Time for some music, a nice obvious tune first. Most songs about space use the heavens as a metaphor for earthly matters generally affairs of the heart. But this slice of poppy organ drive baggy delight, from a close perusal of the lyrics seems to be just a celebration of the world’s biggest and most complicated flying machine. Clint Boons trade mark organ rifts rise and fall throughout the tune and the only sour note is the rather pedestrian drumming.
Saturn five has special place for me being a perennial indie club favourite, it’s the soundtrack to many a good night especially in the unlikely New York New York which is down on the left just off the Ramblas. Enjoy!
Ps: Clint and Tom and the boys had some other astral tinged tracks: Party In The Sky, Pluto man, Paper Moon.

Lady take a ride on a Zeke 64,
Jerry wants to be a rockette
That's a popular misconception,
says we haven't seen anything yet
Laying down the lifeless corpse of President 35
The lady crying by his side is
the most beautiful woman alive
Saturn 5, you really were the greatest sight
Stretching out on a summer's day
Houston, it's calling me back to her
An Eagle lands, and a planet full of people raises its hands
All hail the men who will walk up in heaven today
Monochrome TV,
all the things you ever represented to me
Take me once more, take me to heaven again
Saturn 5, you really were the greatest sight
Stretching out on a summer's day
Houston, it's calling me back to her
