The men in balloons were floating through space
Gliding ‘long motorways, running a race
Sails in the sunset, fireworks explode (explode)
Motor planes plough through a night on the road (road)

Thinking of people, places I've been
Flashback’s the name of a child I had seen

Annette was a child of God, loving from the start
Selling little books for Krishna, flowers ‘round her heart
Annette made me happy, baby, Annette made me smile
Brought a breath of truth into this mad world for awhile

Thinking of people, places I've been
Flashback's the name of a man I had seen

The man who found God in his spacesuit
Was the man who found God on the Moon

You should have seen him flip, he nearly lost his grip
It was a total trip

(Hey-hey-hey, hey-hey-hey)
(Hey-hey-hey, hey-hey-hey, hey-hey-hey)

It was a spiritual awakening, a lunar landscape happening
Once in the life of the man who found God on the Moon

You should have seen him flip, he nearly lost his grip
It was a total trip

The men in balloons were floating through space
Gliding ‘long motorways, running a race
Sails in the sunset, fireworks explode (explode)
Motor planes plough through a night on the road (road)

Thinking of people, places I’ve been
Flashback's the name of a child I had been

(Alright now, go now, now!)

Annette made me happy, baby, Annette made me smile
Brought a breath of truth into this mad world for awhile
Annette made me happy, baby, Annette made me smile
Brought a breath of truth into this mad world for awhile
Annette made me happy, baby, Annette made me smile
Brought a breath of truth into this mad world for awhile
Annette made me happy, baby, Annette made me smile
(So there you are then, quite a difference. Yes, the answer is...LP)
Brought a breath of truth into this mad world for awhile
Annette made me happy, baby, Annette made me smile
Brought a breath of truth into this mad world for awhile
Annette made me happy, baby, Annette made me smile
Brought a breath of truth...

Mike McGear

Peter Michael McCartney (born January 7, 1944) is perhaps best known for being Paul McCartney’s younger brother—this explains his use of the pseudonym, “Mike McGear,” to differentiate himself from his world-famous sibling.

He is a British performance artist and music photographer. Among his various aliases, Beatles manager Brian Epstein also gave him the nickname “Flash Harry,” due to his constant use of a flash camera in the 1960s.
