Some People Call Me the Space Cowboy
“Some people call me the space cowboy
Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me Maurice.”
The song is unique while taking an unoriginal approach of joining previous lyrics together from his own songs (and the songs of other bands). The phrases “space cowboy”, “gangster of love” and “Maurice” are all references to Miller’s previous songs.
Space Cowboy was a tune from his 1969 album Brave New World. Gangster of Love is a track from his 1968 album Sailor, and Maurice is from the song Enter Maurice from his 1972 album Journey from Eden.
