Lyrics The Wildhearts

The Wildhearts

Sky Babies

Back on my planet, they laugh at my jokes

And everyone drinks and everyone smokes

No-one speaks 'less there's something to say

There's no false words, just telecommunique

Back on my planet you cannot tell lies

‘cos everyone can see it by the look in your eyes

Parties that last for a couple of days

No one sleeps ‘cos beds are prohibited

Back on my planet, silence is granted

We're laughing at the earthlings

Back on my planet

Back on my planet

(And meanwhile...)

Back on my planet where dinosaurs roam

With uncut TV beaming into your home

Is Mother Nature being eager and free?

Money don't talk just giving ability

Back on my planet, rules are all slanted

We're tokin' to be broken

Back on my planet

Back on my planet

Back on my planet

Take a trip down an open road

And the eyes on an evening star

Gets to move a bit closer to the ground

Like night at play

Wanna know what I need to know

Wanna see that we ain't in charge

Where the superpowers will try to run it down

All alone, you're not alone

'cos it's a meeting time for a different neighbour

Small and slight and grey

There's something going on

There's something going on

There's something going on

Look into those eyes

It comes as no surprise

“It's little more than Science Fiction”

The Government replies

They could be taking our daughters

They could be taking our ladies

Making sky babies

Sky babies

Sky babies

I, I'm looking at the sky tonight

Everything clear defined

Just like the last time

All ideas inside my head

Anything like a real one

I'm looking from the floor tonight

Weary of humankind

Tired of the chains that bind

Wasting time on diatribe

And all the time the walls are closing in

I'm feeling stuck inside again

When something more divine than suicide

More generous than fate

‘cos when I get to see a new sun arise

I'll be myself blame it on the other side

I’ll slip away, I’ll do it with ease

I'll take a cheap seat, please

‘cos you're the only one thing I wanna know

So won't you take me with you when you go?

And there’s a million feelings I wanna show

If you take me with you when you go

Yesterday’s dreams don’t mean nothing it seems

‘cos the big life keeps them waiting

And the people we find with a polythene mind

They just don't care at all

And the halcyon days are fearless and staged

As a memory plays it one more time

Here today, gone tomorrow

This is it in layman's terms

Phenomenon of UFOs

Is well acknowledged by the States

But secret to the President

Employed to be a public face

And keep the public feeling safe

But higher powers in the Government

Hide something a million times

The size of the killing of JFK

The CIA are aware that higher powers

Exist with untold knowledge of

Life and death dimension it could

Alter public awareness of religion

Which is the only faith that

Keeps us all in true control

And that's why we can never know

They’re shaking, and they're fucking us again

'cos you're the only one thing I wanna know

So won't you take me with you when you go?

And there's a million feelings I wanna show

If you take me with you when you go

'cos you're the only one thing I wanna know

If you take me with you when you go

And there's a million feelings I wanna show

If you take me with you when you go
