I Am an Astronaut Lyrics

i am an astronaut
i am an astronaut
daddy is away and mum's asleep
and i am an astronaut

i am a polar bear
i am a polar bear
i'm anything i want to be
when nobody else is there

like a gorilla, he's a real killer yeah
he's a real gunman
yeah that's what i am

i am an astronaut
i am an astronaut
daddy is away and mum's asleep
and i am an astronaut

i'm up among the stars
i'm up among the stars
i'm in a super time machine
and i'm on my way to mars

like a gorilla, he's a real killer yeah
he's a real gunman
yeah that's what i am

like a gorilla, he's a real killer yeah
he's a real gunman
yeah that's what i am

i am an astronaut
i am an astronaut
daddy is away and mum's asleep
and i am an astronaut

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Class childlike lyric - should it not read "He's a real gone man" rather than "gunman" though?

I thought about that, but i think "gunman" makes more sense with "real killer".

do you know where i can get this song?

by oesler 17y ago

it's off a charity kids album called 'Colours Are Brighter'; it's quite expensive to get a copy, but it is well worth it. You can get it off Amazon etc, there's also an official website for the album!
