The Lego Space is a theme that features astronauts, spaceships, and extraterrestrial life. Originally introduced in 1978, it is one of the oldest and most expansive themes in Lego history, and contains over 200 individual sets. It was marketed under the Legoland banner until it became Lego System in 1992.
At least three Lego sets were released prior to so-called "Classic" Space theme, pre-dating the standard Lego minifigure. The early Space sets were limited by color selection and more specialized pieces had not yet been developed with most Lego sets of this era were composed of colorful stacked bricks. Once Lego began making individual themes in the '70s, many new parts were created and older parts began appearing in new colors.
Edguy is a heavy metal band from Fulda, Germany that was formed in 1992.
Edguy was founded in 1992 by 14-year-old students Tobias Sammet, Jens Ludwig, Dominik Storch and Dirk Sauer. The name "Edguy" was an affectionate epithet for their math teacher at the time. In 1994, the band released two demos, Evil Minded and Children of Steel. These tapes were sent to many record labels, all of whom rejected the band, believing they would be unsuccessful in the music business. Undeterred, they self released their ‘unofficial’ debut album, Savage Poetry, in 1995. They signed with AFM Records shortly after, who offered to re-release Savage Poetry with more widespread distribution. The band rejected this proposal in favour of recording a new album, Kingdom of Madness, which was released in 1997, but drummer Dominik Storch left the band shortly after. 1998 saw the release of their second album, Vain Glory Opera, with friend Frank Lindenthal filling in on drums. This album helped expose Edguy to a wider audience, thanks in part to guest appearances from Timo Tolkki (Stratovarius) and Hansi Kürsch (Blind Guardian). The band was joined by new drummer Felix Bohnke and bassist Tobias ‘Eggi’ Exxel later that year, allowing Tobias Sammet to solely focus on vocals (he had previously played bass as well handling vocal duties).
nobody knows where he comes from, nobody knows who he is.
nobody knows what his name is, nobody knows where he lives.
handcuffs and a truncheon, with a badge and a gun
he's a robot policeman, and he's bustin' you just for fun
[Chorus]
Tony he's from the space police, programmed to destroy to keep the peace
made of metal he'll never stop, Tony is a robot cop
no one feels safe, no one knows who to trust
he's a robot policeman and he's making a bust
on the streets you can feel the tension
he's not from this earth but another dimension
this city is gripped by fear, robot justice is swift and it's very severe
when the robot cop talks it's all buzzes and bleeps
his prime directive is to clean the streets,
[Chorus]
Tony he's from the space police, programmed to destroy to keep the peace
made of metal he'll never stop, Tony is a robot cop
(The little bridge bit is "from outer space,
not to be confused with Robocop or Terminator")
the futures now feel it coming, robot police it is coming
give me justice give me truth, after dark he'll destroy the youth
come from the top a government invention,
the hidden agenda they didnt mention.
upholds the law and he solves the crimes,
but he holds narrow views in these liberal times
Tony he's from the space police, programmed to destroy to keep the peace
made of metal he'll never stop, Tony is a robot cop.
Tony he's from the space police, programmed to destroy to keep the peace
made of metal he'll never stop, Tony is a robot cop
robot police man he can never be killed,
he does the paper work too cause he's highly skilled.
relentless persuing for whatever i'm doing,
no questions asked just a guaranteed shoeing.
enter the street see it coming, pullin out the spliffs we start runnin'
theres's no escapin' the robot police,
he'll bang you up with no chance of release.
[Chorus]
Tony he's from the space police, programmed to destroy to keep the peace
made of metal he'll never stop, Tony is a robot cop
Tony he's from the space police, programmed to destroy to keep the peace
