Lyrics for Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In ... as interpreted by QueueMark

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In ... Lyrics
Ladies and gentlemen, we are floating in space

All I want in life's a little bit of love to take the pain away
Getting strong today
A giant step each day

I've been told only fools rush in
But I don't believe, I don't believe
I could still fall in love with you

I will love you till I die
And I will love you all the time
So please put your sweet hand in mine
And float in space and drift in time

All my time until I die
We'll float in space, just you and I
So please put your sweet hand in mine
And float in space and drift in time

I'll love you to death, I guess that's what you get
And I don't know where we are all going to

Love don't get stranger than this, it is what it is
And I don't know where we are all going to

Everything happens today and that's what you get
And I don't know where we are all going to

this is the best love song ever written i think.. maybe joint best with "el scorcho" by weezer. they are both very good in there own special ways.

ladies and gentlemen really stirrs something inside me though.

spiritualized are a very wonderful group of people. very. wonderful. their latest album was absolute genius. rockon.

This song is so beautiful. It just gives me warm fuzzy feelings inside--I can't even describe it.

~this song is to ghetto as tom jones is to hard rock~

anyway, this fit beautifully into vanilla sky (which i bought) along with the tracks from radiohead (everything in its right place, i might be wrong)...the chemical bros. song (where do i begin) was also good. they all give me nice memories of the movie, plus they make me tired. this song by spiritualized in particular gives me a sort of feeling of weightlessness...love it.

this song reminds me of the movie HIGH FIDELITY instead. heh. "...use someone else's words to express the way you feel..." this song helps me 'understand.'
"All I want in life's a little bit of love to take the pain away" ditto...

Is the melody based on Pachelbel's Canon? I am just realizing that. I love Pachelbel's Canon...

this song makes me teary-eyed and causes me to stare off into space and daydream. it DOES have a feeling of floating. the way the three different themes all flow together is just amazing to me.

and then there's the fact that almost everyone on this earth can relate to the lyrics "all i want in life's a little bit of love to make the pain go away" ... the feeling that if you could somehow get your grasp on just a bit of the love that seems to be everywhere, just there for the taking, you'd be ok and complete and enough ... that's a feeling that I know so well.

...representin'....midWESTSIDE. heh.

if anyone cares to be a reader, i think they got this song title from the book, SOPHIES WORLD. ( a novel about the history of philosophy, AMAZING by the way) in one chapter of the book is says exactly.. "they yell, 'LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WE ARE FLOATING IN SPACE!' but no one down there cares." such a great song and book.

This song is really great, and it fits really well into Vanilla Sky. Cameron Crowe picks really good music for his films.

An awesome love song! When I first heard it, I thought "I've heard this before...!"
Years later, I took a music appreciation class and listened to Pachelbel's Canon and put the connection together.

One of the best love songs of all time, in my opinion. When the setting is right, and you want to say the big "L" word to your significant other, have this playing in the background.

Also!
Check out the "Elvis Version" of this song. Instead of the regular lyrics, he says "Wise men say, only fools rush in, but I can't help falling in love with you"

Pretty interesting!

Wow! It's such a beautiful song. Sometimes it makes me cry. "All I want in life's a little bit of love to take the pain away" I know exactly what they're singing about!

I was actually reading "Sophie's World" when this song came out... Great book! Fantastic song! By an unbelievable band!

A little search for meaning:
Imagine, if you will for a moment, that living on the surface of the earth was like living among the fur on the back of a rabbit. The majority of us would probably prefer to nestle into the warmth and security of the fur, living out our days comfortably, naive and relatively unscathed. It is the responsibility, however, of the philosopher to make that treacherous journey out to the end of the fur, climbing higher and further, clutching desperately to each increasingly thinning stock of hair as they swing and sway wildly. The reward for all this peril, for the philosopher and for the people wiling to indulge him/her is the sight of the “great magician” as he pulls our rabbit of his hat, to be witness to the great magic trick that IS the universe and for the ability to yell back to the surface, “Ladies and Gentlemen, we are floating in space!”… For at that moment, once we’ve distanced ourselves from the safety nets of our everyday lives… Only then can we see the true nature of our surroundings and ourselves.

Something very magical is happening in this song… The truth.

wow, thanks for posting that jedicam, that was amazing... it actually describes quite well the feeling i get whenever i listen to this song. i love how each section blends together giving that amazing drifting soft quality to it. i love the imagery i get whenever i listen to it. it's like a circus dream sequence and feathers with carbonated liquid.

this song has always fit into the "carpe diem" theme, for me. "all i want in life's a little bit of love to take the pain away" pretty much sums up that mindset.

"so please put your sweet hand in mine
and float in space and drift in time,"

... as does that. =P

it's saying "hey, i don't know what's happening after today, but what i do know is we have now. please...let's enjoy it while we have it," which is my motto, these days... and my epitaph later, maybe!

besides all of that, this is one of my favorite songs ever! the first time i heard it was years ago when someone shared it with me... so it's always had a special place in my heart. *SAPPY MOMENT*
