Story Behind The Song
The humour in this song is a tribute to the humour in all blues music. Its laughing about life that makes the hard things bearable!
Song Description
The singer is frustrated and compares this to two famous people who never quite made it to the top, Michael Collins was left behind in the spaceship while Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong landed on the moon. Roslyn Franklyn spent years photographing DNA but couldn't work out the double helix - the secret of life the universe and everything. Both incredibly accomplished people but they didn't quite make it. People don't know about them. And love can be frustrating like that - everything is right, but something just doesn't click for some reason?

Lyrics
Verse (light)
I feel like Michael Collins
Left out and all alone
Been right around the moon and back
And then come straight back home
I?m in love with an angel
But I never get to fly
I?m sitting here all alone,
And God alone knows why
Chorus (heavy)
Cause its you that makes it happen, Yes its you that makes me feel
Its you I want to be with, Its you that makes it real
When I?m alive and I can take off, See me rocket through the sky
Together we don?t need wings, Cause you and me can fly.
I feel like Rosalind Franklyn
Like I somehow miss the point
Like the answers right in front of me
And I always disappoint
So come on help me out here
Cause I know its what you do
You?re the key to my conundrum
So just give me a clue
M8
Let?s work it out
Hear me out
Let it out, relieve me
Let me in
Let?s begin
I love you believe me
