My Fantastic Past

My Fantastic Past – a true story. Well, maybe not quite all of it.

Me & Hal on the cover of Sounds - My Fantastic Past

I rubbed shoulders with the rich and famous
I went to parties like you never seen
You know the VU were there
And Marilyn Monroe
I got talkin’ with the Angel of Desire

Like he was in the film
Like he was in the movie
My Fantastic Past!

I got a letter from Starman
Like he was in ’73
He said he wanted to meet me
Invited me down to Cheyne Walk
He said, “Hey Lou, come and join my band”

I’ll make you into a star
He made me into a star
My Fantastic Past!

I got a chance to go up in the sky
I went up in a silver machine
I looked down on the blue, blue planet
And saw it spinning in space
I saw you on the blue, blue planet

You saw me on TV
That was me on the moon
Rich came too
Rich & Lou on the moon!

Moonwalkin’ we were moonwalkin’
Nightclubbin’ we were nightclubbin’

My Fantastic Past!
