHORUS] There’s a starman waiting in the sky

He’d like to come and meet us

But he thinks he’d blow our minds

There’s a starman waiting in the sky

He’s told us not to blow it

Cause he knows it’s all worthwhile

He told me: Let the children lose it

Let the children use it

Let all the children boogie

I had to phone someone so I picked on you Hey, that’s far out so you heard him too! Switch on the TV we may pick him up on channel two Look out your window I can see his light If we can sparkle he may land tonight Don’t tell your poppa or he’ll get us locked up in fright

[CHORUS (x2)] La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
