A flashing chrome-man lighting up the night
Heading downtown invited
Past city lights, I see the moon – igniting memories
Tonight I’m losing track of time and place
I’m back in Space, when he* was coming down the stairs

Tonight I’ll be like hope, show me and I’ll do it, what seems impossible
Tonight I’ll be the rocket man and make it look incredible
Just like 40 years ago
Still, it’s a thrill to walk in the unknown without fear
Tonight I’m being at the edge of the human frontier

He brought his Eagle** to a touchdown phase
with 30 seconds left to crash and fade
The guys at Houston*** got their breath in pace
Around the world folks heard him tell his words
Our destiny, what’s happening to history?

Tonight I’ll be like hope, show me and I’ll do it, what seems impossible
Tonight I’ll be the rocket man and make it look incredible
Just like 40 years ago
Still, it’s a thrill to walk in the unknown without fear
Tonight I’m being at the edge of the human frontier

Woh-oh-oh
Ooh

I wanna find what Mankind is unaware of outside Mars
I wanna go to those undiscovered corners of the stars

Tonight I’ll be like hope, show me and I’ll do it, what seems impossible
Tonight I’ll be the rocket man and make it look incredible
Just like 40 years ago
Still, it’s a thrill to walk in the unknown without fear
Tonight I’m being at the edge of the human frontier


*Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon
**the name of the first manned Earth vehicle to land on the moon
***NASA base for the moon landing

tonight i'll be like armstrong säger han väl ändå!

Tonight I feel like Armstrong and I'm doing what seems impossible.

Med reservation för att det kan vara "I'll be like ..."... men Armstrong ska va med.

Kul text. Hyllning till första månlandningen. Häftig låt!

Oj den här texten får korrektur läsas... vem har tittat på denna? :-)
rätt ska vara enligt ovan "Neil"

Tonight I'll BE like Armstrong, I'm doing what seems impossible

"Our destiny was stepping into history"

I think this might be the last line in the second verse.

Så här skall det nog vara

A flashing comet lighting up the night
Heading downtown invited
Past city lights, a silver moon igniting memories
Tonight I’m losing track of time and place
I’m back in Space, when he was coming down the stairs

Tonight I’ll be like Armstrong and I’m doing what seems impossible
Tonight I’ll be the rocket man and make it look incredible
Just like 40 years ago
Still, it’s a thrill to walk in the unknown without fear
Tonight I’m being at the edge of, human frontier

He brought his Eagle to a touchdown phase
with 30 seconds left to crash and fade
The guys at Houston got their breath in pace
Around the world folks heard him tell his words
of destiny, whilst stepping into history.

Tonight I’ll be like Armstrong and I’m doing what seems impossible
Tonight I’ll be the rocket man and make it look incredible
Just like 40 years ago
Still, it’s a thrill to walk in the unknown without fear
Tonight I’m being at the edge of, human frontier

Oh-woah-oh oh-woah-oh-ohh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh-ohh-ohh

I wanna find what Mankind is unaware of outside Mars
I wanna go to those undiscovered corners of the stars

Tonight I’ll be like Armstrong and I’m doing what seems impossible
Tonight I’ll be the rocket man and make it look incredible
Just like 40 years ago
Still, it’s a thrill to walk in the unknown without fear
Tonight I’m being at the edge of human, frontier
human frontier

Utvecklingen går frammåt! Från den "gnistrande krommannen" till kometen är ju ett stort steg för mänskligheten....:)

För att inte tala om "what’s happening to history? till "whilst stepping into history".
"show me and I’ll do it" låter ju som taget ur en film med Arnold Schwartzenegger.

Men jag tror ändå det går att göra nya upptäckter i texten. Skall det verkligen vara "crash and fade"?

"Heading downtown invited
Past city lights"

Det ska vara

Heading downtown in white city lights

Ska det inte vara "climbing down the stairs"? Förlåt om jag hört tokfel nu...

A flashing comet lighting up the night
Heading downtown invited by city lights
A silver moon igniting memories
Tonight I’m losing track of a time and place
I’m back in space, when he was climbing down the stairs

Tonight I’ll be like Armstrong and I’m doing what seems impossible
Tonight I’ll be the rocket man and make it look incredible
Just like 40 years ago
Still, it’s a thrill to walk in the unknown without fear
Tonight I’m being at the edge of, human frontier

He brought his Eagle to a touchdown phase
with 30 seconds left to crash and fade (crash and fate/crash in faith?)
The guys at Houston got their breath in pace
Around the world folks heard him tell his words
of destiny, whilst stepping into history.

Tonight I’ll be like Armstrong and I’m doing what seems impossible
Tonight I’ll be the rocket man and make it look incredible
Just like 40 years ago
Still, it’s a thrill to walk in the unknown without fear
Tonight I’m being at the edge of, human frontier

Oh-woah-oh oh-woah-oh-ohh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh-ohh-ohh

I wanna find what Mankind is unaware of outside Mars
I wanna go to those undiscovered corners of the stars

Tonight I’ll be like Armstrong and I’m doing what seems impossible
Tonight I’ll be the rocket man and make it look incredible
Just like 40 years ago
Still, it’s a thrill to walk in the unknown without fear
Tonight I’m being at the edge of, human frontier
Human frontier

Detta är det jag känner känns mest rätt om något, med "crash and fade" delen som det enda jag är osäker på.

Jo, jag tycker också att det ska vara "climbing down the stairs", inte "coming down the stairs". Jag hör climbing tydligt.

I’m back in space, when he was climbing down the stairs

Tror jag inte att det är jag tror:
I’m back in space, when Neil was climbing down the stairs.

Tycker att jag hör det tydligt :-)

Det är "Tonight i feel like Armstrong and i'm doing what seems impossible", det hör man ju väll, trots piprösten.

Den första versionen var ju verkligen hemsk! Trodde nästan någon skämtade...
