1. Spaceman – Harry Nilsson Bang! Bang! Shoot em' up, destiny Bang! Bang! Shoot em' up to the moon Bang! Bang! Shoot em' up one, two, three One, two, three, four

I wanted to be a spaceman That's what I wanted to be But now that I am a spaceman Nobody cares about me

Hey, Mother Earth Won't ya bring me back down Safely to the sea? But 'round and around and around and around Is all she ever say to me

I wanted to make a good run I wanted to go to the moon I knew that it had to be fun I told 'em to send me real soon

I wanted to be a spaceman I wanted to be it so bad But now that I am a spaceman I'd rather be back on the pad

Hey, Mother Earth Won't ya bring me back down Safely to the sea? Around and around and around and around Is just a lot of lunacy

'Round and around and around and around and around (So bring me back down) 'Round and around and around and around and around

Safe on the ground

Hey, Mother Earth Better bring me back down Safely to the sea But 'round and around and around and around Is all she ever say to me, yeah

You know I wanted to be a spaceman That's what I wanted to be But now that I am a spaceman Nobody cares about me

Say, hey! You, Mother Earth You better bring me back down I've taken just as much as I can But 'round and around and around and around Is the problem of a spaceman

2. Life on Mars – It's a God-awful small affair To the girl with the mousy hair But her mummy is yelling, "No" And her daddy has told her to go

But her friend is nowhere to be seen Now she walks through her sunken dream To the seat with the clearest view And she's hooked to the silver screen

But the film is a saddening bore For she's lived it ten times or more She could spit in the eyes of fools As they ask her to focus on

Sailors fighting in the dance hall Oh man, look at those cavemen go It's the freakiest show Take a look at the lawman Beating up the wrong guy Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know He's in the best selling show Is there life on Mars?

It's on America's tortured brow That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow Now the workers have struck for fame 'Cause Lennon's on sale again

See the mice in their million hordes From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads Rule Britannia is out of bounds To my mother, my dog, and clowns

But the film is a saddening bore 'Cause I wrote it ten times or more It's about to be writ again As I ask you to focus on

Sailors fighting in the dance hall Oh man, look at those cavemen go It's the freakiest show Take a look at the lawman Beating up the wrong guy Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know He's in the best selling show Is there life on Mars?

3. ROCKET MAN -

She packed my bags last night pre-flight Zero hour nine AM And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then

I miss the earth so much I miss my wife It's lonely out in space On such a timeless flight

[chorus] And I think it's gonna be a long long time 'Till touch down brings me round again to find I'm not the man they think I am at home Oh no no no I'm a rocket man Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone (repeat x1)

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids In fact it's cold as hell And there's no one there to raise them if you did And all this science I don't understand It's just my job five days a week A rocket man, a rocket man

[chorus] x2

And I think it's gonna be a long long time (repeat x7)

4. Southern Cross - CSN ooo, ooo ooo, ooo

Got out of town on a boat goin' to Southern Islands Sailing a reach before a followin' sea She was makin' for the trades on the outside And the downhill run to Pape’ete

Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas We got eighty feet of the waterline nicely making way In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away

Think about Think about how many times I have fallen Spirits are using me, larger voices callin' What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten

Been around the world (I have been around the world) Lookin' (lookin' for that woman girl) Who knows she knows (who knows love can endure) And you know it will

When you see the Southern Cross for the first time You understand now why you came this way 'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small But it's as big as the promise, the promise of a comin' day

So I'm sailing for tomorrow my dreams are a-dyin' And my love is an anchor tied to you tied with a silver chain I have my ship and all her flags are a-flyin' She is all that I have left and music is her name

Think about Think about how many times I have fallen Spirits are using me, larger voices callin' What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten

I been around the world (I have been around the world) Lookin' (lookin' for that woman girl) Who knows love can endure

And you know it will And you know it will (yes) Ooo, ooo Ooo, ooo Ooo, ooo Ooo, ooo

So we cheated and we lied and we tested And we never failed to fail, it was the easiest thing to do You will survive being bested Somebody fine will come along make me forget about loving you And the Southern Cross

5. Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us now - Starship Lookin' in your eyes I see a paradise This world that I've found is too good to be true Standin' here beside you Want so much to give you This love in my heart that I'm feeling for you

Let 'em say we're crazy I don't care about that Put your hand in my hand Baby, don't ever look back Let the world around us Just fall apart Baby, we can make it If we're heart to heart

And we can build this dream together Standing strong forever Nothing's gonna stop us now And if this world runs out of lovers We'll still have each other Nothing's gonna stop us Nothing's gonna stop us now

Oh, whoa

I'm so glad I found you I'm not gonna lose you Whatever it takes I will stay here with you Take you to the good times See you through the bad times Whatever it takes Is what I'm gonna do

Let 'em say we're crazy What do they know? Put your arms around me Baby, don't ever let go Let the world around us Just fall apart Baby, we can make it If we're heart to heart

And we can build this dream together Standing strong forever Nothing's gonna stop us now And if this world runs out of lovers We'll still have each other Nothing's gonna stop us Nothing's gonna stop us

Ooh, all that I need is you All that I ever need All that I want to do Is hold you forever Forever and ever…

HEY!

And we can build this dream together Standing strong forever Nothing's gonna stop us now And if this world runs out of lovers We'll still have each other Nothing's gonna stop us Nothing's gonna stop us

Build this dream together Standing strong forever Nothing's gonna stop us now And if this world runs out of lovers We'll still have each other Nothing's gonna stop us

And we can build this dream together Standing strong forever Nothing's gonna stop us now (Nothing's gonna stop us) And if this world runs out of lovers We'll still have each other Nothing's gonna stop us

And we can build this dream together Standing strong forever Nothing's gonna stop us now

(nothing’s gonna stop this song)

6. We Are All Made of Stars - Moby Growing in numbers Growing in speed Can't fight the future Can't fight what I see

[chorus] People they come together People they fall apart

No one can stop us now 'Cause we are all made of stars

7. Here Comes the Sun – The Beatles Here comes the sun do, do, do Here comes the sun And I say it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun do, do, do Here comes the sun And I say it's all right

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear

8. Feel it Still - Portugal. The Man

Can't keep my hands to myself Think I'll dust 'em off, put 'em back up on the shelf In case my little baby girl is in need Am I coming out of left field?

Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now I been feeling it since 1966, now Might be over now, but I feel it still Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now Let me kick it like it's 1986, now Might be over now, but I feel it still

Got another mouth to feed Leave it with a baby sitter, mama, call the grave digger Gone with the fallen leaves Am I coming out of left field?

Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now I been feeling it since 1966, now Might've had your fill, but you feel it still Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now Let me kick it like it's 1986, now Might be over now, but I feel it still

We could fight a war for peace (Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now) Give in to that easy living Goodbye to my hopes and dreams Start flipping for my enemies We could wait until the walls come down (Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now) It's time to give a little to the kids in the middle But, oh until it falls won't bother me

Is it coming? Is it coming? Is it coming? Is it coming?

Is it coming? Is it coming back?

Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, yeah Your love is an abyss for my heart to eclipse, now Might be over now, but I feel it still

Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now I've been feeling it since 1966, now Might be over now, but I feel it still Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now Let me kick it like it's 1986, now Might be over now, but I feel it still Might've had your fill, but I feel it still
