Space Oddity is the second studio album by David Bowie. Originally released as a self-titled album in the UK and as Man of Words/Man of Music in the US in 1969, it was later renamed to Space Oddity with the album's reissue in 1972 following the release of The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Regarding its mix of folk, balladry and prog rock, NME editors Roy Carr and Charles Shaar Murray have said, "Some of it belonged in '67 and some of it in '72, but in 1969 it all seemed vastly incongruous.

Space Oddity
David Bowie Lyrics
Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground Control to Major Tom (ten, nine, eight, seven, six)
Commencing countdown, engines on (five, four, three, two)
Check ignition and may God's love be with you (one, lift off)
This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do
Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much she knows
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you-
Here am I floating 'round my tin can
Far above the moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Ground control to Major Tom
Ground control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground control to Major Tom (ten, nine, eight, seven)
Commencing countdown, engines on (six, five, four, three)
Check ignition, and may God's love be with you (two, one, lift off)
This is ground control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
This is Major Tom to ground control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in the most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue, and there's nothing I can do
Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows
Ground control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you?
Here am I floating 'round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue, and there's nothing I can do. END.

Greetings Stranger! Hard to believe someone would scroll all the way down here. Unless those that control time and space change it, there's nothing left beyond this comment, I'm sorry to say. Nothing can be added either. Before you head back up, why not stay for a nice cup of tea? I make a pretty mean cup if I do say myself.
Goodbye now.
Be safe friend.
Don't you dare go hollow.
Maybe I'll get the privilege of meeting you again.
Maybe on another world.
Maybe in another time.

This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade

Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?

This is not song ....
This is timeless masterpiece

It reminds me of my childhood 30 years ago. I was like 7 or 8 years old when my fave uncle showed me this song. I always think about him if I hear this song. He is still one of the important person in my life, my uncle and Bowie...
