“Not Christmas..... But one helluva doodad!




Recognize it?

Yep! That's exactly what it is.
”

“I used to watch Dark Shadows....but didn't recognize it!!

I love you stuff Tilt...LOL....

always so entertaining......thanks...”

“Can you imagine the Halloween vampire costume with that prop? Super Bad!

Now I just have to wait til it goes on sale.... for like 1/10 the price! For that much cash I could but TWO of those Lord of the Rings swords with a sizable chunk of change left over! <G>”

“Hey Tilt!

I've been trying to find a song...

"I wanted to be a space man
That's what I wanted to be
But now that I am a space man
Nobody cares about me..."

Or something like that. Do you know who sang it?”

“
Bang bang shoot-em-up destiny
Bang bang shoot-em-up to the moon
Bang bang shoot-em-up one-two-three
One two three four

I wanted to be a space man
That's what I wanted to be
But now that I am a space man
Nobody cares about me

Hey Mother Earth won't you bring me back down
Safely to the sea
But round and around and around and around
Is all she ever say to me

I wanted to make a good run
I wanted to go to the moon
I knew that it had to be fun
I told them to send me real soon

I wanted to be a space man
I wanted to be it so bad
But now that I am a space man
I'd rather to be back on the pad

Hey, Mother Earth, won't you bring me back down
Safely to the sea
Around and around and around and around
Is just a lot of lunacy

Round and around and around and around and around
So bring me back down
Round and around and around and around and around
Safe on the ground

Hey, Mother Earth, better bring me back down
Safely to the sea
But around and around and around and around
Is all she ever say to me

You know I wanted to be a space man
That's what I wanted to be
But now that I am a space man
Nobody cares about me

Say hey, Mother Earth, better bring me back down
I've taken just as much as I can
But round and around and around and around
Is the problem of the space man

Ahhhh



"Space Man"
by the infamous Harry Nilsson? <G>



Here's my favorite trick: when I'm looking for a song, doing a search on the title usually doesn't help at all... you'll just get a 'discography' or some simple list. But if you take the end of one line with the beginning of the next, (like "space man That's what I"), chances are good that you might turn up the whole thong.

er... thing, LOL


Now This is cool.... The person that had that also has the lyrics to:

daybreak everybodys_talkin jump_into_the_fire me_and_my_arrow pov_waltz son.of.schmilsson space_man think_about_your_troubles without_you



Sit beside the breakfast table
Think about your troubles
Pour yourself a cup of tea
And think about the bubbles

You can take your teardrops
And drop them in a teacup
Take them down to the riverside
And throw them over the side
To be swept up by a current
And taken to the ocean
To be eaten by some fishes
Who were eaten by some fishes
And swallowed by a whale
Who grew so old...
He decomposed...

He died and left his body
To the bottom of the ocean
Now everybody knows
That when a body decomposes
The basic elements
Are given back to the ocean

And the sea does what it oughta
And soon there's salty water
(That's not too good for drinking)
'Cause it tastes just like a teardrop
(So they run it through a filter)
And it comes out from a faucet
(And is poured into a teapot)
Which is just about to bubble... Now
Think about your troubles



wow.


More Wow.... The server is located at Sternberg Astronomical Institute (Moscow State University), so we can thank some Russian physicist for putting those lyrics up on the net!

“I kid you not! LOL”

“Yes that's it! thanks, I knew you'd find it.

I searched several sites for "space man" since I didn't know the title or the artist. I got fed up with the pop-ups. I'll have to try the "end of one line, beginning of the other" trick.
thanks!”

“Nothin' to it. YES - some of those sites turn into Pop-Up Hell in a hurry, LOL

I'm fairly familiar with Nilsson, but I didn't remember that one. "Think About Your Troubles" is an old favorite of mine.... from "The Point".”
