Terrific cut from an under-appreciated album.  More, please, BillG!

I agree with you. I especially like 5:15 the angels have gone and Everyone Says "Hi" from this CD. There's a sweet sadness about Everyone Says "Hi".

Appalling... like he's trying to sound like Damon Albarn.

Demand all you like Dave....I demand you stop this it offends the ears.

A P.O.S. should know one when he sees one, I guess.  If you don't have anything positive, constructive, or insightful to say... you could just keep it to yourself.

Another great DB track.  I'm glad to see some of the newer stuff on RP.  This CD and Reality, both from the 2000s, contain some great tracks.  As does the Hours CD released in 98.

I heard these lyrics as satirical - aimed at those who think God determines our future - not as a statement of DB's personal feelings...

Maybe you should check to see who the REAL enemy is.


Could it be ... SATAN!!!

Oh, that Bowie spin's a "6," BTW ... maybe.

Well, that picture isn't of James Dobson. It's of Pat Robertson.

Would love to hear DB do this in the 1970's- minus the slick studio production. Sounds like he phoned a good bit of this one in.

loving it. saw the Heathen tour twice and this is a great song off a fabulous record.

for those who think David was past his prime in 1983 you are so wrong.

For you young ones - look for anything with Tony Visconti producing. He brings out the best in David.

I have been hoping that Bill would also play "Cactus" off of this too. The album is a masterpiece--creative and fresh. Probably his best of the current decade anyway.

Great to hear some different Bowie. The Heathen album has a couple of tunes that stand among his best. Pay some more!
