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 to love
Sordid details following"

The shrieking of nothing is killing
Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and 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

CHORUS
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know 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 wheels are 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, woh-o-oh
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now

CHORUS

REPEAT
My mother said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom

  • Actually, I think this is my favorite version.

  • Man, I was so ready to hate on this considering how much I love Bowie's version, but have to admit it was good. Damn good.

  • never heard it before,surprising,sounds like the end of the seventees beginning 80-ies

  • you can get this on the sneakerpimps fansite - 'the mix you miss' tapes

  • Outstanding.

  • I really love this version--thanks for posting! The sort-of 8-bit quality to it is just amazing.
