Shine on Songtext

von Mike Peters

Hey Hey

I got back down to earth after two light years
And things had gone from bad to worse
A plane hijack hit the front page news
Alongside a double decker bus
Reported seen on the moon

Well I was standing naked in my cowboy boots
And a pair of Calvin Kleins hid my root
The shoppers walked by in a valium haze
Soaking up the sun and the death rays

Hey hey

Shine on planet earth and the B.B.C.
Seven oceans and M.T.V.
Light the flowers in the American dream
Elvis Presley and the Beatles scream
All the stars are shining
Shine on planet earth

As I was leaving on a space shuttle flight
I saw a dream boat sailing, passing me by
I radioed the captain, asked him who he was
He said his name was 'Bob Dylan'
I just said 'good luck'

Hey Hey

Shine on planet earth and the B.B.C.
Seven oceans and M.T.V.
Light the flowers in the American dream
Elvis Presley and the Beatles scream
All the stars are shining
Shine on planet earth

Hey Hey
All the stars are shining
Hey Hey
(Shine on) On planet earth
(Shine on) Like the BBC
(Shine on) On MTV
(Shine on) Like the seven oceans
(Shine on) On planet earth
(Shine on) And the BBC
(Shine on) M.U.F.C.
(Shine on) Like the American dream
(Shine on) On Elvis Presley
(Shine on)
