Lyrics - David Bowie Lyrics
|  |
A consummate musical chameleon, David Bowie created a
career in the Sixties and Seventies that featured his many
guises: folksinger, androgyne, alien, decadent, blue-eyed
soul man, modern rock star-each one spawning a league of
imitators. His late-Seventies collaborations with Brian Eno
made Bowie one of the few older stars to be taken seriously
by the new wave. In the Eighties, Let's Dance (#1, 1983),
his entree into the mainstream, was followed by attempts to
keep up with current trends.
David Jones took up the saxophone at age 13, and when he
left Bromley Technical High School (where a friend
permanently paralyzed Jones' left pupil in a fight) to work
as a commercial artist three years later, he had started
playing in bands (the Konrads, the King Bees, David J More...

Review about David Bowie
Never love the car but love the song | Reviewer: Jo
------ About the song Major Tom performed by David Bowie
I never was really fond for car pub but when I hear that song I was caught by surprise.I turned back from my computer,aiming at the TV to watch the last minute of the fast Lincoln publicity.I still didn't remember the Lincoln model or what it as all about but I remember the song,it was digged somewhere in my subconscious library.I waited all night for another occurrence of this same publicity.One day I typed "new Lincoln car lyric" on Google and I discovered that many more people were interested in that song.That day I learned about David Bowie,Peter Schiller and Shiny Toy Guns.
the Excellent thin white duke | Reviewer: Frowner
------ About the song My Death performed by David Bowie
I have been listening to "My Death" ever since I first bought "the rise & fall of Ziggy Stardust & the Spiders from Mars, the motion picture" on vinyl (LP) over 20 years ago, and what can I say quality never loses its lustre.
I used to love listening to it on the vinyl as vinyl has nuances that CDs just don't do.
The words entralled as me, as a melancholy teenager and I think it would be a cool funeral song.
I have always like the way David Bowie plays with words and ideas and think it is such a great pity that he is sooo quiet these days... :-(
Not Bowie's song | Reviewer: Shay
------ About the song Major Tom performed by David Bowie
The song from the commercial was done by Shiny Toy Guns, and you can get the song free through their site. And this is not a Bowie Cover but a Peter Schilling cover, same story line in both songs, sort of, I like both of them. Look up Major Tom on Wiki, and you'll find Major Tom has an influence in a lot of stuff,
of course | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Space Oddity performed by David Bowie
this song is totally about Bowie's heroin expiernce. if you were a real fan you would know that. in Ashes to Ashes he refers to Major Tom as a junkie; also stating in the song "you'd better not mess with Major Tom" of course it's about heroin!
Argghhh | Reviewer: Kendrick
------ About the song Major Tom performed by David Bowie

I am from Serbia and , too, and now am writing in English, give please true I wrote the following sentence: "Com offers top travel destinations in myanmar, you can reserve cheap domestic airline tickets, hotels, cars, cruises and vacation packages, all in."
Thank you so much for your future answers :). Kendrick.
Major Tom in commercial | Reviewer: Haley
------ About the song Major Tom performed by David Bowie
I've seen the same commercial and fell in love with the song. It's a Lincoln car commerical and the song, in the ad, is done by Cat Powers....as per You Tube. I love that version though I can't find it online. David Bowie's version is still great.
After an hour of looking it up online, finally found the song (I'd never heard it before as I'm only 25!) ha.
Hope this helps.
Someone fetch a priest | Reviewer: jo
------ About the song Word On A Wing performed by David Bowie
This is Bowie's short religious moment. During the filming of of The Man Who Fell To Earth, Bowie was having a rough time psychologically with this things happening on the set, which was keeping him up at night. So he found Jesus and Christianity for a while, and the result was Word on a Wing. That was also the time when he started carrying a silver crucifix, which he still carries to this very day (2009), even though he's not a religious kind of guy.
Bowie is just Great | Reviewer: MTMTexas
------ About the song TVC 15 performed by David Bowie
I've been a fan since the /60's even befire Space Oddity. I's heard that the song was about a bad trip Iggy Pop had back in the day. I'd like to ask him, personally. Labrynth was just superb. Keep Rockin' Dadid!
Its tha most touching song I have ever heard in my whole live | Reviewer: andrea botsaris
------ About the song Wild Is The Wind performed by David Bowie
David Bowie as I never liked wether your songs nor your appearance in the 60s and 70s, I do adore this song and I especially love the live version of it when you were live at the Beep of BBC. There is nothing stronger and more touching than this song of all the music I have ever heard in all my life.
Ground Control | Reviewer: The Wretched
------ About the song Space Oddity performed by David Bowie
The song tells of a space cadet whom is sent into space on a mission and becomes depressed while being away from home.
I love this song, the music is mind melding - even for being from 1969. Great song. I also love his vocals in this song very much.
Sarah explains the masquarade. | Reviewer: Sarah (it really is!)
------ About the song As The World Falls Down performed by David Bowie
I, Sarah, stepped through the crowd with my white ball gown and bushed up hair. It looked like everyone except me was wearing masks, and I felt more uncomfortable as I searched the crowd for someone to dance with. The music in the background sang to me.
"...Deep in your eyes,
a kind of pale jewel..."
Someone behind me laughed. I turned, advanced, and a man removed his mask. I was disconcerted. This seemed like a dream. His face was like a miracle, and every strand of his long, golden hair seemed to glow from within. I knew it was rude but I couldn't help it. I kept staring, with my mouth hanging loosely. Another man holding a brunette in his arms, twirled in front of me, and when they passed, Bowie was gone. I turned my head vigorously in all directions, searching for him until my neck hurt, gave up and started shoving through the crowd again. I didn't notice, but a few people away from me, he was dancing with a red-head. He didn't bother looking at his partner, but at me. Some people showed me a box, and opened it. Inside was a great, dirty snake. I jumped back... and everyone laughed. The man holding the box pulled out the snake and showed me it was just a walking stick shoved through a hole in the bottom of the chest. I left them to their tittering. I passed by someone and they pulled away just as I turned the other way. Bowie grinned at me in admiration, and followed me. I pushed through the many people with masks, and noticed a large, fluffy fan a blonde woman was holding. She pulled it away, and Bowie was behind it, with a couple of woman staring in admiration. I started staring again. He advanced on me and grabbed my waist; I put my hand on his shoulder and we danced. Sooner or later he'd mouth the words of the song to please me. I did have to admit, I wasn't exactly pleased. I was uncomfortable and scared. Though I was dancing with the one I wanted to dance with, it freaked me a little. Everyone else twirling around, me realizing I had been looking for something... but what was it? I pushed Bowie away and dashed through the crowd. He didn't try to stop me, he just sort of stood there with a sad look. Everyone else didn't mind the shoving. They were too busy twirling to the music. I reached I glass wall. Don't blame me, I didn't exactly know what I was doing, but I picked up a pearly-white chair and plunged it into the glass. I was falling...falling...falling... with no hope of ever going back... still falling...
Well, there you have it, ladies and gentlemen, the real-deal. It may not have happened to me, even though my name really is Sarah, and I really like David Bowie and I would love it if that long story really had happened to me.
great lyrics | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Young Americans performed by David Bowie
I must admit, I didn't know what I was listenung to all these years. I only decided to find the lyrics here after listening to it in my car tonight. The song is amazing, though it paints a pretty grim picture. How couls anyone think this was a drug-induced rambling. It's totally clear thinking that wrote this
The audacity of float | Reviewer: Mike M
------ About the song Major Tom performed by David Bowie
I hear a snippet of this song on a TV commercial and I thought the lyrics ran:
This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You’ve really made the grade
But you're floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
Which, as Bowie was/is a social anarchist, and this song was written during the age of conflict and wonder (1969), before man had even reached the moon (and I clearly recall seeing a "colored only" water fountain), that my memory of the lyrics would have been a great directly ironic comment on having reached the apogee of societal norms while floating untethered through the abyss of space; which, in essence, his lyrics indirectly achieve, but in a most peculiar way that I don't think most people can readily grasp (especially me).
Oh well.
Bowie at his best | Reviewer: Mike
------ About the song Teenage Wildlife performed by David Bowie
Begins sounding like a rip off from the song Heroes, but the music and lyrics here are actually very original. A haunting melody with a crashing, sparkling climax done very well by one of David's best vocal performances ever. A gem buried in the sand, this song never got the airplay it deserved. Should be listed with the greatest rock songs of all time.
Underground | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Underground [long version] performed by David Bowie
I agree, great film and great song. As the world falls down was great too, but then again has Bowie ever delivered anything but brilliance on all his songs, even the ones that are'nt my favourates, Ive got to admit are still genius.
Hope we get some more from bowie soon.
Memory Expansion Due To Drugs | Reviewer: hellmish
------ About the song Space Oddity performed by David Bowie
xclnt poetry, im assumin the idea of the song being drug related would be true. He was a full blown heroin addict, lsd was a standard consumable...but was it an intended suicide note to himself. at that point in time he was going down hill physically. & then it became a love story . Sobriety Sucks
Nice Work - Needs a minor change | Reviewer: Jimmy
------ About the song We Are The Dead performed by David Bowie
I believe "Always breaking in the new boys, deceive your next of kin" should be "For we're breaking in the new boys, deceive your next of kin".
It's possible that it's listed somewhere as official lyrics as "Always", in which case I concede, but listening to the song it seems clear that he's sayind "for we're".
Dreamy... | Reviewer: Billie
------ About the song Starman performed by David Bowie
This song is dreamy. I love the image of listening to some song on the radio, not really paying it much attention, and then realising that it came from much further away than we ever thought was possible...maybe i'm just a pretentious twat. Haha. I'd like a Starman as a God figure. The only thing is, I just imagine the Starman as DB himself, but shinier. Does anyone else feel this?
Underground | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Underground [long version] performed by David Bowie
I agree, the film was brilliant, and David Bowie was the best thing in it. The first time I watched the film (I only just recently rewatched it) I must have been about 10 years old, and I fell in love with him there and then. Watched it again, and still love him, haha. As the World Falls down and Underground have got to be two of the best songs ever.
Stunner, almost unknown | Reviewer: lance
------ About the song Wild Is The Wind performed by David Bowie
This is a good attempt at the ultimate torch song, with a beautiful arrangement and a difficult vocal range that Bowie surprisingly handles flawlessly. In fact, the range is so wide, it left me wondering if it was somehow enhanced in the studio. No matter, it is lovely and stunning, though the lyrics are a bit over the top, almost kitschy. As with many Bowie songs, it is up to us to decide if it is done in earnest or tongue-in-cheek.
I was reminded of this song by hearing an inferior though interestingly delivered version in the trailer for the new movie, Revolutionary Road. Whoever sings that does not have the pipes for it.
