Ashes To Ashes (acoustic cover)

   Do you remember a guy that's been
   In such an early song
   I've heard a rumour from Ground Control
   Oh no don't say its true
   They got a message from the Action Man
   I'm happy, hope you're happy too
   I've loved all I've needed love
   Sordid details following

   The shrieking of nothing is killing me
   Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis
   And I ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
   But the planet is glowing

   Ashes to ashes funk to funky
   We know Major Tom's a junkie
   Strung out in heavens high
   Hitting an all time low

   Time and again I tell myself
   I'll stay clean tonight
   But the little green wheels are following me
   Oh no, not again
   I'm stuck with a valuable friend
   I'm happy hope you're happy too
   One flash of light but no smoking pistol
   I've never done good things
   I've never done bad things
   I've never done anything out of the blue
   I want an axe to break the ice
   I want to come down right now

   Ashes to ashes funk to funky
   We know Major Tom's a junkie
   Strung out in heavens high
   Hitting an all time low

   My mam said to get things done
   You better not mess with Major Tom
