Space Oddity

《Space Oddity》是大衞·鮑伊為人所知的第一首歌。理想主義的喪失，不可理喻的幻想，金光閃閃的緊身衣，體液般曖昧滑膩的旋律，以及收斂了毒品音樂一切氣質的早期合成器……那時候沒有性取向，反對風格，從Lou Reed和伊基·波普那裏借來一頂美國朋克帽子的大衞·鮑伊，是因為什麼都不管不顧，於是可以讓氣道衝到天上去的嶙峋青年。

這首歌曲還被用於《老友記》和《白日夢想家》和《使命召喚：無限戰爭》的首款預告片中

本歌曲MV由Mick Rock拍攝於1972年12月。

And may God's love

Liftoff

Be with you

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
