about

Inspired by the only Afghan cosmonaut, Abdul Ahad Mohmand.

lyrics

You're a seventies child, with your protein pills and your future styles.
Blasting off of the iron curtain
Give one last Jersey smile before you walk down the aisle
From a centre for war production, you've crossed the miles to me

Yuri Gagarin always in a hurry
Laika and Belka and Strelka - adopted history.
Transmission incoming

Space Cadet, stay a while
Don't forget, what you left behind
On the set, come collect
Before you style
Starless and black skies
Starless and black skies

9 days in the piece of peace from the dust to the stars
With your rosary tucked into your arms
Do you think of the ones before you, the eastern cosmonauts
Blasting off from the Afghan heartland, the landlocked Argonauts

Yuri Gagarin always in a hurry
Laika and Belka and Strelka - adopted history.
Transmission incoming

Space Cadet, stay a while
Don't forget, what you left behind
On the set, come collect
Before you style
Starless and black skies
Starless and black skies

Starless and black skies
Starless and black skies
Starless and black skies
Starless and black skies
