andy partridge - rocket

Cape Canaveral Florida, ready for takeoff stages
Zoom destination an isolated planet Mars
On which observed many relics of past ages
On return despite rocks no spars

2nd destination world's largest planet Jupiter
From there obtained some ancient relics
When returned at base -- we want Hoopiter!
And we would like some fancy cow's milk

3rd destinations many ringed planet Saturn
While there darted among the rings
At base had a few thoughts of astral matter
Again at base a welcoming with sings

4th zoom destination to an isolated planet Neptune
Whose surface was clear of any vegetation
At base quote -- would like large dirigible balloon
During when there was no hesitation

5th zoom destination smallest planet Pluto
On which there are many beautiful sights
It has no vegetation you know
No power to illuminate dark nights.

shrew972 Thanks for uploading this .Recognise your name it must be from comin here all the time. Will spend a bit more time on your pages - you have got a hell of alot there, just quickly noticed the Lemon Trees Child of Love which I really liked when I was a teenage. I take it you do music, got any stuff?

[shrew972]

The Liarbirds are the "proper" band plus I'm...Poirot too :) Lots of songs of both in my channel here - You?

[eddiecousinsjr]

5/4 I think? Amazing track, yes genius. Amazing key solo, a real keyboard player would just not come with that.

What does he say in chorus - rocket boom rocket ahh??

love the sycopated organ rif after 1st chorus. I could go on but my wife is already sick of listening to this track. Bloody wished I wrote this track.! xxx

[shrew972]

7/8?

[RoseaNebulaLaeta]

Uranus was skipped! (I wonder why) Probably had to do with the ridiculousness of the English pronunciation its name which could either make the song more whimsical or very very awkward.

of course its 7/4, silly me! I will check your stuff out soon shrew972, thanks
