lyrics
I’m going to let you decide if I am over qualified
so let me tell you all the things that I can do.
I got arithmetic, can read and write
I’m ready to take off tonight
and I’m not scared of heights and I’ve been up in a balloon.
I learned to swim, it took me years
and shows that I can persevere
need to keep my head down so the butterfly has grace,
and I am cool when things hot, jealous ones might say I’m not
but no one from this town ever made it into space
And I can’t get over you, I want to turn the red planet blue.
I can’t get over you, I want to turn the red planet blue.
I’m fancy free, a rolling stone and used to being on my own
and want to be waking where for once I’m heaven sent.
This makes me feel like Major Tom, i’ll find out where my shirts are from
and what should I be taking my friend Kevin has a tent.
I speak French, Italian, “scusi, oui cest combien”
I can hear a pin drop and I think I’ve seen the light.
I’ve seen love and I’ve seen hate, things you couldn’t contemplate
from inside the chip shop in the middle of the night.
And I can’t get over you, I want to turn the red planet blue
and I can’t get over you, I want to turn the red planet blue.
A one way ticket out of town, push came to shove.
I see the stars are falling down from the heavens above.
I thought I’d give it one more try and I’m awaiting your reply.
Do I need a jumper? What time do we arrive?
Now I believe you know it all, pick up the phone give me a call,
you know the number it’s at the top of letter five.
I can’t get over you, I want to turn the red planet blue.
I can’t get over you, I want to turn the red planet blue.
I can’t get over you, I want to turn the red planet blue.
so let me tell you all the things that I can do.
I got arithmetic, can read and write
I’m ready to take off tonight
and I’m not scared of heights and I’ve been up in a balloon.
I learned to swim, it took me years
and shows that I can persevere
need to keep my head down so the butterfly has grace,
and I am cool when things hot, jealous ones might say I’m not
but no one from this town ever made it into space
And I can’t get over you, I want to turn the red planet blue.
I can’t get over you, I want to turn the red planet blue.
I’m fancy free, a rolling stone and used to being on my own
and want to be waking where for once I’m heaven sent.
This makes me feel like Major Tom, i’ll find out where my shirts are from

And I can’t get over you, I want to turn the red planet blue
and I can’t get over you, I want to turn the red planet blue.

I can’t get over you, I want to turn the red planet blue.
