  • You are what you are
    I don't matter to anyone
    But Hollywood legends
    Will never grow old
    And all of what's hidden
    Well, it will never grow cold

    But I lost myself when I lost you
    But I still got jazz
    When I've got those blues
    And I lost myself when I lost you
    And I still get trashed, darling
    When I hear your tunes

    But you are who you are
    I won't change you for anything
    For when you are crazy
    I'll let you be bad
    I'll never dare change thee
    To what you are not

    But I lost myself when I lost you
    But I still got jazz
    When I've got those blues
    I lost myself and I lost you too
    And I still get trashed, baby
    When I hear your tunes

    I put the radio on
    Hold you tight in my mind
    Isn't strange that
    You're not here with me
    But I know the light's on in the television
    Trying to transmit, can you hear me
    Ground control to Major Tom
    Can you hear me all night long
    Ground control to Major Tom

    Well I lost myself when I lost you
    But I still got jazz when I've got the blues
    I lost myself and I lost you too
    And I still get trashed, honey
    When I hear your tunes

    Mmmm mmm mmm
    Mmmm mmm mmm
    Mmmm mmm mmm

  • Chuck R from New York, NyDavid Bowie's half brother is named Terrence "Terry" Burns. Considering the interpolation of "Space Oddity," I don't think the title is a coincidence.
  • Roberta Trevisan Marques De Souza from Sao PauloI think this song is about Terrence Stamp.
