Come inside, love
It’s getting cold out there
What are you looking at?
There’s nothing to see

I’m looking for a spaceship
I saw it on TV
I saw they’re advertising
For a pilot - that’s me
I want to fly out of this house
And miles into the sky
Because there’s nothing here for me now
And everything to see

Come inside, love
Your tea is on the table
Your father’s home and he’s hung up his hat
He’s sitting down with his paper

I’m looking for a new life
And a voyage beyond the stars
I’m looking for take-off and danger
And missions into Mars
I want to fly into the galaxy
And far away into another world
Because there’s nothing here for me now
And everything to see

Come inside, love
Your father’s getting impatient
He’ll clip you on the ear
If you’re not careful, lad
He’s waiting for his dinner
And we need you here with us
Oh, won’t you please come inside, love
And stop making a fuss!

I’m going to Neptune and planet Venus
I’m manoeuvring my ship
And if you want to come with me
You’re going to have to leave me be
Because I’m Captain of my spaceship
And I’m on my way to Mars

I’m speaking quickly, Mum
You’re fading - and your image is fading fast
I’m leaving now
I’m leaving now
And over and out
