Sputnik
In my garden shed I've built my very own Sputnik
and I cant wait to send the bugger high into orbit
It's gonna send an SOS to alien life forms
and they'll take me away from types like Eamon Holmes
I hope they come before the CIA
or an orange boiler suit in Guantanamo Bay
cause in my garden shed I've built my very own Sputnik
And you thought I was tending to my prize begonias or building that cliché distillery
Soon I'll be light years away from here supping cocktails in the Mos Eisley Cantina
When my signal's picked up I'll be up, up and away
I just can't think of one good reason to stay
There's nothing sapient left down here
So when you get the next big bang I'm gonna be well clear
and if I ever get the urges to procreate
I'm gonna have to find an alien to be my mate
cause in my garden shed I've built my very own Sputnik
I've never so much as planted a Wall Flower and I've never had a taste for paint stripper spirits
Small minds think global but I think astral, astronauts will envy my Blue Danube Waltz
Take it away HAL.........
In my garden shed I've built my very own Sputnik
Gonna launch the bugger, escape and go cosmic
Gonna launch the bugger, escape and go cosmic
Take me far away from Eamon Holmes
and the most nauseating woman on the planet -Catherine Gee!
Got to launch the bugger escape and go cosmic
In my garden shed I've built my very own sputnik
and as I plan my escape with my new found friends and a life free from evil like the BBC
I pause for reflection and I know without doubt the only thing I'll miss is a nice cup of tea
