Ellie Rowsell on twitter (about Planet Hunter): “I wrote this after I got mash up one New Year’s Eve Lol”
Ellie also said on Radio X that it´s about “the feeling when you never wanna go to bed and don´t want the night to end”
[Verse 1]
A moment's happiness
Under the influence
I tried all night to recreate
And it was never ever gonna last long
And it was only ever gonna go wrong

And if you're with me, yeah
You can come, yeah, along (Ooh-ooh)
[Chorus]
Am I a planet hunter
Or a brave deviator?
I left my mind behind in 2015
Am I a planet hunter
Or a brave deviator?
I left my mind behind in 2015
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Outro]
A moment's happiness
A moment's madness
