The Man Who Found God On The Moon / Mike McGear

THE MAN WHO FOUND GOD ON THE MOON

By Paul McCartney and Michael McCartney
As recorded by Mike McGear

THE MEN IN BALLOONS WERE FLOATING THROUGH SPACE,
GLIDING 'LONG MOTORWAYS, RUNNING A RACE.
SAILS IN THE SUNSET, FIREWORKS EXPLODE,
MOTOR-PLANES PLOUGHS THROUGH A NIGHT ON THE ROAD.

THINKING OF PEOPLE, PLACES I'VE BEEN,
FLASHBACK'S THE NAME OF A CHILD (oohooh) I HAD SEEN.

ANETTE WAS A CHILD OF GOD, LOVING FROM THE START,
SELLING LITTLE BOOKS FOR KRISHNA, FLOWERS 'ROUND HER HEART.

ANETTE MADE ME HAPPY, BABY, ANETTE MADE ME SMILE,
BROUGHT A BREATH OF TRUTH INTO THIS MAD WORLD FOR A WHILE.

THINKING OF PEOPLE AND PLACES I'VE BEEN,
FLASHBACK'S THE NAME OF A MAN (aahaah) I HAD SEEN.

THE MAN WHO FOUND GOD IN HIS SPACESUIT,
WAS THE MAN WHO FOUND GOD ON THE MOON.
YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN HIM FLIP, HE NEARLY LOST HIS GRIP,
IT WAS A TOTAL TRIP.

(Hey-hey-hey, hey-hey-hey)
(Hey-hey-hey, hey-hey-hey, hey-hey-hey)

IT WAS A SPIRITUAL AWAKENING, A LUNAR LANDSCAPE HAPPENING
ONCE IN THE LIFE OF THE MAN WHO FOUND GOD ON THE MOON.

YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN HIM FLIP, HE NEARLY LOST HIS GRIP,
IT WAS A TOTAL TRIP.

THE MEN IN BALLOONS WERE FLOATING THROUGH SPACE,
GLIDING 'LONG MOTORWAYS, RUNNING A RACE.
SAILS IN THE SUNSET, FIREWORKS EXPLODE,
MOTOR-PLANES PLOUGHS THROUGH A NIGHT ON THE ROAD.

THINKING OF PEOPLE AND PLACES I'VE BEEN,
FLASHBACK'S THE NAME OF A CHILD (oohooh) I HAD BEEN.

(Oh-oh-oh-oh)

(Alright now, go now, now!)

ANETTE MADE ME HAPPY, BABY, ANETTE MADE ME SMILE,
BROUGHT A BREATH OF TRUTH INTO THIS MAD WORLD FOR A WHILE.

ANETTE MADE ME HAPPY, BABY, ANETTE MADE ME SMILE,
BROUGHT A BREATH OF TRUTH INTO THIS MAD WORLD FOR A WHILE.

ANETTE MADE ME HAPPY, BABY, ANETTE MADE ME SMILE,
(So there you are then, quite a difference. Yes, the answer is...LP)
BROUGHT A BREATH OF TRUTH INTO THIS MAD WORLD FOR A WHILE.

ANETTE MADE ME HAPPY, BABY, ANETTE MADE ME SMILE,
BROUGHT A BREATH OF TRUTH INTO THIS MAD WORLD FOR A WHILE.

ANETTE MADE ME HAPPY, BABY, ANETTE MADE ME SMILE,
BROUGHT A BREATH OF...

I have LOVED this album for 37 years! I am ecstatic to be able to hear "The Man Who Found God on the Moon" again after losing the audio cassette eleven years ago. I'm with you, pflynn 5910. "Norton" would be awsome and so would "Givin' Grease a Ride""!

[laloisaac]

I'LL DO IT SOON

:D

[meyojimbo]

Woah this song meant a lot to me when it came out, thank you for sharing this, it is what, 36 years? seems like yesterday

[paulbrink6]

[beatlestoneful]

He sound's like a cross between paul&george!!HE'S very good .if id heard this back in the 70s i would have bought it!!

[MsBkirk]

Was it his(Mike's)daughter singing the 'hare krishna' bit?

[beatler11]

@Greenthigh I love Leave It too. Paul could have had a hit if he had recorded it for himself.

[beatler11]

i wore this lp out in 75...i still have it.

[inkey2]

not surprising you have never heard this....it is pretty obscure

I agree with most of the comments-this is a great song and I used to love this album back in the day. As far as I recall, this song was inspired by Buzz Aldrin who apparently underwent a spiritual experience on the moon.
