The Right Stuff (2007 Remastered Version) Lyrics

I don't feel fear or panic
Nothing brings me down
I'm an aerospaceage warrior
I fly sideways through sound
My reflexes and reactions
Are as fast as a machine
I'm the right stuff, baby
The right stuff
I'm the right stuff, baby
The right stuff
The right stuff, baby
The right stuff
Watch my trail

When the dial needle flickers
Around mach 1 or 2
And something happens suddenly
I know exactly what to do
My hands move without thinking
And my feet like lightning too
I'm the right stuff baby
The right stuff
I'm the right stuff baby
The right stuff
I'm the right stuff baby
The right stuff
Watch my trail
Watch my trail
Watch my trail

My nerves are made of steel
My nerves are made of steel
My nerves are made of steel


My nerves are made of steel
My nerves are made of steel
And my eyes are eagle sharp
And what would freak
The average man
Does not affect my heart
Not even if this jinxy jet
Should shake itself apart
I'm the right stuff baby
The right stuff
The right stuff baby
The right stuff
The right stuff baby
The right stuff
Watch my trail
Watch my trail
Watch my trail

I don't feel fear or panic
Nothing brings me down
I'm an aerospaceage warrior
I can fly sideways through sound
My reflexes and reactions
Are as fast as a machine
I'm the right stuff, baby
The right stuff
The right stuff, baby
The right stuff
The right stuff, baby
The right stuff
Watch my trail

Robert Calvert

Robert Calvert is best known as the on-off frontman of influential rock group Hawkwind. Robert was born in 1945 in Pretoria, South Africa. His family moved to Kent in England in 1947. He grew up wanting to be a fighter pilot but ended up a writer, an enthusiastic participant in the 1960s London psychedelia subculture.
After meeting Hawkwind co-founder Dave Brock in 1970, Robert joined the underground icons as resident poet, reading his work amid strobes and light cascades on stage.
Seeking a break from touring, Robert left Hawkwind in 1973 and recorded two solo albums, Captain Lockheed and the Starfighters (featuring Brian Eno and Arthur Brown) and Lucky Leif and the Longships (produced by Eno). In 1975 he rejoined Hawkwind as their frontman and main lyricist, staying on for three years before leaving for the second time in 1978. Through the end of the 70s and into the 80s up to his death from a heart attack in 1988 he produced numerous poetic and musical works, as well as short stories and novels.
Robert is believed to have been bi-polar and spent much of his adult life in states of mania, depression or recovering in mental institutions. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
