lirik lagu the space race is over (demo) – billy bragg

when i was young i told my mum
going to walk on the moon someday
armstrong and aldrin spoke to me
from houston and cape kennedy
and i watched the eagle landing
on a night when the moon was full
and as it tugged at the tides, i knew deep inside
i too could feel its pull

i lay in my bed and dreamed i walked
on the sea of tranquillity
i knew that someday soon we’d all sail to the moon
on the high tide of technology
but the dreams had all been taken
and the window seats taken too
and 2001 has almost been and gone
what am i supposed to do?

now that the sp*ce race is over
it’s been and it’s gone and i’ll never get to the moon
now that the sp*ce race is over
and i can’t help but feel we’ve all grown up too soon

now my dreams have all been shattered
and my wings are tattered too
and i can still fly but not half as high
as once i wanted to
now that the sp*ce race is over
it’s been and it’s gone and i’ll never get to the moon
now that the sp*ce race is over
and i can’t help but feel we’ve all grown up too soon

now, my son, he sees the sky
with a great sense of wonder
i know that someday soon he’ll want to know
“tell me the truth, dad, why did they ever go?”
and it may look like some empty gesture
to go all that way just to come back
but don’t offer me a place out in cybersp*ce
’cause where in the h*ll’s that at?

now that the sp*ce race is over
it’s been and it’s gone and i’ll never get out of my room
’cause the sp*ce race is over
and i can’t help but feel we’re all just going nowhere
