CULTURE CLUB - Starman lyrics

rate me

Didn't know what time it was and the lights were low<br>I leaned back on my radio<br>Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll 'lotta soul, he said<br>Then the loud sound did seem to fade<br>Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase<br>That weren't no dj, that was hazy cosmic jive<br><br>There's a starman waiting in the sky<br>He'd like to come and meet us<br>But he thinks he'd blow our minds<br>There's a starman waiting in the sky<br>He's told us not to blow it<br>Cause he knows it's all worthwhile<br><br>He told me -<br>Let the children lose it<br>Let the children use it<br>Let all the children boogie<br><br>I had to phone someone so I picked on you<br>Hey, that's far out so you heard him too!<br>Switch on the tv we may pick him up on channel two<br>Look out your window I can see the light<br>If we can sparkle he may land tonight<br>Don't tell your papa or he'll get us locked up in fright<br><br>There's a starman waiting in the sky<br>He'd like to come and meet us<br>But he thinks he'd blow our minds<br>There's a starman waiting in the sky<br>He's told us not to blow it<br>Cause he knows it's all worthwhile<br><br>He told me -<br>Let the children lose it<br>Let the children use it<br>Let all the children boogie<br><br>Starman waiting in the sky<br>He'd like to come and meet us<br>But he thinks he'd blow our minds<br>There's a starman waiting in the sky<br>He's told us not to blow it<br>Cause he knows it's all worthwhile<br><br>He told me -<br>Let the children lose it<br>Let the children use it<br>Let all the children boogie<br><br>La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la-la (repeat until end)<br><br>Culture club faithfully covered this david bowie hit (it reached no.10 in the uk and no.65 in the us in july 1972) on their '98 re-wind tour so well that it has become a fixture at culture club concerts, got a joint a-side single with cold shoulder and also features on the new album, don't mind if I do.
