| David Bowie - Day In Day Out
Day-In Day-Out Stay-In Fade-Out
Day-In Ooh Ooh Day-Out Ooh Ooh Ooh
She was born in a handbag Love left on a doorstep What she lacks is a backup Nothing seems to make a dent Gonna find her some money honey Try to pay her rent That's the kind of protection everyone is shouting about
Day-In Day-Out Stay-In Fade-Out
Day-In Oo Oo Day-Out Oo Oo Oo
First thing she learns is she's a citizen, Some things they turn out right When you're under the USA Something rings a bell and it's all over She's going out her way Stealing for that one good rush
Day-In Day-Out Stay-In Fade-Out
Day-In Oo Oo Day-Out Oo Oo Oo
She could use a little money She’s hangin' on his arms like a cheap suit She’s got no money, honey She’s the other side Oh come on little baby Late night, big town, police, shake down
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Day-In Day-Out Stay-In Fade-Out Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Day-In Day-Out Stay-In Fade-Out
She's got a ticket to nowhere She’s gonna take a train ride Nobody knows her, or knows her name She’s in the pocket of a home boy Ooh she's gonna take her a shotgun Pow Spin the grail spin the drug She's gonna make them well aware She’s an angry gal
Day-In Day-Out Stay-In Fade-Out
There is angels everywhere Certainty shooting her down Shootin her with video-drugs-bullets and promises Angels in a ton of sound
And there's Day In Day Out You stay in Or ya You fade out Fade out You fade out Pa Fading out Fade out Fade out Day in ooh ooh ohh Day out ooh ooh ooh Day in Day out

| David Bowie - Time Will Crawl
Time will crawl
I've never sailed on a sea I would not challenge a giant I could not take on the church Time will crawl Till the 21st century lose
I know a government man He was as blind as the moon He saw the sun in the night He took a top-gun pilot He made him fly thru a hole Till he grew real old And he never came down He just flew till he burst
Time will crawl till our mouths run dry Time will crawl till our feet grow small Time will crawl till our tails fall off Time will crawl till the 21st century lose
I saw a black black stream Full of white eyed fish And a drowning man With no eyes at all I felt a warm warm breeze That melted metal and steel I got a bad migraine That lasted three long years And the pills that I took Made my fingers disappear
Time will crawl, time will crawl Time will crawl Till the 21st century lose
Time will crawl Time will crawl
You were a talented child You came to live in our town We never bothered to scream When your mask came off We only smelt the gas As we lay down to sleep
Time will crawl and our heads bowed down Time will crawl and our eyes fall out Time will crawl and the streets run red Time will crawl till the 21st century lose
Time will crawl and our mouths run dry Time will crawl and our feet grow small Time will crawl and our tails fall off Time will crawl till the 21st century lose
Time will crawl and our heads bowed down Time will crawl and our eyes fall out Time will crawl and the streets run red Time will crawl till the 21st century lose
Time will crawl For the crazy child Time will crawl We'll give every life Time will crawl For the crackpot notion
Time will crawl Time will crawl

| David Bowie - Beat Of Your Drum
Photograph king, watches you go Fashions may change, heaven knows, but you still leave a stain on me
Only to go, your colours may fade Seasons may change, weather blows, but you still leave a mark on me
Wrong, negative fades, never the twain, reckless and tame
I like the beat of your drum I like to look in your eyes I like to look thru your things I'd like to beat on your drum
I like the smell of your flesh I like the dirt that you dish I like the clothes that you wear I'd like to beat on your drum
I beat it, I beat it, can’t beat it, I feel it
Disco brat, follow the pack Watching you peel, heaven knows, prison can't hold all this greedy intention
Only to go, picture you now Music may change-hi-di-ho keen to follow your nose
Wrong, love out of tune Sweet is the night, bright light destroys me
I like the beat of your drum I like to look in your eyes I like to look thru your things I'd like to beat on your drum
I like the smell of your flesh I like the dirt that you dish I like the clothes that you wear I'd like to beat on your drum
I beat it, I beat it, can’t beat it, I feel it
I'd like to beat on your drum I'd like to beat on your drum I like your face in the crowd I'd like to beat on your drum
I beat it, I beat it, can’t beat it, I feel it Can’t beat it, Can’t beat it, I beat it
Oh yea, I'd like to beat on your drum I'd like to beat on your drum I'd like to yell it out load I'd like to beat on your drum
Can’t beat it, Can’t beat it, I feel it, I feel it
I’d like to beat on your drum I’d like to beat on your drum I’d like you face in the crowd I’d like to beat on your drum
Can’t beat it, Can’t beat it, Can’t beat it, Can’t beat it,
Can’t beat it, I beat it, beat it all out Beat it all in the crowd Beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
I’d like to beat on your drum I’d like to beat on your drum I’d like to blow your horn I’d like to beat on your drum, ahh yea

| David Bowie - Never Let Me Down
When I believed in nothing, I called her name Trapped in a high-dollar joint in some place, I called her name And though my days are slipping by And nights so cruel I thought I'd die She danced her little dance 'till it made me cry She was shakin' like this honey doing that
When I needed soul revival, I called your name When I was falling to pieces, I screamed in pain
Your soothing hand that turned me round A love so real swept over me You danced your little dance 'till it made me cry You were shakin' like this honey doing that
Never let me down, She never let me down Never let me down, She never let me down
When all your faith is failing, Call my name When you've got nothing coming, Call my name
I'll be strong for all it takes I'll cover your head till the bad stuff breaks I'll dance my little dance till it makes you smile Shaking like this honey doing that
Never let you down, I'll never let you down I'll never let you down, I'll never let you down Ohh no

| David Bowie - Zeroes
“Ladies and Gentlemen Tonight, yes, the Zeroes will be singing for you!”
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
You've arrived in the land of a thousand different names And the fabulous sons have crashed their planes in flames Now tomorrow's back claiming redemption is on your heels And a toothless past is asking you how it feels And me my little red Corvette has driven by My fair weather heart has fallen in My rainy day girl is feeling down And she tells me that the world is spinning round I say the dream was all for you You're nobody else Tonight the Zeroes were singing for you
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Hi, can I walk you home again today Gotta get forgive and forget hey-hey Something good is happening I don't know what it is Don't you know we're back on trial again today And it's breaking wine for you Hell it's only 'cause you're true Someone out timed my heart Stopping and preaching and letting love in You are my moon, you are my sun Heaven knows what you are Tonight the Zeroes are singing for you Yes they were Tonight the Zeroes were singing for you Tonight the Zeroes were singing for you
Doesn't matter what you try to do Doesn't matter what you try to do Doesn't matter where you try to go Doesn't matter who we really are Doesn't matter Doesn't matter Doesn't matter Doesn't matter Doesn't matter Doesn't matter Doesn't matter Ohh It doesn't matter Ohh Oh it doesn't matter Oh Doesn't matter Oh Doesn't matter Oh Doesn't matter Doesn't matter Doesn't matter

| David Bowie - Glass Spider
Up until one century ago there lived, In the Zi Duang province of eastern country A glass-like spider Having devoured its prey it would drape the skeletons over its web In weeks creating a macabre
Shrine of remains Its web was also unique in that it had many layers Like floors in a building
At the top of this palace-like place, assembled with almost apparent Care, were tiny, shining objects, glass, beads, dew-drops One could almost call it an altar When the breeze blew thru this construction It produced sounds of wailing, crying Tiny wails, tiny cries
The baby spiders would get scared and search frantically For their mother. But the Glass Spider would have long gone, having known that the babies Would survive somehow on their own. Oh-The Glass Spider had blue eyes almost like-a human's. They shed tears at the wintered turn of the centuries.
Don't you hear this wasted cry, Life is over you (Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone) But you've seen who's in heaven. Is there anyone in hell (Mummy come back 'cause it's dark now) Take care, take care. (Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone) Somewhere she glows divine. Somewhere she wakes alone. But you, you've promise in your lovin' eye. God it's dark now.
Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah
Gone, Gone the water's all gone Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone Stay low on the ground, fire can drive you, savage and afraid Spitting the dawn, come come come along before the animals awake Gone, gone, the water's all gone Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone Run, run, we've been moving all night, rivers to the left. If your mother don't love you then the riverbed might Gone, gone, the water's all gone Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone
Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah
Gone gone the water's all gone Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone Gone gone the water's all gone Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone Gone gone the water's all gone Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone Mummy come back ‘cos it’s dark now Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Mummy come back ‘cos it’s dark now Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah Mummy come back ‘cos it’s dark now

| David Bowie - Shining Star (Makin' My Love)
Eddie boy lit like paraffin spending two weeks in a crack house Burns on his brain like Chernobyl
Dean was seen with a two bag purchase He was lying dead on his mother's bed Someone for pray for, till I met you
Life is like a broken arrow, memory a swingin' door I could be your great misfortune I can make you happy every day of your life Making my love like a shining star, takin' my love just a touch too far
Tessie turns tricks with a soul like ice cause love left holes And four swell kids breaking her heart I've got windows, I've seen much vice, I've touched down with vermin, Cowardice, lice, And I say
Nobody cares what you do, please be yourself to death I could be your great misfortune But you'll never find a, bet you'll never find a better man. Making my love like a shining star Taking my love just a touch too far.
Peter met Frank formed a dummy run gang Worked heist or hit for 10 g's flat Blew heads outta shape for the name of Trotsky, Sinn-Fein, Hitler cashdown No hope heroes cover the page with depts in hell And fingers in blood Poor little bodies all covered in scabs threw it all away Another life in the grave Another life in the grave
Life is like a broken arrow-memory a swingin' door I could be your great misfortune Well I could make you happy every goddamn single day of your life
Making my love like a shining star Like a shining star Baby that's what you are Like a shining star
Making my love like a shining star Taking my love Just a touch too far
Making my love like a shining star Taking my love Just a touch too far Making my love like a shining star Taking my love Just a touch too far Making my love like a shining star

| David Bowie - New York's In Love
Here it is
Do you see that thing I'm sure it's love Would you do one thing New York's in love The city grew wings in the back of the night The clouds are stuck like candy-floss She sees the rich trash having all the fun Makes her wonder where they get the energy from There's nothing you can do to her This city's all clean and waiting I don't mean to wait too long But this joint can't get much higher
New York's in love With her big green eyes And her long blonde hair New York's in flames New York's in love With the way she talks And the way she walks New York's in love Goo Goo Goo Goo Goo Goo
My, oh my, it's a tom-tom beat No-one knows they've had their day We can dance and we can see the singles swing Everybody's waiting for the Go-Go Boys. You're turned to stone by the family It's now the dead speak to the living Nothing left here but a raging blaze I don't mean to wait too long
New York's in love With her big green eyes And her long blonde hair New York's in flames New York's in love With the way she talks And the way she walks New York's in love Goo Goo Goo Goo Goo Goo
Pretty as a picture New york new york Ugly on each side New yorks in love New yorks in love New yours in flames New yorks in love New york, new york

| David Bowie - '87 And Cry
It's just a one dollar secret A lover's secrets in the UK Torn apart in the UK In the dribble of May-Day '87 and Cry '87 and Cry And there's nothing inside And there's nothing in mind And only you Rocket on thru the sky It couldn't be done without dogs It couldn't be once without us '87 and Cry '87 and Cry
When the days were the days were the days boys When blue ties were for the big guys Frannie dressing down for the enemy You saw him hangin' on the enemy And there's no one in love And there's nowhere to scream And only you Race on to wonder where It couldn't be done without dogs It couldn't be once without us '87 and Cry '87 and Cry You can't make love with money You can't make mistakes with babies Nothing looked good on you That's how I liked you best Now you're ready for the real McCoy
Deep in the heart of Cupid Murders on the heels of love Just the ghost of a story Just a one dollar secret Baby these were the sounds Baby these were the sounds And only you Whisper these things aren't true It couldn't be done without dogs It couldn't be once without us '87 and Cry '87 and Cry '87 and Cry '87 and Cry Cry Cry '87 and Cry '87 and Cry Cry Cry '87 and Cry '87 and Cry Cry Cry Cry Cry '87 and Cry Cry Cry Cry Cry '87 and Cry '87 and Cry '87 and Cry '87 and Cry Hey Hey '87 and Cry

| David Bowie - Too Dizzy
There's too much talking for a night drive Too much mist in front of my eyes I'm trying not to lose control But you're just pushin’ pushin’ pushin’ for a fight You look trapped, turn the radio on Too much smoke, air conditioning gone But I'm helpless in love with you But you're just looking, looking looking for a break
Is it love or is it what Who's this guy I'm gonna blow away What kind of love is he giving you I'm-a-dizzy's What I'm trying to say Too Dizzy You can't have a lover Too Dizzy It's me and no other I'm a bad loser I'm-a-shakin' in anger Too Dizzy you can't have no lover
You can go on dreaming every night But I'm not letting you out of my sight I'm-a-ten times the man than any guy around But you're just itchin'-twitchin'-itchin' for a break
There's too much talking for a night drive Too much mist in front of my eyes But I'm helpless in love with you But you're just looking, looking, looking for a break
Is it love or is it what Who's this guy I'm gonna blow away What kind of love is he giving you I'm-a-dizzy's What I'm trying to say Too Dizzy You can't have a lover Too Dizzy It's me and no other I'm a bad loser I'm shakin' in anger Too Dizzy you can't have no lover I’m too dizzy Don't come any harder I’m too dizzy Don't come any closer I’m too dizzy I’m too dizzy I’m too dizzy Too dizzy Too dizzy To dizzy you can’t have no lover Too dizzy Too dizzy

| David Bowie - Bang Bang
Wow this ain't the right thing to do so let's go
Young girls they know what they're after Young girls don't kiss me goodbye Rockets shooting up into space Buildings they rise to the skies
Bang Bang I got mine Bang Bang reach for the sky
I keep a good friend on videotape He'll drive his sports car until it's too late But we'll have a hot time on the town tonight Cause love is my bet and it's the best yet
Bang Bang I got mine Bang Bang sun don't shine Bang Bang you all angels Bang Bang now you all ought to be in pictures
Oh girl Oh girl my problems can't follow me Phone calls I take my machine I wander lonely to the sea Lonely ha ha what does it mean
Bang Bang I got mine Bang Bang and you are next in line Bang Bang reach for the sky Bang Bang sun don't shine
Rise buildings Rise to the sky Young girls they know what they're after I said, young girls don't kiss me goodbye Bang bang Then you close, then you should close, then you close down You big man Bang Bang Spot the brack Just come in first Bang Bang If praise had wings Bang Bang And you next in line
