David Bowie - Absolute Beginners Lyrics

David Bowie - Absolute Beginners Video

I've nothing much to offer

There's nothing much to take

I'm an absolute beginner

And I'm absolutely sane

As long as we're together

The rest can go to hell

I absolutely love you

But we're absolute beginners

With eyes completely open

But nervous all the same

 

If our love song

Could fly over mountains

Could laugh at the ocean

Just like the films

There's no reason

To feel all the hard times

To lay down the hard lines

It's absolutely true

 

Nothing much could happen

Nothing we can't shake

Oh we're absolute beginners

With nothing much at stake

As long as you're still smiling

There's nothing more I need

I absolutely love you

But we're absolute beginners

But if my love is your love

We're certain to succeed

 

If our love song

Could fly over mountains

Sail over heartaches

Just like the films

If there's reason

To feel all the hard times

To lay down the hard lines

It's absolutely true

David Bowie - The Stars (Are Out Tonight) Lyrics

David Bowie - The Stars (Are Out Tonight) Video

Stars are never sleeping

Dead ones and the living

 

We live closer to the earth

Nearer to the heavens

The stars are never far away

Stars are out tonight

 

They watch us from behind their shades

Brigitte, Jack and Kate and Brad

From behind their tinted window stretch

Gleaming like blackened sunshine

 

Stars are never sleeping

Dead ones and the living

 

Waiting for the first move

Satyrs and their child wives

Waiting for the last move

Soaking up our primitive world

 

Stars are never sleeping

Dead ones and the living

 

Their jealousy's spilling down

The stars must stick together

We will never be rid of these stars

But I hope they live forever

 

And they know just what we do

That we toss and turn at night

They're waiting to make their moves

For the stars are out tonight

 

Here they are upon the stairs

Sexless and unaroused

They are the stars, they're dying for you

But I hope they live forever

 

They burn you with their radiant smiles

And trap you with their beautiful eyes

They're broke and shamed or drunk or scared

But I hope they live forever

 

Their jealousy's spilling down

The stars must stick together

We will never be rid of these stars

But I hope they live forever

 

And they know just what we do

That we toss and turn at night

They're waiting to make their moves on us

The stars are out tonight, yeah

 

The stars are out tonight

The stars are out tonight, yeah

David Bowie - Somebody Up There Likes Me Lyrics

David Bowie - Somebody Up There Likes Me Video

Let the lies go

Let...

 

He's everybody's token, on everybody's wall

Blessing all the papers, thanking one and all

Hugging all the babies, kissing all the ladies

Knowing all that you think about from writing on the wall

 

He's so divine, his soul shines

Breaks the night, sleep tight

His ever loving face smiles on the whole human race

He says I'm somebody

He's got his eye on your soul, his hand on your heart

He says Don't hurry, baby

Somebody up there (somebody) likes me

 

He's the savage son of the TV tube

Planets wrote the day was due

All the wisest men around

Predicted that a man was found

Who looked a lot like you and me, yeah

Everyone with sense could see

Nothing left his eye unmoved, he

Had the plan, he had to use

 

(Somebody) He's so divine (Oh oh) his soul shines

(Somebody) Breaks the night, sleep tight

(Somebody up there, somebody)

His ever loving face (Oh oh) smiles on the whole human race (Somebody somebody somebody up there)

(Somebody)

He's got his eye on your soul, (Oh oh) his hand on your heart

He says Don't hurry, baby

Somebody up there (somebody)

 

Somebody plays my song in tune

Makes me, makes me, makes me stronger for you, babe

Was a way when we were young, that

Any man was judged by what he'd done

But now you pick them on the screen (what they look like)

Where they've been

 

He's got his eye on your soul, his hand on your heart

He says (Don't hurry, baby) don't hurry baby

Somebody up there (somebody) please go (Oh oh)

 

And who are the people

That given time, please go (Somebody somebody)

Tell me, can they hold you under their spell (Oh oh)

Can they walk and hold you as well as a

Smile like Valentino?

Could he sell you anything?

(Somebody somebody)

Keep your eyes on your soul, (Oh oh) keep your hand on your heart

(Don't hurry me baby)

Don't hurry, baby

Somebody up there (somebody) likes me

(somebody, somebody, somebody)

(somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody)

Somebody (somebody) somebody (somebody) somebody (somebody, somebody)

Somebody (somebody) somebody (somebody) somebody (somebody, somebody)

Can't remember (somebody) peace so well

Oh, space to ramble, (somebody, somebody) space to boogie

 

Soul shine (Ooh-ooh)

So divine

Somebody (ooh-ooh, somebody)

 

Soul shine (Ooh-ooh)

So divine

Somebody (ooh-ooh)

 

Somebody, somebody, somebody

Yeah, Get me man, place your man

Get me man, space your man

Get me man, space your man

Soul shine

Soul shine

So devine

So devine

Soul shine

So devine

So devine

David Bowie - Changes Lyrics

David Bowie - Changes Video

I still don't know what I was waiting for

And my time was running wild

A million dead-end streets

Every time I thought I'd got it made

It seemed the taste was not so sweet

So I turned myself to face me

But I've never caught a glimpse

Of how the others must see the faker

I'm much too fast to take that test

 

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

(Turn and face the strange)

Ch-ch-changes

Don't want to be a richer man

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

(Turn and face the strange)

Ch-ch-changes

Just gonna have to be a different man

Time may change me

But I can't trace time

 

I watch the ripples change their size

But never leave the stream

Of warm impermanence and

So the days float through my eyes

But still, the days seem the same

And these children that you spit on

As they try to change their worlds

Are immune to your consultations

They're quite aware what they're going through

 

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

(Turn and face the strange)

Ch-ch-changes

Don't tell them to grow up and out of it

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

(Turn and face the strange)

Ch-ch-changes

Where's your shame?

You've left us up to our necks in it

Time may change me

But you can't trace time

 

Strange fascination, fascinating me

Changes are taking the pace I'm going through

 

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

(Turn and face the strange)

Ch-ch-changes

Oh, look out you rock 'n' rollers

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

(Turn and face the strange)

Ch-ch-changes

Pretty soon now, you're gonna get older

Time may change me

But I can't trace time

I said that time may change me

But I can't trace time

David Bowie - Fashion Lyrics

David Bowie - Fashion Video

There's a brand new dance

But I don't know it's name

That people from bad homes

Do again and again

It's big and it's bland

Full of tension and fear

They do it over there

But we don't do it here

 

Fashion, turn to the left

Fashion, turn to the right

Oo, fashion

We are the goon squad and we're coming to town

Beep-beep, beep-beep

 

Listen to me, don't listen to me

Talk to me, don't talk to me

Dance with me, don't dance with me

No, beep-beep

 

There's a brand new talk

But it's not very clear, oo, bop

That people from good homes

Are talking this year, oo, bop, fashion

It's loud and it's tasteless

I've not heard it before, oo, bop

Shout it while you're dancing

On the dance floor, oo, bop, fashion

 

Fashion, turn to the left

Fashion, right

Fashion

We are the goon squad and we're coming to town

Beep-beep, beep-beep

 

Listen to me, don't listen to me

Talk to me, don't talk to me

Dance with me, don't dance with me

No, beep-beep... beep-beep
