Lyrics

Another Satellite

[Verse 1]

My heart is taken, it's not lost in space

And I don't want to see your mooney, mooney face

I say, "Why on Earth do you revolve around me?

Aren't you aware of the gravity?"

Don't need another satellite

[Verse 2]

I'm happy standing on my feet of clay

I have no wish to swim your Milky, Milky Way

I say, "Why on Earth do you send your letters 'round here

Only to gum up the atmosphere?"

Don't need another satellite

[Chorus 1]

So circling we'll orbit another year

Two worlds that won't collide

So circling we'll orbit another year

Moon still tries to steal the tide away

[Post-Chorus 1]

Fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa, ta-ta-ta

Don't need another satellite

Fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa, ta-ta-ta

Don't need another satellite

[Verse 3]

Abort your mission let's just say you tried

Before you glimpse I have a darker, darker side

I say, "Why in Heaven's name do you come on these trips

Only to freeze in a total eclipse?"

Don't need another satellite

[Chorus 2]

So circling we'll orbit another year

Two worlds that won't collide

So circling we'll orbit another year

Moon still tries to steal the tide away

Don't need another satellite

[Chorus]

Fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa, ta-ta-ta

Don't need another satellite

Fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa, ta-ta-ta

Don't need another satellite

Fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa, ta-ta-ta

Don't need another satellite

Fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa, ta-ta-ta

Don't need another satellite

Fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa, ta-ta-ta

Don't need another satellite
