Houston '77
I remember 1977
When I first touched down
In Houston, Texas
I thought I'd landed in heaven
Proud boy with his dad
First transatlantic trip
Smartly dressed as was the fashion
Six year old little man
Everything seemed so big
TV in the morning
Piggies in the blanket
For breakfast
Lost in the King Size bed
Red Apples in the barrel
In the foyer
Of the Ramada
And they were free and the size of your head
Swimming in the pool
Blue skies water cool
And then the trip
Of which
Memories are made
To the Space Centre
At Kennedy
My spaceman dream come true
And dad I owed it to you
Houston we have a problem
Daddy's going away
Never coming back again
Despite all that he has to say
A fresh start, new family
Hard time ahead for you
And no-one can dine on memories
Even if a dream comes true
When I first touched down
In Houston, Texas
I thought I'd landed in heaven
Proud boy with his dad
First transatlantic trip
Smartly dressed as was the fashion
Six year old little man
Everything seemed so big
TV in the morning
Piggies in the blanket
For breakfast
Lost in the King Size bed
Red Apples in the barrel
In the foyer
Of the Ramada
And they were free and the size of your head
Swimming in the pool
Blue skies water cool
And then the trip
Of which
Memories are made
To the Space Centre
At Kennedy
My spaceman dream come true
And dad I owed it to you
Houston we have a problem
Daddy's going away
Never coming back again
Despite all that he has to say
A fresh start, new family
Hard time ahead for you
And no-one can dine on memories
Even if a dream comes true
