still gettin used to this new drive

just

point it at an object in space and

we go into orbit around it

with some twists

+++

fucked up

last week and

aimed at a little moon

off from my target and

when i woke up six hours later

cause i was spinnin so fast

when i arrived

i blacked out and

th ship had time to

throw th fulla rray of sensors

at th two hundred metre
orb

we were orbiting and

it was a treasure trove

almost solid metal

i threw th co-ordinants in th tank and

ten minutes later

this huge ship

just appeared

all mouth and

just ate th fuckin thing

cash of course

bit of black money never hurt anybody

+++

made up for th headache

which i slept off at th pirate raft

+++

bout a month ago
i

poppe dintoa n orbit

in mid transit

thousand sof ships make that passage

every day and

i

+++
system of a down
'question!'
+++

find myself orbiting
somehting huge and

totally black

+++

wot th fuck ?

had one too many bongs before we launched

bit diorientated

swear i was lined up on a

star

+++

read th panel and

i'm a bit past halfway
to my destination but

it's fully

thirty seven light yrs that way

+++

must have some fuckin gravitation

landed me

+++

course

five bongs later

i figure out
it's a dyson sphere

size of a
solar system

and one ball

+++

searched for th entrance cause

we've never cracked one

+++
oasis
'wonderwall'
+++

cant even peer in it
psychically

which is fucked right

+++

but fate

doesnt have a habit

of droppin me places

i cant use

+++

there's gotta be a way in

+++

i know u've got plains and

seas and

mountains

inside that globe

i can see their relief map

written scroll like on th outside

have ya sealed yrselves in ?

+++

is it travelling ?

everything is travelling

+++

i try a psychic hail and

i get a greeting back but

not emotional

almost machine like and yet

not unfriendly

just

uncaring

+++

+++

my apologies

u huge hole in space

my ship was attracted to your bulk

my job is finding blue planets

u have seas

+++

ah cmon guys

we gotta have places to steal water from

+++

even th filth

put th water locations

in th tank

+++

so many ships
had collisions with

big rocks in

free space

droppin into orbits

around mad little planets

frozen solid

+++

find where th fucker is headed and

stick it in th tank

so th ship knows

where that thing was last headed

+++

where are you headed u big bastard

u're about to travel thru human space and

i wont be th last

to drop into orbit around u

+++
nirvana
'come as you are'
+++

we're too rapacious to come as we are

why our last name is pig

not that u'll hear it from me

+++

ya cant last forever
inside yr sphere man

th sun
u got trapped inside

will burn out one day

and yr psychics will make religion about

nightfall

+++

we've seen it before

+++

knowledge

we also seek

other than yr resources

of which we have plenty

+++

so

some of every species plays pirate

+++

sorry
i'm an inbetweener

+++

something about my birth

cusp id

+++

u've met q before ?

+++
harvey danger
'flagpole sitta'
+++

we'll play again

+++

yr location
goes in th tank

and yr course
and i informed th agency

+++

they exchange greetings but

that;s about it

+++

something will

come out to orbit it at

intervals

+++

and leave some cameras

on my exit

+++

point and click

but

some of th things

ya find yrself orbiting

think quick

mine

this hunk of rock is mine

+++

i'll just call a mining ship

that's cruisin somewhere out his way

th jaws of death

+++

grab my spotters fee and

fuck off basically

+++

but i liek to kick back and

have a bong or two and

watch

+++

th rock goes in one end

and out th other comes a huge

4 beam

that just extends
and extends

till its built th keel

sorry

th backbone

of another huge ship

this puppie's gettin big

he's havin trouble gettin aligned

+++

munch

+++

i look at th size of th

navy ships and

have just as much awe and wonder

as th common gawker

i know it;s mostly empty space

flown a ship inside one

+++

it cost me
th location

of three prime blue planets
but i'm a curious soul

+++

wanted to yack to th

free livin humans

livin inside th destroyer

+++

they keep moving

th bases

th military

inside th ship

everything is in motion

+++
oasis
'fucking in the bushes'
+++

he tells me it's

23 thousand and seventy
kilometres long

and i shake my head

all mounted on one 4 way beam and

it's lot bigger on th outside
than what it contains

+++

an enemy cant

figure out

what to attack on th fuckin thing

it's so big

fat enough to

sit ouside yr planets moon and

block th sun

+++

massive enough to have

it;s own gravity spot

+++

if ya can find th fucker

+++

keeps moving

+++
ben cullum
'these are the days/i get a kick out of you'
+++

got bored

of watchin human space naval scare tactics and

went back to

lookin for blue planets

+++

so many stars we havent

flown to yet

it'll always be this way

+++

99 times in a hundred

i pick a star our by eye

and th computer tells me

it;s one no-one has ever visited

i pay good money to

both th pirates and
th empire

for their tracks

all th blue planet hunters do

and that one in a hundred

i fly to anyway

why have u caught my eye ?

+++
mory kante
'yeke yeke'
+++

ok folks
th psychic cops are here

+++

a little border dispute

+++

which i got dragged into as

interpreter

as usual

+++

think of me as a concilliator

when i finish

both sides will hate my guts

+++
marcy playground
'sex and candy'
+++

somehow

i think i'll come out of this deal

with another blue planet

to sell to th continental marijuana growers

+++

but i hand enough to th man

he lets me exist

+++

and i take a cut

everywhere

+++
gorillaz
'dare'
+++

my mate will

divert soem of th

shit flowin from th

space cities

th excess

which they're not
proud of

and dump it

on this pristine

blue planet

and then another mate will

plant continental marijuana on it

grows liek a

a weed

but suitably genetically engineered

it grows into trees

and grass

and a host of other things

to things they;ve done to you

u humble

weed

+++

till it owns th planet

+++

and then

th space hippies arrive

for th harvest festival man

then we sell it

after harvesting

and bio fixing

to the man or

whoever else needs a planet

+++

i'm averaging fifteen a week though

so my forever eyes are

just fine thank you

+++

'the other side'
+++

i'll see you on the other side - lyric

+++

it's more when i sing to you

while looking at u

and u sing back

+++

magic in th psychic singing

and all that witchdoctor training

+++

singer of my tribe stuff and

my tribe is scattered

across th heavens

+++

close my eyes and

sing

and when th

harmony hits

i stop turning my head

while spinning in th cabin

and stop

dea dins pace

and open my eyes

there

+++
the ferrets
'dont fall in love'
+++

my jpb though

entails me

looking at th other ones too

th ones that throw

bum notes

so they can be investigated

yeah sure

they arent first in though

+++

it's when

a whole phrase of

music

comes back

distorted and

mangled

that th psychic radar goes

fuckin bam

umm

makin some phone calls before i wander in there

+++

it's a dyson sphere

and a big one

+++

a black hole

if ever i saw one

+++

no man

it's suckin matter in at th poles

+++

+++

we put th cameras a long way away

and real old technology

film

+++

i know how yr feeding yr little sun

and where yr exhaust is goin

that is one big space vessel

+++

ancient technology

+++

fusion

+++

our drives

take us from
one orbit to another

almost instantaneous

th breadth of th galaxy is a heartbeat away

+++

and yr not interested in our drive

how curious

we've sold to many species

+++

th universe is large

plenty for all

+++

'boxing'
+++

all or nothing
sorry

all is nothing
just stating a universal truth

+++

never thought i;d see

a spaceship

that dwarfed

one of those navy destroyers

with th fuckin huge battering ram

makes em look like toys

+++

dont think they'll float one out to it

+++

not what rocks
can i throw down it;s gullet

till th fucker chokes

+++

sorry man
dont really mean ya any harm

unless ya mean us some

+++

i just think out loud

+++
james blunt
'goodbye my lover'
+++

yeah u can have
three planets off me
fr yr quota this week

young fella

u're just a lazy young fuck boy

cant ya find planets
while cavortin around th galaxy

with three redheads

it is possible

+++

i'll have to visit his mother
oen of these days

and pay my respects
i dont mind that he looks liek me

but my hair
in blonde

it jusnt doesnt look right

+++
the red hot chilli peppers
'track no05'
+++

he'll go walkabout on em
and turn his head back to work for a while

and
just liek his old man he'll

wander into unknown space

+++

th pot of gold
at th end of

a long trail of black
just reach out and

feel for it
open th eyes

thats; where we're goin computer

+++

a different mining ship

this one hunting

gold

how do ya liek this rock fellas ?

+++

i was unconscious for

a week

+++
city high
'15 will get you 20'(you dont me)
+++

wot it though

even th bangs on th head

+++

i didnt know me

spinning around this
golden ball

th ships lights

reflected back

at my windscreen and

th ship's keeping me alive but

we're in unknown space

she cant just hop

outta here

gotta see
th target

a blind jump

can take ya so far

ya know nothing

+++

th computer knows nothing

th only way home

is to find home

+++

it might be

five hundred light yrs

in that direction

or that one

th secret is not to panic

light a bong

get mellow

put some good music on

and just spin

+++
travis
'why does it always rain on me'
+++

i said

be mellow

+++

why ya travel
with an old hand

for a bit
after yr training

apprentice

+++

yeah man

we point at that star but

sometimes we ened up

just slighlty askew and

slip by it by
a couple million million light yrs

those tracks have to be found

u signed up

+++

hey i'm alive

+++

i always find my way home

+++

so they

dropped ya in th forest

stoned and

disorientated

ya walk in and

then have a huge drug session and

u have to find yr way out

+++
the who
'magic bus'
+++

is how i learned

soem things never change

cept u carried a transponder

and a phone

in my day

we didnt even carrya water bottle

they;re gettin soft

+++

nah man
i give a fuck

long as ya find planets

and find yr way home

+++

when th shit hits th fan
trust yr magic

it;s wot ya trained it for
survival

+++

th star behind th star

that calls u from

+++
bjork
'human behaviour'
+++

behind another star

+++

with experience
u'll post warnings

before jumping to them
just a note in yr blog

before goin out to explore

sittin on th outernet
for some inquisitive soul

to read
if ya never come back

+++

no way man i pay researchers

to find em

th ones that
didnt coem back

but posted their trail
befor leaving

part of my job

+++

if it's that far

ya cant send a robot

it'll never come home

a human has to

eyeball it

when we know th track

isnt a visible object

to our biggest telescopes

and feel it out and

have th moxie to point at it and go

click

+++

dont worry about it

ya cant live forever

+++
led zeppelin
'gallows pole'
+++

see
even th music agrees

ok man
i am psychic

it is cheating

+++

yr homework is to
look at these three stars

and give me yr evaluation on each

at nine tomorrow morning

then i'll do th same thing

but with u watching and

we'll compare notes

and then we'll go check em out

+++

sing as loud as ya liek man
this is th co pilots cabin

i wont be able to hear ya
unelss youv;e got yr room on

public

ya got a nice voice
i aint complaining

+++

next week
i'll

see if we can sing a
harmony together at a star

got a couple of doozies
to share with ya

+++

see ya in th morning
