Ashes To Ashes Lyrics
Do you remember a guy that's been
In such an early song
I've heard a rumour from Ground Control
Oh no, don't say it's true
They got a message from the Action Man
Oh happy, hope you're happy too
I've loved all I've needed love
Sordid details following"
The shrieking of nothing is killing
Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and
I ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
And I'd quit but the planet it's glowing
Ashes to ashes, fun to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low
Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
I'm stuck with a valuable friend
Oh happy, hope you're happy too
One flash of light but no smoking pistol
I've never done good things
I've never done bad things
I've never done anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh
I want an axe to break the ice
I wanna come down right now
Ashes to ashes, fun to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low
My mama said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
My mama said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
My mama said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
My mama said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
In such an early song
I've heard a rumour from Ground Control
Oh no, don't say it's true
Oh happy, hope you're happy too
I've loved all I've needed love
Sordid details following"
Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and
I ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
And I'd quit but the planet it's glowing
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
I'm stuck with a valuable friend
Oh happy, hope you're happy too
One flash of light but no smoking pistol
I've never done bad things
I've never done anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh
I want an axe to break the ice
I wanna come down right now
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
You'd better not mess with Major Tom

A great cover for David Bowie's song... Can be found in the TFF album "Saturnine, Martial and Lunatic", which is a collection of rare and B-sides tracks of the band.
Roland: "The NME were putting together a compilation of various artists covering their favorite 'number ones' and asked us if we would care to contribute. When perusing the list, I was shocked how few I really cared for. In the end we plumped for this brilliant piece by Bowie and tried desperately to something original with it, eventually gave up and made a carbon copy - still it's better than blur's version of "Maggie May" (or is it?!!!!)." (from the CD booklet).
