lyrics

John, he likes to stare at the sun
He doesn't know why, but he just wants to be blind
John, he is a spaceman
He likes to run around the moon all night long

Simon, he is John's best friend
He doesn't know why everybody calls him Phil
Phil, his real name is Simon
He is a sad man, because he beats his wife

John, he is a spaceman
He's a strange man, because he's a blind man in space
John, he's a blind man
But he is a spaceman so I suppose it's alright now

John, he likes to play with the phone
He likes to hear the voices on the telephone
John, stares out to the stars
He hopes that someday if he makes enough wishes

John, that he won't be so blind
And that Simon will change his name by deed poll
John, he is a spaceman
He's a spaceman that's likes too to do some spacey things

Words, they don't fly out of John's mouth
He's a quiet man that likes to be very quiet
John, you are a spaceman John
You are a blind man John
Your best friend is not called Philip

John, marj
Myam syep serowingma nyam syem seroy
Marj nyam syem seroy
Marj nyam syem seroy
Marj
Mmmooommem marj neym nar veres
Mre ma silbermo
Nushwe fyeow zi sip nef tepwe

John, you're a spaceman John
You're a blind man John
Your wife is a whore

John, talk to your kids John
You're losing contact John
Please don't go the other side of the moon
John, you're a spaceman John
Philip's really called Simon
You're a blind man John
Your wife's sleeping with the man next door
Jonathan John, Jonathan John
Jonathan pick up the telephone
Myarj nyam syem seroy
