Supersonic Rocket Ship is a single recorded by British rock band The Kinks, written by Ray Davies. It was released on 5 May 1972, in the UK, and in September of that year for its US release. 'Supersonic Rocket Ship' was also included as a track on the double LP Everybody's in Show-Biz, which was released on 25 August 1972, in the US and on 1 September in the UK. Everybody's in Show-Biz also yielded the song 'Celluloid Heroes', which, although not a hit, has become one of The Kinks' most popular songs.[1]

Key Lyrics

On my supersonic rocket ship

Nobody has to be hip

Nobody needs to be out of sight. Out of sight.

Nobody's gonna travel second class

There'll be equality

And no suppression of minorities. Well alright.

We'll take this planet, shake it round

And turn it upside down.

My supersonic rocket ship.
