“Shooting the Moon” is a track on “Of the Blue Colour of the Sky (Extra Nice Edition)”. It tells the story of indecisiveness of the “big hero”, as he calmly tells them to carry on with “shooting the moon”.
[Verse 1]
All of the astronauts, champagne in plastic cups
Waiting for the big hero to show
Outside the door, he stands, his head in his hands
And his heart in his throat
[Pre-Chorus]
What can he tell 'em now? "Sorry I let you down
Sorry it wasn't quite true"
But don't get hung up on it, just soldier on with it
And good luck with shootin' the moon
[Chorus]
Shootin' the moon
Shootin' the moon
The moon
Shootin' the moon
[Verse 2]
All of the principals, generals, admirals
And the podium lit with the spotlight
The crowd buzzing quietly, waiting expectantly
Like it's opening night
[Pre-Chorus]
What can he tell 'em now? "Sorry I let you down
Sorry it wasn't quite true"
But don't get hung up on it, just soldier on with it
And good luck with shootin' the moon
[Chorus]
Shootin' the moon
Shootin' the moon
The moon
Shootin' the moon
