Sleeping Satellite

Posted on October 4, 2008October 18, 2015 By Doriano 2 Comments on Sleeping Satellite

Tasmin Archer isn’t well-known in the USA but she’s been a pop star for many years world-wide. My favorite song is the first one that I ever heard from her called “Sleeping Satellite” (1992).


Sleeping Satellite

I blame you for the moonlit sky
and the dream that died
with the eagles' flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
when I wonder why
are the seas still dry?
don't blame this sleeping satellite

Did we fly to the moon too soon
did we squander the chance
in the rush of the race
the reason we chase is lost in romance
and still we try
to justify the waste
for a taste of man's greatest adventure

I blame you for the moonlit sky
and the dream that died
with the eagles' flight
blame you for the moonlit nights
when I wonder why
are the seas still dry?
don't blame this sleeping satellite

have we lost what it takes to advance?
have we peaked too soon?
if the world is so green
then why does it scream under a blue moon
we wonder why
If the earth's sacrificed
for the price of it's greatest treasure

I blame you for the moonlit sky
and the dream that died
with the eagles' flight
blame you for the moonlit nights
when I wonder why
are the seas still dry?
don't blame this sleeping satellite

and when we shoot for the stars
what a giant step
have we got what it takes
to carry the weight of this concept
or pass it by like a shot in the dark
miss the mark with a sense of adventure

I blame you for the moonlit sky
and the dream that died
with the eagles' flight
blame you for the moonlit nights
when I wonder why
are the seas still dry?
don't blame this sleeping satellite

    That album ‘Great Expectations’ is amazing from beginning to end. I’ve owned it at least twice. Need to get it for a third time. The best tracks, in my opinion, are ‘Lords Of The New Church’ and ‘Somebody’s Daughter’. Thanks for reminding of the coolness that Tasmin Archer brought, even if America didn’t quite get it.
