I often lie awake and wonder why I’m counting sheep to get to sleep at night Couldn’t write a song to save my life If I could find the words I would But it’s time I understood That everything I’ve said’s a lie Couldn’t make me love you more than I do now It couldn’t make me love you more than I do now It couldn’t make me love you more than I do now It couldn’t make me love you more than I do now I watch the T.V. what a bore I’m just the same as him next door Who has the right to any more? Sometimes a kiss is all it takes To wipe away the world’s mistakes Hold me close for goodness sake Couldn’t make me love you more than I do now It couldn’t make me love you more than I do now It couldn’t make me love you more than I do now It couldn’t make me love you more than I do now Couldn’t make me love you more than I do now It couldn’t make me love you more than I do now It couldn’t make me love you more than I do now It couldn’t make me love you more than I do now

Sometimes it snows in April Sometimes it rains in may But Adam and Eve were meant to be And it’ll always be that way Because you can’t change their love Change their loving ways I got this here woman And all my friends agree She ain’t got the looks you find in books But they’re good enough for me And you can’t change my love Change my loving ways She ain’t no Cleopatra She ain’t no venus too But what she got I need a lot No nothing else will do And you can’t change my love Change my loving ways She got no magic potions She don’t put no spell on me She just treat me right and hold me tight I’m as happy as can be And you can’t change my love Change my loving ways Now we went down to the chapel of love And the preacher said with a grin I’m sorry son you’re much too young I cannot let you in But I won’t change your love Change your loving ways But we’ll be married someday If there’s a Lord above Ain’t ever been a stronger thing Than this crazy thing called love And you can’t change my love Change my loving ways And you can’t change my love Change my loving ways

Bleed 04:33 video
You never told me I’d be good enough I didn’t understand The other stuff I never listened to A single word Going from A to Z Ain’t that the strangest thing You ever ever heard. We make the same mistakes A million times It’s not what we want it’s what we need I’d open up my veins for you Cause every memory makes me bleed Cause every memory makes me bleed I never let you Be half of you Love doesn’t get you down Brings out the best and the worst of you I could have told the truth But it was easier to lie I couldn’t mess it up anymore a second time No matter how I try We make the same mistakes A million times It’s not what we want it’s what we need I’d open up my veins for you Cause every memory makes me bleed Cause every memory makes me bleed We make the same mistakes A million times It’s not what we want it’s what we need I’d open up my veins for you Cause every memory makes me bleed I’d open up my veins for you Cause every memory makes me bleed Cause every memory makes me bleed

I could give up smoking I’m not joking But those new year resolutions They come and they go It’s a bummer But you know I don’t like summer When I play Well, I prefer to play with snow But I can give it up, yeah Anytime that I want to I control all of my hopes and my fears But I’m paying through the nose And that’s the way my money goes Only goes to show It’ll end in tears, In tears And I would sell you my mother For another, another line of cocaine And I would sell you my mother For another, another line of cocaine A one way love affair That’s not going anyway My empty pockets seem to justify the lie And I’ve never found What goes around comes around Never felt so low about getting so high, so high And I would sell you my mother For another, another line of cocaine And I would sell you my mother For another, another line of cocaine And I would sell you my mother For another, another line of cocaine And I would sell you my mother For another, another line of cocaine

Round and round and round we go Six million miles from nowhere Sometimes high and sometimes low But never time enough to spare Some you win and some you lose I don’t deny that I don’t despair Some you can and cannot chose Six million miles from nowhere O I lay me down to wake me up Six million miles from nowhere Like rain into a paper cup Love is flowing everywhere The tide comes in to take me out leaving raspberry ripples in the air Silently I twist and shout Six million miles from nowhere I’m slowing down to hurry up Six million miles from nowhere What a lot, a lot I got Sometimes too much and then some to spare I never want to bring you down And if you don’t mind then I don’t care But there is no answer to be found Six million miles from nowhere Please don’t push There’s no rush I prefer to take my time And let mind be free And feeling fine’s alright by me Six million miles from nowhere And there’s nowhere left to go Six million miles from nowhere And I’ve missed the last bus home Moving slowly Holy is the movement Each moment takes a second Each second lasts a lifetime And feeling fine’s alright by me Six million miles from nowhere And there’s nowhere left to go Six million miles from nowhere And I’ve missed the last bus home Believing In the art of breathing Simplify, divide to multiply Relatively speaking There’s no cheating time Six million miles from nowhere And there’s nowhere left to go Six million miles from nowhere And I’ve missed the last bus home Darling be home soon I heard you say A million years ago It was dark I lost my way I tried to phone To tell you so So please try to hear me Though a thousand million miles May lay between us Let’s put it all behind us To remind us And try to be Close to me

( I love a little bossa vibe ) Too many people must have told you, you were beautiful Enough to turn my head I got to tell ya, my god you’re beautiful I don’t listen to a single word that’s said A word that’s said - A word that’s said Cause God only only knows what you do to me Lord only knows how I don’t care God only only knows what you do to me Lord only knows how I don’t care You know I don’t care. You know I don’t care You know I don’t care I got a plan to rule the world before I’m twenty-five You can do it. I can tell Don’t be the one, don’t be the one to critisize Even though you broke my heart I wish you well I wish you well, I wish you well, I wish you well Cause God only only knows what you do to me Lord only knows how I don’t care God only only knows what you do to me Lord only knows how I don’t care You know I don’t care. You know I don’t care You know I don’t care God only only knows what you do to me Lord only knows how I don’t care God only only knows what you do to me Lord only knows how I don’t care You know I don’t care. You know I don’t care You know I don’t care There ain’t no moral to this song of mine You’re just a boy. I’m just a girl I guess this kind of shit happens all the time Welcome to the big bad the big bad ugly world big bad ugly world world world world Cause God only only knows what you do to me Lord only knows how I don’t care God only only knows what you do to me Lord only knows how I don’t care Do you care? No No Baby don’t care.

Sitting on the midnight train to London You had a plastic cup of coffee in your hand You whispered something softley Slowly drifting down to me Familiar words I couldn’t fail to understand You never had a problem with tomorrow You said the world would never come To those who wait You said come fly with me And I knew I had to follow This was no time to hesitate Please believe me Julie Christie Please believe me When I say You made see what I could be And what I am today And every girl I’ve ever met reminds me That the paths we tread Are never straight or true You throw caution to the wind And light another cigarette And when in doubt I often think of you Please believe me Julie Christie Please believe me When I say

There are too many songs Written about love And here’s another one of them There are too many songs Written about love And here’s another one of them And why why why Do we try To do the same again?

Womangod 07:03
You promised you would never Did you ever keep your promises? Coming on like a teenage princess You were always obsessed by incest To be honest I couldn’t care less But then you’d smile And with that you’d possess me Up in heaven, saw you up in heaven Wearing leather, boots of shiny leather You were there playing with the angels Silver glitter painted on your fingernails Telling stories you’d borrowed from the devil For all I cared the devil could take you The saints all cried and tried to be close to you Lennon sang and promised to be true to you You were beautiful enough to tempt a blind man Spoke words of wisdom only genius could understand I was afraid that I was afraid And all I wanted to know was your name Womangod is buddha Womangod is Christ On my knees I worship you O be my guiding light I touched your lips with my trembling fingertips You shook your hips I heard myself screaming You said Hi, you can call me pleasure I made promises I could not deliver You went away and you never came back Paradise, paradise is like that Womangod is buddha Womangod is Christ On my knees I worship you O be my guiding light Womangod is buddha Womangod is Christ On my knees I worship you O be my guiding light Womangod Womangod Womangod Womangod Womangod Womangod Womangod Womangod Womangod is buddha Womangod is Christ On my knees I worship you O be my guiding light Womangod is buddha Womangod is Christ On my knees I worship you O be my guiding light

Candy-coated kisses From my sugar-candy baby Every moment spent with you Is a moment sent to save me Ain’t nothing in this whole wide world Guaranteed to enslave me Like candy-coated kisses From my sugar-candy baby You lighten up my darkest thoughts With eyes that sparkle like the stars at night And just before you go to bed You always ask me the reasons why If there’s no god or no heaven above Then could I tell you who am I To lighten up your darkest thoughts With eyes that sparkle like the stars at night And like a flower You keep growing I hope I’m showing you A better way to be And when the rain is falling When the world outside is calling I promise to stop you falling You can count on me Life is like a Christmas present So please unwrap it slowly I don’t need to send you greeting cards To tell you you’re my one and only And always believe in Santa Claus Cause he will surely show thee That life is a Christmas present to unwrap slowly Candy-coated kisses From my sugar-candy baby You may be only six-years-old But you’re old enough to drive me crazy And I don’t care if the sun don’t shine So long as you save me Those candy-coated kisses From my sugar-candy baby Candy-coated kisses From my sugar-candy baby Candy-coated kisses From my sugar-candy baby Candy-coated kisses From my sugar-candy baby

Everything you say Takes my breath away And everything you do Makes me want to be with you You helped me as a man To see at last and understand Maybe it’s because Love has never been this good Love has never been this good You will always be Twice the man I hoped to be Only hope you’ll see All the things I tried to be And when my time has come Try and spare a thought for me Believing it’s because Love has never been this good Love has never been this good Everything must end And I cannot change that for you All the fear and pain It was the death of me and it’ll be the death of you I’m sorry for the life For the life I gave to you Maybe it’s because Love has never been this good Love has never been this good

My boat has gone out on the shore I am standing The moon is still shining way over the sea And still I am wondering if I should be waiting Waiting for true love to come back to me I’ll always remember the first time I met her Together we promised till death do we part But how could we know we’d be true to the letter For better or worse she had captured my heart Her hair was as fair as the wheat fields of autumn Her eyes were as green as the deep where she drowned Her skin was as soft as the swan’s snow-white feather Her kisses as ripe as the fruit on the ground. But sailors go sailing and the sea is their mistress The call of the ocean to strong to deny And many a time was our wedding bed empty And the brightest of morning the darkest of night And even the purest of hearts can get lonely And often she’d heard that my boat had gone down And she was too young and alive to be widowed And another man’s arms were strength to her now She tried to explain how her true heart had failed her But I told her to leave and to come back no more She took to a ship as the ship took to sailing My heart was as black as the gathering storm I stood stern and cold as the rocks smashed against her Every night from the shore I can still hear her call For damned is the man who let’s true love leave lightly For my one love was true love is my love no more. For my one love was true love is my love no more. For my one love was true love is my love no more.

Give me a kiss and then leave me alone A man and his monkey reflected in glasses We’re big strong lads so please let us go Bald men and barmaids meeting at dances Taking chances on romances Give me a kiss and then leave me alone A man and his monkey reflected in glasses We’re big strong lads but please let us go Bald men and barmaids meeting at dances Taking chances on romances A fat lady singing ‘nugget for sale.’ Hang on to yer hats here comes Wendy the whale Another old dog ignoring new tricks Walks into my shop to be sick Robert yer a genius To see so deep inside of us So nice of you to consider us at all Sweet Molly Malone says by golly the race he left in a hurry but he died on the case My wife’s still in bed after all of these years Knitting a crossword and sitting with tears in her eyes No surprise Robert yer a genius To see so deep inside of us So nice of you to consider us at all Robert yer a genius To see so deep inside of us So nice of you to consider us at all Fell into a canal the color of cheese For wearing my underpants down to my knees I’m fishing for cars that are parked in a lake She took off her clothes and she baked me a cake Baked me a cake That was her mistake To bake me a cake Robert yer a genius To see so deep inside of us So nice of you to consider us at all Robert yer a genius To see so deep inside of us So nice of you to consider us at all Robert you’re a genius Robert you’re a genius Robert you’re a genius Robert you’re a genius Robert you’re a genius Robert you’re a genius And I will never understand Why the world cannot see you through my eyes And I will never understand Why we never realize until it’s passed us by.

There’s death and destruction There’s peace love and harmony There’s so many beautiful things you can be It’s not where you’re going to It’s not where you’re coming from You say nothing is right I say nothing is wrong Take a walk round Martin’s garden As the sun goes down And all that you’ve ever lost will be found It’s as big as a matchbox It’s as small as the london zoo And there’s so many different things you can do Take a walk round Martin’s garden Take a walk with me There’s so many wonderful things you can see Cause all the people in Martin’s garden Are all the people I know And all the people are asking Martin How does your garden grow How does your garden grow How does your garden How does your garden How does your garden grow? The rain follows sunshine And the summer the springtime O they come and they go however they please There ain’t no walls in Martin’s garden Or none that you can’t climb But if you really need a ladder You can borrow mine Cause all the people in Martin’s garden Are all the people I know And all the people are asking Martin How does your garden grow How does your garden grow How does your garden How does your garden How does your garden grow? There ain’t no walls in Martin’s garden Or none that you can’t climb But if you really need a ladder You can borrow mine Cause all the people in Martin’s garden Are all the people I know And all the people are asking Martin How does your garden grow How does your garden grow How does your garden How does your garden How does your garden grow?

Many good things I’ve said and done But to my undying shame So many promises given But broken all the same I’m just an ordinary guy Who knows of suffering and joy I wanna be brave and strong But deep inside I’m just a boy Who cannot understand Why you broke his heart And lay before me all my fears You took my world and you tore it all apart Now I’m all alone in the valley of tears Now I’m all alone in the valley of tears Each night I ask my god To help me find my way I know his words are wisdom But I don’t listen anyway My heart is blind and even in his light I cannot see I wanted it all and now But now the devil’s leading me Down, down the paths The paths of no return I have abandoned all my cares Now I would give everything For just one kind word from you For I’m all alone in the valley of tears I’m all alone I’m all alone I’m all alone in the valley of tears I’m all alone I’m all alone I’m all alone in the valley of tears The sun sets low It’s time for me to go And I finally realize We always hurt the ones we love But it’s hurt me more here inside To all those people I have tortured with my selfish ways I can only say I’m sorry And hope there’s time for them to save A foolish sinner Who has failed to understand How he has wasted all these years Now when I need someone To lend a helping hand I’m all alone in the valley of tears I’m all alone in the valley of tears

Saving for a rainy day Will stand you in good stead Early up to face the day An empty life a-bed Waiting for the outcome Of whatever's coming out And you will be no doubt A happy and a wiser man With time enough to kill You will. You will. I promise you And fill it in with worrying Of what will follow next Not all the world's a stage Where each man in his time Plays seven parts We all adore a metaphor But frankly William Not yer best. A hearse. A hearse My Kingdom for a hearse Rehearse. Rehearse We do nothing but rehearse Each verse. Each Verse Will only make things worse A hearse. A hearse My Kingdom for a hearse Someday soon Too soon for me That blessed sleep Of which you often speak Shall draw silently And with such sweet certainty A hearse. A hearse My kingdom sold so cheap And blessed is that horse Which pulls my final journey And wealthy is the man To cherish such a beast Oh the least that I can do Is write this useless verse And agreeing with a breathless whisper Speak.

So it’s true what I’ve heard That you’ve gone and changed my world Wanna know what I think? Well I’d rather learn to swim Didn’t I say I’m feeling fragile today Didn’t I say I’m feeling fragile today You were pissed could not resist His laid-back continental charm Left a note to say you’d gone With a modern Don Juan Didn’t I say I’m feeling fragile today Didn’t I say I’m feeling fragile today Tell me why compared to him I feel a bit like Norman Wisdom O come on, have a heart It’s not supposed to make you laugh Didn’t I say I’m feeling fragile today Didn’t I say I’m feeling fragile today Fragile today Fragile today

My mother used to say A little bit of love is good for you My mother knew a thing or two She said it’s Christmas Day tomorrow All around the world It’s Christmas Day tomorrow For every boy or girl I don’t care if they’ve been good or bad Let’s just be glad of the things we have And may all our dreams come true My mother used to say If it could be like this the whole year through My mother knew a thing or two She said it’s Christmas Day tomorrow All around the world It’s Christmas Day tomorrow For every boy or girl I don’t care if they’ve been good or bad Let’s just be glad of the things we have And may all our dreams come true It’s Christmas Day tomorrow

Here comes that man again. He’s been crazy since I don’t know when But if you’d talk to him now and then Everything would be alright. He could wind up mother theresa Playing Dylan records far too loud But he was really great to have around Never in the in-crowd He could never say please or thank you He could never be on time Never knowing anyone Who liked this friend of mine They’d all say Here comes that man again He’s been crazy since I don’t know when But if you talk to him now and then Everything would be alright Girls would often love and leave him He was always turning hot then cold Their mums would say They told them so They’d all say Here comes that man again He’s been crazy since I don’t know when But if you talk to him now and then Everything would be alright They’d all say Here comes that man again He’s been crazy since I don’t know when But if you talk to him now and then They say he’s hooked on breathing May take some believing But I’d rather take than leave him Here comes that man again He’s been crazy since I don’t know when But if you talk to him now and then Everything would be alright He told me he’s great ambition Was drifting aimlessly And that I tried to hard to please And where had it got me ? Here comes that man again He’s been crazy since I don’t know when But if you talk to him now and then Everything would be alright They’d all say Here comes that man again He’s been crazy since I don’t know when But if you talk to him now and then Everything would be alright Here comes that man again Here comes that man again

I was fifteen She was lying She broke my heart She walked away I felt like dying I was all alone Turned on my radio A voice from outer space And it was crying Say goodbye to the pretty young things Say goodbye to the pretty young things A thin white face With a lightening strike But boy could ya play guitar A star had never shone so bright But boy could ya play guitar A thin white face With a lightening strike But boy could ya play guitar A star had never shone so bright But boy could ya play guitar A thin white face With a lightening strike But boy could ya play guitar A star had never shone so bright But boy could ya play guitar The dogs were wearing diamonds And all the boys were beautiful I never found someone Who made me feel the way you do Eyes like eyes I’d never seen Or’d ever see again And mine were full of tears I realized that everything must end Say goodbye to the pretty young things Say goodbye to the pretty young things A thin white face With a lightening strike But boy could ya play guitar A star had never shone so bright But boy could ya play guitar A thin white face With a lightening strike But boy could ya play guitar A star had never shone so bright But boy could ya play guitar Say goodbye to the pretty young things Say goodbye to the pretty young things A thin white face With a lightening strike But boy could he play guitar A star had never shone so bright But boy could he play guitar A thin white face With a lightening strike But boy could he play guitar A star had never shone so bright But boy could he play guitar

about

In the intensive care ward of a Parisian hospital, a man in bed « I think ‘God’ is a great name for a solo artist. »
His five-year-old daughter, Lily: « I think ‘Spaceman‘ is better. »

Six Million Miles From Nowhere is the debut album by Spaceman, formerly know as Stephan James or Stephen Munson, the lead singer of Living In Texas, cult UK psychedelic punksters, renegade rockers from the 80s who were born and bred in Colchester and lived in London. Refusing to adhere to any etiquette, unpredictable and unmanagable, living and always resisting any urge to reform, Living In Texas' recorded catalogue is as impressive as it is diverse, spanning the eight years of their existence.

In 1997, Munson was rushed to hospital with a suspected heart-attack and decided in his hospital bed that he would ‘play’ alone from now on as Spaceman.

For his first concert, he asked the godfather of lo-fi, the American Dogbowl, to come down to his rehearsal to make sure his set was okay.

He then recorded alone on his 4 track and with others at Blue Sky studios in Paris. The songs were never released. The studio closed. He continued to play live right up to 2015.

Meeting Confuse (Christelle Canot) one half of In Case Of Fire, multi-instrumentalist for Merryn Jeann, Jeanne Added and Adam Naas, was his epiphany. She was the other half he had been waiting for and at the end of 2018 they tentatively started to work on the definitive Spaceman solo album. Nine songs he had already retained from 1999/2000, but another 16 would be added through 2019 and 2020, recorded and produced by Confuse between Marseille and Paris and with musicians from around the world.
