The Black Hit of Space |
Been out all night, I needed a bite, I thought I’d put a record on I reached for the one with the ultra-modern label, and wondered where the light |
had gone |
It had a futuristic cover, lifted straight from Buck Rogers |
The record was so black it had to be a con |
The autochanger switched as I filled my sandwich |
And futuristic sounds warbled off and on The black hit of space |
It’s the one without a face |
It’s the one that doesn’t fit |
You can only see the flip |
The black hit of space |
Sucking in the human race |
How can it stay at the top |
When it’s swallowed all the shops |
As the song climbed the charts, the others disappeared |
Til there was nothing but it left to buy |
It got to number one, then into minus figures |
Though nobody could understand why |
The black hit of space |
It’s the one without a face |
It’s the one that doesn’t fit |
You can only see the flip |
The black hit of space |
Sucking in the human race |
How can it stay at the top |
When it’s swallowed all the shops |
I couldn’t stand this bland sound any more so I walked towards my deck to turn |
it off |
All I could see was the B-side of the disc which had assumed a doughnut shape |
with the label on the outside rim |
I reached for the arm which was less than one micron long but weighed more than |
Saturn and time stood still |
I knew I had to escape but every time I tried to flee, the record was in front |
of me The black hit of space |
Get James Burke on the case |
It’s the hit that’s never gone |
Time stops when you put it…(on) |
