ZANG TUUMB TUM DISCOGRAPHY “…or the imagination”

Ashes to ashes


Do you remember a guy that’s been
In such an early song
I’ve heard a rumour from Ground Control
Oh no, don’t say it’s true

They got a message from the Action Man
“I’m happy, hope you’re happy too
I’ve loved all I’ve needed, love
Sordid details following”

The shrieking of nothing is killing, just
Pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I
I ain’t got no money and I ain’t got no hair
But I’m hoping to kick but the planet it’s glowing

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know that Major Tom’s a junkie
Strung out in heaven’s high
Hitting an all time low

Time and again I tell myself
I’ll stay clean tonight
But the little green men they’re following me
Oh no, not again

I’m stuck with a valuable friend
“I’m happy, hope you’re happy too”
One flash of light
But no smoking pistol

I never done good things
I never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue

Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know that Major Tom’s a junkie

Ashes to ashes
We know that Major Tom’s a junkie
Strung out in heaven’s high
Hitting an all time low

My mother said, to get things done
You’d better not mess with Major Tom

My mother said, to get things done
You’d better not mess with Major Tom

My mother said, to get things done
You’d better not mess with Major Tom
