Radio Paradise (mobile)

Billy rapped all night 'bout his suicide
How he'd kick it in the head when he was 25
Don't wanna stay alive when you're 25

Wendy's stealing clothes from unlocked cars
Freddy's got spots from ripping off stars from his face
Funky little boat race
The television man is crazy
Saying we're juvenile delinquent wrecks
Man I need a TV when I've got T. Rex
Hey brother you guessed I'm a dude

All the young dudes
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes
Carry the news

All the young dudes
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes
Carry the news

Now Jimmy looking sweet though he dresses like a queen
He can kick like a mule
It's a real mean team
We can love
Oh we can love
And my brother's back at home
With his Beatles and his Stones
We never got if off on that revolution stuff
What a drag
Too many snags
Well I drunk a lot of wine
And I'm feeling fine
Gonna race some cat to bed
Is this concrete all around
Or is it in my head
Oh brother you guessed I'm a dude

All the young dudes
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes
Carry the news

All the young dudes
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes
Carry the news

Ptijoc Mar 26, 2013 - 08:05	A great song from Bowie, by a great singer ; Ian Hunter, Maybe better in a live version with Mick Ronson. [ Reply ]

slr242 Feb 22, 2013 - 21:26	Have to tell you guys that I saw Ian on tour just two or three weeks ago at the Fillmore here in SF, and he was fantastic. Every song was great, both new and old, Mott and solo stuff. He has a new album out, and the songwriting on all tracks was first-rate. No weak songs at all during the show. I saw Bowie sing this song in a small venue in the mid-90s, and I'm super-happy now to have seen Ian sing it himself. It was a great experience. [ Reply ]

Ah, and how was that song called: Ode to Mr. Zimmerman or something like this? "Don't go drawing any circles around me, Mr. Zimmerman." "No worries, Mr. Jones." [ Reply ]
