I always flirt with death
I could kill, but I don't care about it
I can face your threats
And stand up straight and tall and shout about it

I think I'm on another world with you, with you
I'm on another planet with you, with you

You get under my skin
I don't find it irritating
You always play to win
But I won't need rehabilitating, oh no

I think I'm on another world with you, with you
I'm on another planet with you, with you

Another girl, another planet
Another girl, another planet

Space travels in my blood
There ain't nothing I can do about it
Long journeys wear me out
But I know I can't live without it, oh no

I think I'm on another world with you, with you
I'm on another planet with you, with you

Another girl is loving you now
Another planet, is holding you down
Another planet

    Grammatically correct is "Space travel's" but apart from that the lyrics are accurate. Blink 182, The Replacements, REM, The Cure, The Libertines etc. all had their own variations of the text. Check out Wikipedia's entry for this song. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Another_Girl,_Another_Planet

    I first heard this song about fifteen years ago, and I've only just realised it's a love song to heroin. Once you see it, it's so obvious: 'i look ill', 'you get under my skin', 'i won't need rehabilitating' [i.e. rehab], 'space travel's in my blood', 'I can't live without it'.

    I should have guessed as soon as Pete Doherty started hanging out with Peter Perrett and saying how amazing he was.

    To me this song is saying that every girl is different and to move on to someone new is to like go to a different planet. Nothing is the same

    i used this song for a philosophy assignment and it could also be compared to the theory of forms, aka when hes with this girl/drug (lol) he feels so perfect, as if he is actually experiencing the perfect version of it, taken from the hypothetical imperfect world-- which can be an allusion for another planet.
