Она упаковала мои вещи ночью, перед взлётом.
Час, девять утра,
И я буду высоко,
Как тот воздушный змей тогда.
И вся эта тишина
Мне непонятна.
Это просто моя работа,
Пять дней в неделю —
Космонавт,
Космонавт.
Много, много времени
Много, много времени
About
(given it was penned during the 1970s drug era, people can still see it serve as an extended metaphor comparing fame to space travel – turning into a rock star made Elton John feel like he was floating in space! Free!)
Ask us a question about this song
Ask a question *
What have the artists said about the song?
In a 2016 YouTube video, Elton John said,
It was a pretty easy song to write the melody to, because it’s a song about space, so it’s quite a spacious song.
Bernie Taupin, on the same video, said,
It was inspired by a story by Ray Bradbury, from his book of science fiction short stories called The Illustrated Man. In that book there’s a story called ‘The Rocket Man,’ which was about how astronauts in the future would become sort of an everyday job. So I kind of took that idea and ran with it.
What did Elton John say about this song and the progression of his career?
In a 2013 interview with Rolling Stone, Elton John said:
The first huge single that I had. ‘Your Song’ was a hit; ‘Rocket Man’ was a big hit. It had an acoustic guitar on it, it was a different song for me – it was a simpler sound. I’d moved into a house, I was becoming successful, I was so confident, musically. Everything was to do with the music – touring, recording, radio interviews, photo shoots and ‘What are we going to do next?’»

Rocket man
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I’m a rocket man, rocket man
Burning out his fuse up here alone
Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it’s cold as hell
And there’s no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don’t understand
It’s just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man
