Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Walking On The Milky Way Lyrics






When I was only seventeen
My head was full of brilliant dreams
My heart would call and I would gladly go
At twenty one the world was mine
And I was yours and you're divine
And nothing else would matter to us so
I don't believe in destiny
I don't believe in love
I don't believe that anything will ever be enough...

Man you should have seen us
On the way to Venus
Walking on the milky way
It was quite a day hey hey...
Walking on the big stuff
Acting like we're real tough
Baby we were on our way
So what do you say hey hey.

As time goes by reality
Destroys your hope and dignity
There's nothing left but shadows on the wall
But just remember who you are
And where you've been you've come so far
And never ever let them see you fall
I don't believe in miracles
I don't believe in truth
I don't believe that anything can recreate your youth

Man you should have seen us
On the way to Venus
Walking on the milky way
It was quite a day hey hey...
Walking on the big stuff
Acting like we're real tough
Baby we were on our way
So what do you say hey hey

Man you should have seen us
On the way to Venus
Walking on the milky way
It was quite a day hey hey...
Walking on the big stuff
Acting like we're real tough
Baby we were on our way
So what do you say hey hey

Man it's you to seen us this way we runaway with you [x3]

  30. M.... D....

    My friend walking on the milky way. R.I.P.😢

  31. I.... S....

    Brilliant song, just brilliant. Sad and happy at the same time. I will never forget this song. This is all about life and youth. This is what i call a true music with meaningful lyrics. The young generation of today can't understand it. It reminds me of my youth, my experiences, what u lost and found in life, people i knew. What a great time. Thank you God for everything :(

    I.... S....

    Italian Stallion aguante The Offspring...y con este tema de OMITD vuelvo a mi infancia 😄

  32. G.... S....

    Very sweet 😚

  33. f.... ....

    I love omd. Thats the first time ive heard it just now. Wow

  34. n.... ....

    "I don't believe in truth" - is that a true statement?

  35. f.... ....

    wow that brunnette girl is so gorgeous! whats her name

  36. e.... ....

    "All the young dudes" Part 2.

    e.... ....

    It doesn't sound anything like All The Young Dudes

    e.... ....

    @Exile On Main Street Similar chord progression on the verses. Very similar to Canon in D.

    e.... ....

    Can hear a vague similarity between Canon in D, yes... But nothing remotely similar to All The Young Dudes

  37. T.... R....

    Wow that was the Song for my first love ;-)

  38. D.... K....

    Enola Gay, Maid Of Orleans, Pandora's Box and Walking On The Milky Way are best songs of OMD. And OMD is one of the best music band.

  39. f.... w....

    I love this song, anyone know where it was filmed

  40. M.... E....

    Second best band name after "Me First and the Gimmy Gimmy's

  41. N.... ....

    Todavia emocionando en 2019...

  42. b.... ....

    Matko ile lat ja szukałam tej piosenki! I leci właśnie w radio.

  43. B.... X....

    Besides the music, I also really like the used colours in this music video! Quite nostalgic.

    B.... X....

    The colouring is super mid 90s. This whole music video is kind of a distillation of that era.

  44. A.... J....

    OMG I so love this song OMD... thumping the desk in happiness Andy

  45. T.... T....

    I am crying....at 40. A lot people dead...my parents...how free and careless we are when young...memories of youth haunt me....

    T.... T....

    chin up mate, keep the memories in your heart, godbless your parents.

    T.... T....

    I'm 32 and cherish every day my parents are still here.

    T.... T....

    @Danny Dorko bless you!

  46. P.... N....

    This is brilliant music!! Better than many mainstream acts today.

  47. a.... u....

    Excelente la canción y el video...OMD no deja de sorprenderme con su música.

  48. J.... N....

    Love omd, love this song, and I love this video ❤️

  49. A.... J....

    it's the best song I've ever heard in my life, THANK YOU /// OMD

  50. U.... J....

  59. R.... F....

    Good ol' memories

  60. �.... �....

    Кто эта девушка в клипе? нигде нет информации об этом.

  61. m.... ....

    Absolutely love the fact that Andy McCluskey still bounces about the stage like he's 17 when OMD play live

  62. 1.... ....

    En 1996, aún quedaba en los seres humanos la chispa de la sensibilidad espiritual para crear hermosas melodías.

  63. P.... P....

    I used to listen to this song on the radio when i was teenager and i loved it Didn't know the song name or the band name. It has been 19 years since then. And finally i just found it randomly in spotify.. What a Lucky Day!

  64. N.... B....

    When you're feeling rough and down in the dumps...out comes this little nugget from the 90's. Absolutely wonderful.

  65. H.... S....

    Sangat berkesan dan ingat masa muda lalu.. zaman2 kuliah 1998

  66. R.... R....

    OMD the best production..

  67. D.... L....

    I think it's ace and only heard it for the first time last week. Can't stop listening now and I'm 33

  68. A.... F....

    The days of youth won't come back, but you have to continue making your live and having fun whatever age you are. That's the only way you won't fall in nostalgia. You won't be younger than you are today ;)

    A.... F....

    Yes! so true! 👍

  69. F.... K....

    Freakinnnn awesome!!!

  70. K.... D....

    Oooh anoother song that I thought was happy, chilled and free. Now I know the lyrics and the true meaning.
    It is more sad, but so much more beautiful :) I love 'old' music and I'm happy i live in these days, when I can listen to all 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s music, as it's alredy been created ;) whenever I want <3

    K.... D....

    I'm glad, You like all this Great music, too. 👍.💫.😃

  71. t.... A....

    Jeeeze I'd forgotten this!

  72. J.... .....

    Brilliant song video filmed in Southend and Canvey?

  73. Z.... H....

    Best song, makes me feel alive again, love OMD!!!!!

  74. A.... R....

    Funnily this video has the imagery of the mid-80s but as the quality of cameras in the 90s already improved heavily, this video looks a bit bizarre. Great images and music anyway.

  75. K.... M....

    Too true,wild youth,can remember some of it,. Gid days . Nothing last forever! Bro!🤗☠☠☠👽☠

  76. J.... H....

    Played at my son's funeral he was 18yrs old and this song he played all the time a omd fan like his mum I break down in tears ever time I hear this so reminds me of my baby x

    J.... H....

    A mother should never bury her son.

  77. H.... S....

    Notre Coldplay mais des "80"...😉👍👏👏

  78. s.... ....

    I don't know who the woman in the video is, but the backing vocals are sung by the fabulous Carol Decker from t'pau

    s.... ....

    I think the backing vocals were sung by Hannah Clive.

  79. A.... R....

    Listening to this just 'recreated my youth'.... i believe this song can 'recreate your youth' ;)

  80. M.... M....

    love this song

  81. S.... O....

    Oh let’s make everyone feel old...this song is nearly 22 years old !!! 🤫
