Artist: Spacehog Album: Resident Alien {1995}

And in the end we shall achieve in time the thing they call divine
When all the stars will smile for me
When all is well and well is all for all and forever after
Maybe in the meantime wait and see

We love the all the all of you
Where lands are green and skies are blue
When all in all we're just like you
We love the all of you

And when I cry for me I cry for you with tears of holy joy
For all the days you've still to come
And did I ever say I'd never play or fly toward the sun
Maybe in the meantime, something's gone

We love the all the all of you
Where lands are green and skies are blue
When all in all we're just like you
We love the all of you

That sounds fine, so I'll see you sometime
Give my love to the future of the humankind
Okay, okay, it's not okay
While it's on my mind there's a girl that fits the crime
For a future love dream I'm still to find
But in the meantime

We love the all the all of you
Where lands are green and skies are blue
When all in all we're just like you
We love the all of you
We love the all the all of you
Where lands are green and skies are blue
When all in all we're just like you
We love the all of you
We love the all the all of you
Lands are green and skies are blue
We're just like you, we're just like you
We're just like, we're just like, just like you
We're just like you, we're just like you
We're just like, we're just like, just like you

Well, I'm standing on the launch pad looking at the stars
I'm waiting for the countdown to begin
I'm not sure where I'm going
No, I've no way of knowing
But when the signal comes
It's five, four, three, two, one
Baby, I'm a spacehog, a spacehog, a spacehog, a spacehog

Well, now I see the moon, we got here oh, so soon
The earth looks very different from up here
I'm picking up strange signals
I hope I'll be okay
Just when the signal comes
It's five, four, three, two, one
Baby, I'm a spacehog, a spacehog, a spacehog, a spacehog
Here we go now

Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
I'm a spacehog, I'm a spacehog, yeah, I'm a spacehog, I'm a spacehog
Well, I'm a spacehog - yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Like when you fall from the sky
And see the world from the side
Love always gets in the way
Just like in Hutch and Starsky

I'd like to leave without a trace
Blow you all to outer space
See you later, now I'm gone
So long, I'll see you when I'm
Starside - tell me when I'm home
Starside - tell me when I'm home

See how we'll fall like a child
Watch them collide
Love always gets in the way
Just like in Hutch and Starsky

I'd like to leave without a trace
Press record and then erase
See you later, now I'm gone
So long, I'll see you when I'm
Starside - tell me when I'm home
Starside - tell me when I'm home
Tell me when I'm home

Starside - tell me when I'm home
Starside - tell me when I'm home
Tell me when I'm
Starside - tell me when I'm home

The candyman took it
Whoa, look out

Oh, hear my prayer you people please
Incline your tiny minds to me
It's time to kiss the candyman
It's high time you were here instead of fighting
I don't want to fight
But if by chance the cold wind blows
I've got the drugs to keep it up
Well, I know which way the money goes
Up and down the city road
In and out we reap and sow
Rewards I've lost and never known
Which way the money goes

Candyman, candyman, candyman - the candyman took it
Candyman, candyman, candyman
The money go round

So, up and down the city roads
In and out we'll reap and sow
The rewards I've lost and never known
Which way the money grows
Money grows on money trees
Pay the price for liberties and then
All we've lost is all we need
To feed these wilting seedlings
There's more than stones and sticks at stake
If you pull a rope tight it will create
Tension like a brick will break
If thrown against the road

Candyman, candyman, candyman - the candyman took it
Candyman, candyman, candyman
Candyman, candyman, candyman - the candyman took it
Candyman, candyman, candyman, whoa, yeah

Now the air is stinking breath
Like those who piss on thirsty men
I'll raise my glass to all of them
In come the assholes who smell the money
As they chase the blood and flesh as though they
Only ever had enough to keep their withered spirits up
There's more than stones and sticks at stake
You pull a rope tight it will create
Tension like a brick will break
If thrown against the road

Candyman, candyman, candyman - the candyman took it
Candyman, candyman, candyman
Candyman, candyman, candyman - the candyman took it
Candyman, candyman, candyman
Candyman, candyman, candyman - the candyman took it
Candyman, candyman, candyman
Candyman, candyman, candyman - the candyman took it
Candyman, candyman, candyman
Candyman, candyman, candyman - the candyman took it
Candyman, candyman, candyman
Candyman, candyman, candyman - the candyman took it
Candyman, candyman, candyman


Good afternoon and welcome
Today we celebrate the songs of two of my head parishoners - Royston and Antony Langdon
In this song, they deal candidly with themes of brotherly love and homosexuality
Turn now to page number three hundred and seventy-two, Space Is The Place

And when you kiss your other lover
Well I will try to understand
And just because you're fucking him it doesn't mean you don't love me
I do what you want, be what you want to be

Space is the place where I will go when I am all alone and
When nobody calls me on the phone and I am all alone and
I'm meditating in the zone, all alone and
Space is the place where I will go

And just because you kissed your brother
It doesn't mean to say you're gay
Cos even when you're fucking him it doesn't mean you don't love me
I do what you want, be what you want to be

Space is the place where I will go when I am all alone and
When nobody calls me on the phone and I am all alone and
I'm meditating in the zone, all alone and
Space is the place where I will go

Space is the place where I will go when I am all alone and
When nobody calls me on the phone and I am all alone and
I'm meditating in the zone, all alone and
Space is the place where I will go

Space is the place in your face
Space is the place in your face
Space is the place in your face
Space is the place in your face
Space is the place

Look, the red lights on here in the studio, all right
Okay - a bit of respect
One, two, three, four


We are never coming down
I got up, can't get down
It's like when you get to the start of the day
The start of the day go run, run away

We're still never coming down
The hair of a dog in the face of a clown
It's like when you get to the start of a day
The start of a day go run, run away

Well, I done my time in the jail of your mind
Well, I dug all I could for the good of your kind
Oh, they say it's better to be twisted black and blue
Chopped down like an old wooden tree and planted new
Than it is to spend a lifetime in the jail of your mind

But you don't have to be cruel to be kind
And you don't have to be a fool to be blind
And you don't have to be a down and out to be down sometimes

Well, your dreams were full of dreams like leaves in the wind
Scattered to the edges of the world and then back again
Whoa, there's more to me than you can see from here, my friends
Here there are no why's so must you pretend
I hear my critic's laugh, he's my only friend

And you don't have to be cruel to be kind
And you don't have to be a fool to be blind
And you don't have to be a down and out to be down sometime

And now that I'm free from the jail of your mind
And I feel rather tied, like a crying child
I wanted to be better than the rest
New kind of man, lot more than blood and flesh
But now I'm left on my own in the jail of my mind

And you don't have to be cruel to be kind
And you don't have to be a fool to be blind
And you don't have to be a down and out to be down sometimes
And you don't have to be cruel to be kind
And you don't have to be a fool to be blind
And you don't have to be a down and out to be down sometimes

I wonder as I wandered
Do you wonder me
I always sit, think of you
And smile in memory

So, if you raise a glass to love you've passed
Won't you raise a glass to me
Cos I'm as lonely as a sailor
Shipwrecked on the sea

I always thought the captain's wife
She's the one for me
She may not be a painting
But she's the one for me

So, if you raise a glass to love you've passed
Won't you raise a glass to me
Cos I'm as lonely as a sailor
Shipwrecked on the sea

As the stars fly by me
And as the ocean, it binds me
Well, I'm as lonely as a sailor
Shipwrecked on the sea 

So, if you raise a glass to love you've passed
Won't you raise a glass to me
Cos I'm as lonely as a sailor
Shipwrecked on the sea

I can't decide why all of my confidence
Is left high and dry, all over and out
Truth should be known, for all of it's consequence
Hangs in the balance and shadows my doubt

There's only a few like you
There's only one I to compromise
There's only a few who do
And big boys don't cry

So take me along, away from this loneliness
Facing the shadows and hiding the lights
Truth should be known, without which I'm all alone
Lost between this world and hiding from life

Ooh, there's only a few like you
There's only one I to compromise
There's only a few who do
And big boys don't cry
Oh, and she loves me

And when I get there I will find you
And when I get there I will find you
And when I get there I will find you
And when I get there I will find

I can't take the truth from all the lies we've laid
I never caught that perfect light or saw those sunset rays
So burn the new-age magazines, you preachers and the past
You widowed wives of instigators, I want to be the last

I am the last dictator - you saw the son today
I am the last dictator - you wanted me this way

I can't take the truth and all those other games
Like Caesar and his Christians, the lions never waned
A clever turn of phrase like, "Belsen was a gas."
I want to see my future first, I want be the last

I am the last dictator - you saw the son today
I am the last dictator - you wanted me this way

I am the last dictator - you saw the son today
I am the last dictator - you wanted me this way
I am the last dictator - you saw the son today
I am the last dictator - you wanted me this way

Spacehog, spacehog, spacehog, spacehog

We are never coming down
I got up, can't get down
It's like when you get to the start of the day
The start of the day go run, run away

We're still never coming down
The hair of a dog in the face of a clown
It's like when you get to the start of a day
The start of a day go run, run away

Spacehog, spacehog, spacehog

The moral of the story lies
Behind the holes that pass for eyes
Between the cracks, shallow lives
Let the candyman decide

And when you're older, just remember
It's not so long since you was younger
Roll around, you're always high
Always look but you never find

Everybody in the world is bent

Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero
Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero
Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero

Please excuse me, I meant no harm in being born
As the world falls open wide and like a wounded solider falls
Breaks backs in silence, don't fall around me this time
Don't fall around me this time

My lost awakenings, I've found the same as life before
When after me another lonely wounded solider falls
Like lights fantastic that falls upon my shoulder, fall
Don't fall upon my shoulder, fall

She gave me a call, so I gave her a smile
When I asked her for love, what I should dial
She said, "Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero."
Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero
Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero - zero, zero, zero, zero, zero

Please excuse me, I meant no harm in being born
As the world falls open wide and like a wounded solider falls
Breaks backs in silence, don't fall around me this time
Don't fall around me this time

She gave me a call, so I gave her a smile
When I asked her for love, what I should dial
She said, "Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero."
Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero
Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero
Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero

She said, "Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero."
Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero
Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero - zero, zero, zero, zero, zero
Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero - zero, zero, zero, zero, zero
Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero - zero, zero, zero, zero, zero
Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero - zero, zero, zero, zero, zero
Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero - zero, zero, zero, zero, zero
Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero - zero, zero, zero, zero, zero
Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero - zero, zero, zero, zero, zero
Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero - zero, zero, zero, zero, zero
Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero - zero, zero, zero, zero, zero
Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero - zero, zero, zero, zero, zero
Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero - zero, zero, zero, zero, zero

Shot his mother down
With a gun that he had found
He dragged her by the hair
And he sat her in a chair

He knew that he was wrong
Now all his friends are gone
But Terry's only care
Was to be a millionaire

At school he played the fool
And on linoleum he ruled
The other children stared
But he would kick and pull their hair

He knew that he was wrong
Now all his friends are gone
But Terry's only care
Was to be a millionaire

Remember Terry's song
And your future won't be long
You happy where you are
Or as lonely as a star

But to remember Terry's song
Your future will be long
You happpy where you are
Or as lonely as a star
Happy where you are
Or as lonely as a star
Terry's only care
Was to be a millionaire
