"Breaking up is hard, but keeping dark is hateful
I had so many dreams, I had so many breakthroughs
But you, my love, were kind, but love has left
you dreamless
The door to dreams was closed. Your park was
real and greenless
Perhaps you're smiling now, smiling through
this darkness
But all I had to give was the guilt for dreaming"

"In the corner of the morning in the past
I would sit and blame the master first and last
All the roads were straight and narrow
And the prayers were small and yellow
And the rumour spread that I was aging fast
Then I ran across a monster who was sleeping
By a tree And I looked and frowned and the monster was me"

"New love, a boy and girl they talking
New words, that only they can share in
New words, a love so strong it tears their hearts
to sleep - through the fleeting hours of morning
Love is careless in its choosing -sweeping over cross a baby. Love descends on those defenceless. Idiot love will spark the fusion. Inspirations
have I none - just to touch the flaming dove.
All I have is my love of love - and love is not loving"

"Once we were lovers, can they understand?
Closer than others, I was your, I was your man
Don't talk of heart-aches, I remember them all"

In this age of grand illusion you walked into my life out of my dreams
I don't need another change, still you forced a way into my scheme of things
You say we're growing, growing heart and soul"

"Well Johnny is a man
And he's bigger than her
I guess the bruises won't show
If she wears long sleeves
But the space in her eyes shows through"

"So I'll wait until we're sane
Wait until we're blessed and all the same
Full of blood, loving life and all it's got to give. Englishmen going insane
Down on my knees in suburbia
Down on myself in every way"

"Well, how come you only want tomorrow
With its promise of something hard to do
A real life adventure worth more than pieces of gold. Blue skies above and sun on your arms strength in your stride. And hope in those squeaky clean eyes"

"In your fear of what we have become
Take to the fire. Now we must burn
All that we are. Rise together
Through these clouds. As on wings"

"Walking in the snowy street
Let me understand
Drifting down a silent park
Stumbling over land
Open up your heart to me
Show me who you are
And I would be your slave"


David Bowie is a zillion times more inventive, brave and rocket-to-Mars brilliant than anyone who's been prodded by the ubiquitous genius stick.
