[G][G5]

[Verse 1]
Been [G5]out all night,
I needed a bite, I thought I'd [G]put [G5]a record on
I reached for the one with the ultra- modern label,
and [G]wondered [G5]where the light had gone
It had a futur[G]istic [A]cover,
lifted straight from buck roger[A5]s
The [Ab]record was so black it had to be [A5]a con
[A]The[Ab] autochanger switched
as I filled my sandwich
And futuristic sounds warbled off and

[Interlude 1]
on
[G5][G][G5][G][C][F5][G5][G]

[Verse 2]
[G5]The black hit of s[G]pace
[C]It's the one without a face
It's [F5]the one that doesn't fit
[G]You [G5]can only s[G]ee t[G5]he flip
[G]The [G5]black hit of space[G]
Suck[C]ing in the human race
How can it stay at the [Cm]top
[Eb]When it's swallowed all the shops

[Interlude 2]

[G][C][F5][Fm][F5][G][G5][G]
[G5]As

[Verse 3]
the song climbed the charts,
[G]the[G5] othe[G]rs dis[C]appeared
Til [F5]there was nothing but it left to [G]buy[G5]
It got to number [G]one,
then in[C]to minus figures
Though nobody could
[Cm]understand [Eb]why

[Verse 4]
[G]The [G5]black hit of space[G]
[C]It's the one without a face
It's [F5]the one that doesn't [Fm]fit[F5]
[G]You can [G5]only see the flip
[G]The black hit of [G5]space[G]
Suck[C]ing in the human race
How can it stay at the top
[Eb]When it's swallowed all

[Interlude 3]
the shops
[Eb][C][Cm][Ab]
[C][Eb]

[Verse 5]
I couldn't stand [Eb]this bland sound any [C]more
so I walked towards my deck to turn it off
All I could see was the b-
side of the disc
Which had assumed a doughnut shape
with the label on the out[Ab]side rim
I [Ab]reached for the arm which was
less than one micron long
But [C]weighed more than Sat
[G]urn and time stood [C]still
I knew I had to escape [Fm]but every time I tried to flee,
the record was in [G]front of me

[Verse 6]
The [G]black hit of space
[C]Get James Burke on the case
[Fm]It's the hit that's never gone
[G]Time stops when you put it [on]
