Guess the song.

I have absolutely no idea

It's from an often hated album, but it has a couple (only a couple) of cool tunes! This is one of them. It comes with a music video featuring a bunch of dancers, and Bowie is being beat up by them.

Here's more of the lyrics:
"I've never sailed on a sea.
I would not challenge a giant.
I could not take on the church.
********
Till the 21st century lose."

Aaargh i know it !!!

Can't remember the title !

I have to think about it !

Good luck

Time will crawl !

"Don't return to fields of green where rainbow secrets were told
Place your ragged doll with all the toys and paints and deeds
I will show you a game where the winner never wins"

Ehr... hint please?

David Bowie/Space Oddity(1969) + Toy

Ehr... I can't figure it out! O.o

Baby, baby, brush the dust of youth from your shoulder
Because the years of fretting days are right behind you now
Don't return to fields of green where rainbow secrets were told
Place your ragged doll with all the toys and things and deeds
I will show you a game where the winner never wins

Let your hair hang down, wear the dress your mother wore
................................

...and this song is on "David Bowie (1969)" AND Toy? I can't get it to match! Are there any song that's on both albums?

The 1969 version is of course not the same as the Toy version, but it's the same song, yes.

Toy songs are (almost) all new versions of songs from previous albums.

Yes, but I can't find a song that apppears on both albums! (Unless the name was changed).

I got the following tunes for the two Albums:

Letter to Hermione
Cygnet Committee
Janine
An Occasional Dream
Wild Eye Boy from Freecloud

Toy

Afraid
Baby Loves That Way

Conversation Piece
Let Me Sleep Beside You
Toy (Your Turn to Drive)
Hole in the Ground
Shadow Man

Oops sorry it was David Bowie (1967) not space oddity

I'm a bit tired... Sorry.

Nope, that's not this one

Allright, let's try this again (I don't have the 1967 album).
