![]() Aladdin Sane (1974) [ larger cover art ] |
She'll come, she'll go.
She'll lay belief on you
Skin sweet with musky oil
The lady from another grinning soul
Cologne she'll wear. Silver and Americard
She'll drive a beetle car
And beat you down at cool Canasta
And when the clothes are strewn
don't be afraid of the room
Touch the fullness of her breast.
Feel the love of her caress
She will be your living end
She'll come, she'll go.
She'll lay belief on you
But she won't stake her life on you
How can life become
her point of view
And when the clothes are strewn
don't be afraid of the room
Touch the fullness of her breast.
Feel the love of her caress
She will be your living end (repeat)

| kaybee (Lost in the Wilds of Toronto) | Posted: Nov 29, 2012 - 17:56 This great segue really underlines how innovative and musically adept David Bowie was. Thanks, Bill & Becky! |

| Carl (The Summit City) | Posted: Jun 20, 2012 - 08:11 Well, David Bowie was nothing if not innovative; that tango-like intro to the song and verses is great. (Of course, this is from one who has a soft spot for tango.) |
| Papernapkin (Mountain View, CA) | Posted: Jun 09, 2012 - 10:00 Like his makeup, the song doesn't hold up well over time. |

Reminds me of a woman who claimed to have slept with Bowie twice and justified it with the statement "well, my husband practically forced me into his (Bowie's) arms". Felt like saying "And your now ex-husband did that twice, did he?" |
| Bozo (Steeler Penguin Pirate land) | Posted: Feb 14, 2012 - 08:43 Best song from Bowie's best album!! Now, that's how you close an album!! |

Love your screen name socalhol !! |
| planet3one9 (seattle) | Posted: Oct 15, 2011 - 11:00 Loving the vivaldi driving north on I-5 (within barking distance of paradise ca) - was there piano at the end of that piece ? Cuz when I heard the first few chords I thought to myself "wouldn't this be a brilliant time to hear an obscure old Bowie tune ?" and then it WAS an old Bowie tune !!! I thought I gotta tell Bill how brilliant that was but it appears my thought was having shared brain syndrome with other astute listeners... You kill it on a REGULAR basis bill... Just sayin'. I feel lucky to be in your company and part of this family. Thank you !! |
| lemmoth (NYC) | Posted: Oct 15, 2011 - 10:52 two words - Mike Garson |

What was funny is that they had the girl (Joan Jett or the other one?) singing this with David Bowie's voice. It didn't seem out of place at all. |
