Jonathan King Everyone's Gone To The Moon

Streets full of people, all alone
Roads full of houses never home
Church full of singing out of tune
Everyone's gone to the moon

Eyes full of sorrow, never wet
Hands full of money, all in debt
Sun coming out in the middle of June
Everyone's gone to the moon

Long time ago
Life had begun
Everyone went to the sun

Hearts full of motors painted green
Mouths full of chocolate-covered cream
Arms that can only lift a spoon
Everyone's gone to the moon

Everyone's gone to the moon
Everyone's gone to the moon

So does this prove we definately went to the moon in 69 then ?

On long time ago I realized that the only way this song makes any sense is as an inside trade joke. I am sorry that breaks the spell of all that faux symbolism, but that is what was needed to pull it off in the 60's. Imagine a backroom scene: A: 'It used to be so easy to write a hit, all you had to do is rhyme June, Moon and Spoon and Voila! A Hit.' B: 'Still works' A: 'Sure ... what to you want to bet on it' B: (wager of your choice here) A: 'You're on!' .... 'A' lost the wager as we see.

@Mrveendam  Yes the song came out in Dec 1965 (in the L.A. area, anyway)

So soothing, so beautiful....so I'm so nostalgic....

[BOON601]

I love this song, reminds me of when i was a child, sad how he ended up,

[whyme12382]

This pervert should have been hanged and if he had done what he had done to one of my sons I would have hanged him myself.
