NOTE: "It's really a total fluke. I was just sitting down and started to sing anything and some words came out. And I got this whole idea... Well, the bit on the second side came first... And I got this idea about a fellow sitting in a cathedral waiting for this transport from space that was going to pick him up and take him on a trip. The guy is a bit blotto and he starts thinking about a 'good friend of mine studies the stars. Venus and Mars are alright tonight.' And the next bit was: 'Your ruling star is in ascendancy today', but 'Venus and Mars are alright' was better, it flipped off the tongue." (Paul McCartney, 1975)
