"The Year Of Fifty Nine" lyrics
It was the strangest sight you could ever see
Way back when I was only three
Not long off my mother's knee
The year of fifty nine
It flew up in the sky like a spinning wheel
Never seen before, it was some big deal
Now you won't believe but it was really real
The year of fifty nine
People ran indoors, others hit the floors
Something's come from Mars
'Cross the streets in town
Stopping in their cars
The year of fifty nine
Like a TV screen or a movie dream
In the clouds, interstellar beam
Well, a metal man and a deadly plan
The year of fifty nine
Oh the paper said, centre spread
Maybe Sputnik led from those reds
In this market town something was going down
The year of fifty nine
People ran indoors, others hit the floors
Something's come from Mars
'Cross the streets in town
Stopping in their cars
The year of fifty nine
Old Dan Dare on the radio
Was he flying in? Could he save the show?
Then it disappeared, so we'd never know
The year of fifty nine
It was the strangest sight you could ever see
Way back when I was only three
Not long off my mother's knee
The year of fifty nine
Way back when I was only three
Not long off my mother's knee
The year of fifty nine
It flew up in the sky like a spinning wheel
Never seen before, it was some big deal
Now you won't believe but it was really real
The year of fifty nine
People ran indoors, others hit the floors
Something's come from Mars
'Cross the streets in town
Stopping in their cars
The year of fifty nine
Like a TV screen or a movie dream
In the clouds, interstellar beam
Well, a metal man and a deadly plan
The year of fifty nine
Oh the paper said, centre spread
Maybe Sputnik led from those reds
In this market town something was going down
The year of fifty nine
People ran indoors, others hit the floors
Something's come from Mars
'Cross the streets in town
Stopping in their cars
The year of fifty nine
Old Dan Dare on the radio
Was he flying in? Could he save the show?
Then it disappeared, so we'd never know
The year of fifty nine
It was the strangest sight you could ever see
Way back when I was only three
Not long off my mother's knee
The year of fifty nine
