I'm searching for the full words to a sond entitled 'The Man in the Moon'.
The first verse begins as follows :
    I was reading today, they discovered a way
    To escape from the earth - it's the birth of an eon
    We can fly to the stars - make the far planets ours
    But they can't take the Man from the Moon.

Bram Tayor and Marilyn Middleton-Pollock both perform this song but I would love to see the full words written out.

YES!! So would I - apparently written by "Spurlock" - it's on Fellside's 25 years celebration double CD "Flash Company" - any takers?!
Cheers! R-J

I believe it's the one posted in this thread. Says Marilyn M-P. wrote it.

What a lovely, wistful song. If you like this, you should check out Mudcat's own McGrath of Harlow's "A Strange Conversation".

I guess this is NOT Roll your leg over, roll your leg over, roll your leg over the man in the moon, which is a great song I once heard a drunken New Englander positively *belting* out one hot summer night in Medford...
