Ashes To Ashes - Live at BBC Radio Theatre, London, 27th June, 2000; 2021 Remaster

One, two three, four

Do you remember a guy that's been
In such an early song?
I've heard a rumor from Ground Control
Oh no, don't say it's true

They got a message from the Action Man
"I'm 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
Ain't got no money and ain't got no hair
But I'm hoping to kick, the planet is glowing, glowing, glowing

Ashes to ashes, funk 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 keep following me
Oh no, not again

I'm stuck with a valuable friend
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too"
One flash of light but no smoking pistol

I never did good things (I never done good things)
I never done bad things (I never done bad things)
I never did anything out of the blue, no
Want an axe to pick the ice
Wanna come down right now

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out on heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

My mother said,"To get things done
You better not mess with Major Tom"
My mother said, "To get things done
You better not mess with Major Tom"

My mother said, "To get things done
You better not mess with Major Tom"
My mother said, "To get things done
You better not mess with Major Tom"

Thank you (thanks)
