David Bowie - Space Oddity (Space Oddity)
Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may God's love be with you
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five,
Four, Three, 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
Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell me 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."

| My favourite version of this, is on David Live (at the Tower, Philadelphia), which was the live album from the Diamond Dogs tour. Incredible double-cd set!
Of course, I listened to it, on vinyl, in 1974.
This is sheer, bloody genius.
So was the Diamond Dogs album, particularly if one has actually read George Orwell's 1984. |

| This is off of Diamond Dogs, I consider it his best and most creative album.
It started off as a concept album about George Orwell's 1984, hence the songs 1984, We Are the Dead and Big Brother.
But he scrapped it and just kept those songs and added others. |

| I always thought Diamond Dogs was a far better album then 1984 was a book. Brave New World was a lot more of a future forecast and seems to be the less popular but more artfully portrayed book. Amazing song |

| ....Bowie's best song and best record....I don't believe that he didn't clean up the lyrics after cutting them up though.....It always reminds me of the last scene in1984, when Julia and Winston meet up in a park and are strangers to each other...but, I guess "We are the Dead" does that as well....G'luck.... |

| @kp9952 Dont forget Heroes, despite its Berlin influence (i still believe its about Julia and Winston) and the latter strangers when we meet...againt despite its mysogenistic undertone.
That said i fucking love the sax around 3.55....makes me think of dark dank wet days, a la the segue in TVC 15. |

| Definitely my favourite Bowie track ever, track on the album runs into rebel rebel - brilliant. Bowie at his best. Glam, metal, jazz pop and a bit of folk all in one. I have this on LP and CD but still have to listen to it on youtube as well!! Thanks for the pics as well! |

| 4:18 ....just when you think it couldn't get better...he's on creative fire 74-77 (and before and after, but that period is just off the scale) |
