Shiny Toy Guns - Major Tom Lyrics






Standing there alone, the ship is waiting
All systems are go. Are you sure?
Control is not convinced
But the computer has the evidence
No need to abort
The countdown starts

Watching in a trance, the crew is certain
Nothing left to chance, all is working
Trying to relax, up in the capsule
"Send me up a drink", jokes Major Tom
The count goes on

4, 3, 2, 1
Earth below us
Drifting, falling, floating weightless
Calling, calling home

Second stage is cut
We're now in orbit
Stabilizers up, running perfect
Starting to collect requested data
"What will it affect, when all is done?"
Thinks Major Tom

Back at ground control
There is a problem
"Go to rockets full"
Not responding
"Hello Major Tom, are you receiving?
Turn the thrusters on
We're standing by"
There's no reply

4, 3, 2, 1
Earth below us
Drifting, falling, floating weightless
Calling, calling home

Across the stratosphere, a final message
"Give my wife my love"
Then nothing more

Far beneath the ship, the world is mourning
They don't realize, he's alive
No one understands, but Major Tom sees
Now the light commands
This is my home, I'm coming home"

Earth below us
Drifting, falling
Floating weightless
Calling home
[Repeat]
Home

  1. P.... M....

    stg should do this in the german version! :)

  2. P.... G....

    It is one of the few songs that I stop everything I am doing to listen to. Bought an electronic copy when it was new that is who knows where now.

  3. c.... D....

    She was blessed with an AMAZING voice, right pick for this song... it gave me chills and goosebumps ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  4. E.... C....

    I literally can't stand anything else of theirs that I've heard, but I like their remake better than the original.(which I also love)

  5. D.... l....

    I like that ammount of views on non official website more because they blocked access to most "shithole countries"

  6. S.... ....

    I remember hearing it in a movie, anyone knows if theres a movie where this song is played? (NO, I'm not referring to the original song, I mean this cover).

    S.... ....

    Or in a TV series, I can't remember

    S.... ....

    @SLIME-CRAFTER There was a movie trailer with this song, Roid-rage, a really bad horror comedy

    Hello, sorry ... german text, because the original song of Major Tom is also in german language ;)
    Das ist eine echt tolle Cover-Version !
    Ich bin als Musiker auch oft live aufgetreten und Major Tom war immer mein grösster Erfolg ... weil ich eine ähnliche Stimme wie Peter Schilling habe ;)
    Inzwischen komponiere ich aber selbst ... schau mal rein ...
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxBdmVWtUnA
    Vielleicht machst Du davon ja auch mal eine Cover-Version ... würde mich freuen ;)

    Some died.
    I listen to this in memory of those who died (regardless of nationality) trying to reach the stars.
    May all those who died in an attempt to explore space RIP.
    EDIT: They ALL deserve to be remembered.

    R.... v....

    Just Remember,Peter Schilling Made this Song,Not these Clowns that are getting All the Credit,,,It's an Awesome Tune,She's (Shiny Toy Guns)Is getting the credit!!!

    R.... v....

    Yo, don't be a party pooper, we all know.

    R.... v....

    @SLIME-CRAFTER Hey AssHole,,What if you made An Absolutely Awesome song back in the Day & 25 years Later,,Someone Made A terrible Remake(But it's such A Jam of A Song)She's getting All the credit!!! I mean really think About that!!! Anybody can sing this & sound half Decent because it's "Awesome"!!! But I'm not here to say to people which Version they listen to,,It just Sux the credit this Individual is getting for Anothers Awesome work... P.S they put you in A Studio,,You'll sound pretty good Because it's An Awesome Song!!!

    R.... v....

    LUXXXIFER First, go call somebody asshole.
    Second of all, we all know they're not the original creators, theres a lot of comments mentioning that and the internet tells you too.
    Now, the reason why I called ya party pooper, it's cause this comment its meant to express their feelings (refering to the comment of the person where we are debating this), they're saying they like the song and it's cool, but no need to rush every comment saying that Peter Schilling is the original creator.

  27. T.... ....

    That hook is EVERYTHING

  28. M.... M....

    Anyone here from Jacs Multigames CSS?

  29. H.... G....

    Please, add this song on Spotify :)

    Absolutely Terrible remix!!! Peter Schilling is Probly Crying at how they Destroyed his Song!!! She Brings No Originality to the Song!!! Another Mariah Carey,,Remake Queen,,What,,Is she singing this in the Shower??? Absolute Garbage!!!!! Shiny Toy Garbage!!!!!!!!!!

  34. R.... v....

    it gets more intense and mysterious if you slow it down to 0.75 speed

    R.... v....

    It seemed more upbeat when I went to 1.25x speed Rendrat.

    R.... v....

    @Mikey_Suze Four it already fast enough speed it up more and it looses all sense

    R.... v....

    Huh. Kinda does. Weird

  35. K.... O....

    I can not believe I never heard of this band before, and this awesome cover... wtf is wrong with me, lol.

    K.... O....

    Don't Listen to this Remake "Shiny Toy Guns" Garbage,,Listen to the Original Band that in the 80's Made The Dancefloor Screem When this Song was Played,,This Remix sounds like A young Girl singing in A Shower!!!

    K.... O....

    @LUXXXIFER you know, i love the og by peter schilling, but this is really cool. so im gonna listen to it. and if the girl is "singing in the shower" that makes it even better, lol

  36. M.... N....

    It is, lol. I've had it in my playlist for the longest.

  37. D.... Z....

    Teen Titan Idol space star terra everyone ?

  38. H.... o....

    Sorry, a song about the dangers and harsh realities of space travel sung by an adolescent barely crawling out of puberty has little interest for me. Will stick with the original.

    If you like this, their cover of Blue Oyster Cult’s “Burning for You” is pretty good too. (It was also in a Lincoln commercial)

    P.... M....

    Thank you for changing my life.

  46. I.... ....

    CANT FIND THIS SONG ON SPOTIFY OR AT LEAST NOT THIS SPECIFIC VERSION, AND THAT DRIVES ME CRAZY

  47. K.... A....

  50. t.... r....

    My male nipples starting producing breastmilk at 3:05

  51. A.... A....

    Was the "bean" in Chicago an "inspiration" for them? What would they say of the "bean" of the "clitoris" and premature conclusions that they are exclusively lesbian?

    Also, warning: "stabilizers" are automated, if not allowed to be piloted by the pilot. And shouldn't ever be "done" by an "A.I.", whatever an "A.I." is.

    I bet you're fun at parties.

    A.... A....

    @ApolloSynths My "friends" are known to "swig a jig" a little.

    A.... A....

    @Alexander Arnold are you high?

  54. A.... A....

    "trying to relapse" is not the best lyric to say the least.

    I'm not a part of any "music war" and I love truly strong women, truly.

    A.... A....

    "Trying to relax"
    Chill out

  55. N.... J....

    Carah Faye > Sisely Treasure

    If I get lost in space, will people finally give a shit about me?

  69. D.... ....

    There used to be this Youtube video called "Top 100 Sci-fi Movies of All Time," which had this song. My God, it was awesome! But someone took the video down.

  70. R.... S....

    Thanks Demo

  72. C.... I....

    This would make for good proximity wing suit music

  73. J.... G....

    The original is so rigid compared to this . I am pleased that it came out otherwise we would not have this. I believe shiny toy guns won an award for this album

  74. S.... ....

    Just found this after listening to the Glebstar remix for about six years

    Her voice gives me chills...

  84. A.... A....

    There is something to be said about Feminism, and not as a Political Belief. These Artists are not inherently political for everyone.

    it's not out yet but it's been released and there is no evidence. Ground control, I can't hear you.


    Mutiny in Space: Why These Skylab Astronauts Never Flew Again
    In 1973, it was the longest space mission — 84 days in the stars. But at some point the astronauts just got fed up


    The crew of Skylab 4 in August 1973. From left to right: astronaut Gerald Carr, who commanded the mission; scientist-astronaut Edward Gibson; astronaut William Pogue.


    STG tell them at the disco don't tell them Jesus said He is coming back and that He can't do what He needs to do from Hell and He doesn't mean it. He likes what they're doing and doesn't want anything, and nothing about Gabriel. Also He won't take from them less than they can bear to part with. Maybe like air. for something or nothing. But nobody specific that keeps not losing everything they have not. Exactly and not very clearly and neither but never both.
