1) Space is a French group playing electronic and synthpop music, founded by Didier Marouani (known also under nickname Ecama). Song "Magic Fly" from their first album was a hit in the 70's. Space released three studio albums (Magic Fly, Deliverance, Just Blue), which became very influential in their subgenre. Creative differences led Marouani to leave the band around 1980, however the rest of Space released "Deeper Zone" LP in 1981. After it disbanded in 80's, Didier Marouani continued his career as solo artist before he got the brand name "Space" in the court around 1990, re-releasing classic albums and giving a concert tour. The latest Space album was released in 2002.
2) Space are an indie/alternative dance band from Liverpool, England, who rose to prominence in the mid 90s' with hit singles such as "Female of the Species", "Me and You Versus the World", "Neighbourhood", "Avenging Angels" and "The Ballad of Tom Jones", the latter a duet with Cerys Matthews of Catatonia, and are still active today. Space pursued an eclectic sound dubbed "queasy listening" by critics, embracing electronica and sampling in their work and drawing from genres as diverse as hip hop, techno, post-punk, ska, lounge music, easy listening and film scores, the result of the differing tastes between band members. The group were also noted for their deliberately tongue-in-cheek, dark humoured lyrics inspired by films, which frequently deal with topics such as serial killers, failed relationships, social outcasts, and mental illness. Whilst Space's eclecticism and camp humour polarised listeners and critics, they have maintained a devoted cult following.
3) Jimmy Cauty (of The KLF, The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, etc. and, briefly, of The Orb) released his solo ambient album Space under the artist name Space. The album - originally released as one continuous track - is, like The KLF's landmark LP Chill Out, a "journey" album in which the product is a soundtrack of/for a trip. In Space's case, this trip is one through our solar system.
4) Space is the moniker of the Australian-born guitarist for Memento, The Hiwatts, and Nine Times Bodyweight. Space's solo project was released in September of 2006 - you can hear his work at his official site as well as his personal mySpace page.

Space Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And although he tries
It's getting to him
And if he sees just one more grin
He won't be held responsible
The city's closing in on him
And everywhere's getting smaller and smaller
And he won't be held responsible, so
Don't freak him out
Don't freak him out
Don't freak him out
Before he blows his top
Don't freak him out
Don't freak him out
Don't freak him out
Before he blows his top
Don't freak him out
No don't you freak him out
Mister Psycho
He'll blow you away
Mister Psycho
He'll blow you away
Mister Psycho
He'll blow you away
Mister Psycho
He'll blow you away
See his eyes
They're bloodshot red
And bloodshot's what you're going to be
It's not the fact that he's
Following you
It's that he's not trying to hide
And that's bothering you
The city's closing in on him
And every where's getting smaller and smaller
And his fingers are getting itchy now
And he won't be held responsible, so
Don't freak him out
Don't freak him out
Don't freak him out
Before he blows his top
Don't freak him out
Don't freak him out
Don't freak him out
Before he blows his top
Don't freak him out
No don't you freak him out
Mister Psycho
He'll blow you away
Mister Psycho
He'll blow you away
Mister Psycho
He'll blow you away
Mister Psycho
He'll blow you away
Now he's getting really close
Can you feel his breath upon
Your neck
Now he's listening to your thoughts
Now's the time to be a nervous wreck
The city's closing in on him
And every where's getting smaller and smaller
And his fingers are getting itchy now
And he won't be held responsible, so
Don't freak him out
Don't freak him out
Don't freak him out
Before he blows his top
Don't freak him out
Don't freak him out
Don't freak him out
Before he blows his top
Don't freak him out
No don't you freak him out
Mister Psycho
He'll blow you away
Mister Psycho
He'll blow you away
Mister Psycho
He'll blow you away
Mister Psycho
He'll blow you away

Line by Line Meaning
All these people are laughing at him
He's being made fun of by a group of people
And although he tries
He's attempting to handle the situation
It's getting to him
The situation is becoming too much for him to handle
And if he sees just one more grin
If he sees one more person laughing at him
He won't be held responsible
He may react violently and not feel accountable for his actions
The city's closing in on him
The urban environment is becoming claustrophobic for him
And everywhere's getting smaller and smaller
He's feeling increasingly confined in his surroundings
And his fingers are getting itchy now
He's getting agitated and restless
Don't freak him out
Don't provoke or agitate him further
Before he blows his top
Before he loses control of his temper
Mister Psycho
A deranged individual
He'll blow you away
He may potentially harm or kill you
See his eyes
Notice the expression in his eyes
They're bloodshot red
His eyes are red, possibly indicating anger or lack of sleep
And bloodshot's what you're going to be
If you don't back off, you'll be in the same state as him
It's not the fact that he's
It's not just the fact that he's following you
Following you
He may be stalking or following you
It's that he's not trying to hide
He's not trying to conceal his actions
And that's bothering you
This is causing you concern or alarm
Now he's getting really close
He's approaching you closely
Can you feel his breath upon
You can sense his breath on
Your neck
The back of your neck
Now he's listening to your thoughts
He's being intrusive and invasive
Now's the time to be a nervous wreck
This is a time to feel extremely anxious or agitated
