NILSSON- "SPACEMAN"

BORN HARRY EDWARD NILSSON. CLOSE FRIEND OF JOHN LENNON AND RINGO STARR. THIS SONG WENT TO # 23 IN 1972. LYRICS: Bang, bang, shoot em' up, destiny
Bang, bang, shoot em' up to the moon
Bang, bang, shoot em' up one, two, three
(One, two, three, four!)

I wanted to be a spaceman
That's what I wanted to be
But now that I am a spaceman
Nobody cares about me

Hey mother earth
Won't 'cha bring me back down
Safely to the sea
But 'round and around and around and around
Is all she ever say to me

I wanted to make a good run
I wanted to go to the moon
I knew that it had to be fun
I told 'em to send me real soon
I wanted to be a spaceman
I wanted to be it so bad
But now that I am a spaceman
I'd rather be back on the pad

Hey mother earth
Won't 'cha bring me back down
Safely to the sea
But 'round and around and around and around
Is just a lot of lunacy
(Yeah!)
'Round and around and around and around and around
(So bring me back down)
'Round and around and around and around and around
Safe on the ground

Hey mother earth
Won't 'cha bring me back down
Safely to the sea
But 'round and around and around and around
Is all she ever say to me, yeah

You know I wanted to be a spaceman
That's what I wanted to be
But now that I am a spaceman
Nobody cares about me

Say, hey! You mother earth
You better bring me back down
I've taken just as much as I can
But around and around and around and around
Is the problem of a spaceman

(Ah's!)

I'd like to send the fucking ads that appear prior to these vids into space.

[Shan Ferguson]

Used to sit around in the basement as a kid and get stoned while listening to this wow what memories from the past.

[Alan Mercier]

He also had one called your breaking my heart, your tearing it apart so Fuck You!

[Alan Mercier]

I used to have this album..." Son Of Snilsson " I think it was called. Back in 72 I was like 14 I think. Wow What memories! Thanks man, never knew he was frinds of the Beatles......

It's the fact that the decision to view or listen to it is no longer mine to make. When listening to the radio or television a person can change the channel or get up and walk away. Not so with the ads appears at the start of the videos here. Another thing that irks me is the ads appearing in the upper right that automatically play over what the videos sometimes. If you don't mind 'em that's fine - you're welcome to mine as well ;)

But again, it's a free service. The amount of material I get to enjoy here -- at no cost to me -- is huge. Putting up with a little advertising that I can skip through after a couple of seconds seems like a small thing to endure. But you're entitled to your opinion.

[liquidgee13]

It's not a tiny inconvenience by any stretch of the imagination. There's already enough adds on the top and side panels of YouTube as it is. If I actually wanted to listen to an add on this site I'd type it in the search bar.

[53SteveJ]

Geez, liquidgee13, you have to wait a whole, what, eight seconds or so? You're getting this service for free except for that tiny inconvenience.

[Alan Noll]

Amen
