Hubble Space Telescope

[Verse]

You listen to what clever people say

They say you'll have something to take away

But on second glance, they'll make you laugh, make you angry

See, they don't have a clue what I'll be taking away

Probably two and three-quarter years of misery

And a fear of the past, a disdain for flat caps

I heard about you in the golf club

Heard about you in the golf club

And the ceiling, and the ceiling

And the old star, and the backyard

And the feeling

You always said you gotta do some stuff

Head into town, lay it down, down on me

Tough love, tough love

Impossibly early, better bе Monday

Counting copper coins in a cold blue cup

As if thesе things are easy to make up

[Chorus]

And I spent some time on an island

The Mediterranean Sea brought to hand for me

And I swear I saw your face there in the mountainside

[Verse]

You know Joni Mitchell's 68 - 71

Slept in a cave on a rock in the sun

But I don't have the time, or the company

See I left all the people I like the most behind

They moved to the bigger city and it's about time

I follow in line, high-rise, good for the mind

But even when I'm kicking back on the back of the three

Sitting on a doorstep takes a lot out of me

And obviously not falling asleep, but plummeting

By the light of an old star

In a backyard, with a feeling

[Chorus]

And I spent some time on an island

The Mediterranean Sea brought to hand for me

And I swear I saw your face there in the mountainside

[Verse]

Sure you can touch her, she don't belong to me

She really ain't interested and you'll soon see

That being a man, perfecting an act, it ain't all that

And sure you're looking better in a black t-shirt

With those white teeth that make your eyes hurt

But I was perfect for her

I was perfect for her

Still I hear about you in the nightclub

Hear about you in the nightclub

And you're leaving

And you're leaving

For your old star, and your backyard, and a feeling

[Outro]

Remember when we ran outside to take a look

At the Hubble Space Telescope

And you stayed in your room

And after that, the night went clear pitch black

Oh, remember when we ran outside to take a look

At the Hubble Space Telescope

And you stayed in your room

And after that, the night went clear pitch black

Pitch black
