Friends, it is of vital importance that you purchase, listen to, and appreciate all the records ever made by the group known as God is an Astronaut. I tell you this for your own good. ^_^
With a face like this I won’t break any hearts,
and thinking like that won’t make any friends.
Screw that, forget about that,
I don’t wanna think about anything like that.
Screw that, forget about that,
I don’t wanna know about anything like that.
I’ve got nothing to do,
but hang around and get screwed up on you.
I’ve got nothing to do,
but hang around and get screwed up on you.
Your beauty makes me feel alone,
I look inside but no ones home.
Screw that, forget about that,
I don’t wanna think about anything like that.

Still remains one of my favourite ever songs, even after 15 years it’s still class.
Travelling in a fried-out combie,
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie.
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous,
She took me in and gave me breakfast.
And she said;
“Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover.”
Buying bread from a man in Brussels,
He was six foot four and full of muscle.
I said, “Do you speak-a my language?”
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said;
“I come from a land down under,
Where beer does flow and men chunder.
Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover. Yeahhh!”
Dying in a den in Bombay,
With a slack jaw, and not much to say.
I said to the man, “Are you trying to tempt me,
Because I come from the land of plenty?”
And he said,
“Oh, you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder? (ooohh)
You better run, you better take cover.”
Yes we are…
Livin’ in a land down under,
Where women glow and men plunder, (yeahhhhhhhhhh)
Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder? (thunderrrrr!)
You better run, you better take cover.
Livin’ in a land down under,
Where women glow and men plunder,
Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder? (oooo yeahhhh!)
Then I run, and then I take cover. (yea)
We are…
Livin’ in a land down under, (underrrr)
Where women glow and men plunder,
Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder? (oooo da da laa yeahhh!)
Then I run, then I take cover.
You love it ^_^
I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars
No handlebars
I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars
No handlebars
Look at me, look at me
hands in the air like it’s good to be
ALIVE
and I’m a famous rapper
even when the paths’re all crookedy
I can show you how to do-si-do
I can show you how to scratch a record
I can take apart the remote control
And I can almost put it back together
I can tie a knot in a cherry stem
I can tell you about Leif Ericson
I know all the words to “De Colores”
And “I’m Proud to be an American”
Me and my friend saw a platypus
Me and my friend made a comic book
And guess how long it took
I can do anything that I want cuz, look:
I can keep rhythm with no metronome
No metronome
No metronome
And I can see your face on the telephone
On the telephone
On the telephone
Look at me
Look at me
Just called to say that it’s good to be
ALIVE
In such a small world
I’m all curled up with a book to read
I can make money open up a thrift store
I can make a living off a magazine
I can design an engine
Sixty four miles to a gallon of gasoline
I can make new antibiotics
I can make computers survive aquatic conditions
I know how to run a business
I can make you wanna buy a product
Movers shakers and producers
Me and my friends understand the future
I see the strings that control the systems
I can do anything with no assistance
Cuz I can lead a nation with a microphone
With a microphone
With a microphone
And I can split the atoms of a molecule
Of a molecule
Of a molecule
Look at me
Look at me
Driving and I won’t stop
And it feels so good to be
Alive and on top
My reach is global
My tower secure
My cause is noble
My power is pure
I can hand out a million vaccinations
Or let’em all die from exasperation
Have’em all healed from their lacerations
Have’em all killed by assassination
I can make anybody go to prison
Just because I don’t like’em and
I can do anything with no permission
I have it all under my command
Because I can guide a missile by satellite
By satellite
By satellite
And I can hit a target through a telescope
Through a telescope
Through a telescope
And I can end the planet in a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars
No handlebars
I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars
No handlebars
I was alone, falling free,
Trying my best not to forget.
What happened to us?
What happened to me?
What happened as I let it slip?
I was confused by the powers that be,
Forgetting names and faces.
Passers-by were looking at me
As if they could erase it.
Baby; did you forget to take your meds?
Baby; did you forget to take your meds?
I was alone, staring over the ledge,
Trying my best not to forget.
All manner of joy,
All manner of glee,
And our one heroic pledge.
How it mattered to us,
How it mattered to me,
And the consequences.
I was confused
By the birds and the bees,
Forgetting if I meant it.
Baby; did you forget to take your meds?
Baby; did you forget to take your meds?
Baby; did you forget to take your meds?
Baby; did you forget to take your meds?
And the Sex and the drugs and the complications.
And the Sex and the drugs and the complications.
And the Sex and the drugs and the complications.
And the Sex and the drugs and the complications.
Baby; did you forget to take your meds?
Baby; did you forget to take your meds?
Baby; did you forget to take your meds?
Baby; did you forget to take your meds?
Baby; did you forget to take your meds?
Baby; did you forget to take your meds?
I was alone, falling free,
Trying my best not to forget.
Songs when they’re truth,
Are all dedicated to you,
In this invisible world I choose to live in.
And if you believe that, that now I understand,
Why words mean so much to you,
They’ll never be about you.
Maybe you’re young without youth,
Or maybe you’re old without knowing anything’s true,
I think your young without youth.
Then you contract the American dream,
You’ll never look up once,
You’ve contracted American dreams,
I require you to stop and look up.
Sing a song about myself,
Keep singing a song about myself,
Not some invisible world.
Constantly searching to find something new,
But what will you find when you think that nothings true?
Maybe it’s that nothing is new,
So you let me hear songs that were written all about you,
The good songs weren’t written for you,
They’ll never be about you.
Then you contract the American dream,
You’ll never look up once,
You’ve contracted American dreams,
You’ll never look up once,
Don’t look up.
Sing a song about myself,
Keep singing a song about myself,
Not some invisible world.
Sing a song about myself,
Keep singing a song about myself,
Not some invisible world.
And I won’t tell you what this means,
‘Cos you already know,
And I won’t tell you what this means,
‘Cos you already know.
So sing a song about myself,
Keep singing a song about myself,
Not some invisible world.
Sing a song about myself,
Keep singing a song about myself,
Not some invisible world.
Sing a song about myself,
Keep singing a song about myself,
Not some invisible world.
You’ll find what you find,
When you find there’s nothing.
You’ll find what you find,
When you find there’s nothing.

The jester hops on the leg of time,
The scourge of the wizard nation.
Magical chanting is no crime,
When you’re suckled by a blind Alsatian.
Who stole the leg of time?
Seen through the eyes of Murgar’s kestrel.
Where’s the tiny mouse? There it is
Ah ha ha
Ah ha ha
Ride a white pig to the edge of Lapland.
Why did I do that?
Why did I do that?
I don’t know.
Who stole the leg of time?
When time had one leg it couldn’t march.
It stopped.
It hopped.
Who stole the leg of time?
Was it the wizards? No
Was it the goblins? No
Was it the elves? No
Was it the dwarves? Nooo
Was it the kestrels? No
Was it the satyrs? No
Was it the brain police? What?
Was it the man with the key to the door of reality,
Underneath the mat of insignificance? Nope
Well, who was it then?
Was it the terrorists? No
Was it the pterodactyls? No
It was Terry!
Terry!
Terry stole the leg of time
Cockney Medley!
Oh Terry you slag you nicked the leg of time
Give it back before you get a slap.
Take it down the dog and duck and leave it behind the bar
Or you’ll get a slap sunshine
Don’t give me no rabbit!
Leave it behind the bar
Get off me sister
Leave it behind the bar
Give me half a pound
Leave it behind the bar…
Who stole the leg of time?
Terry stole the leg of time.
