As Major Thom likes a song, here's one from the original Major
Tom 'avec lyrics.
Difficult I know, if one's a bit 'geometric spelt for the 'dyspeptic the understanding is 'hectic for the 'dyslexic
So:....There's a little film at the bottom for those of hard of hearing, seeing or believing...
Note: 'If you scroll down and push the
play button now! You can follow the words' 'goddit ?
"Ashes To Ashes"
Do you remember a guy that's been
In such an early song that he spells wrong.
I've heard a rumour from Ground Control
Oh no, don't say it's true
They got a message from the Action Man
"I'm happy. Hope you're happy, too.
I've loved. All I've needed: love.
Sordid details following."
The shrieking of nothing is killing me
Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis
And I ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
But I'm hoping to kick but the planet is glowing
[Chorus:] L4U members...
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Thom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low
Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh, no, not again
I'm stuck with a valuable friend
"I'm happy. Hope you're happy, too."
One flash of light
But no smoking pistol
I never done good things
I never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue,
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now
[Chorus] L4U members.
[4x]
My mama said, "To get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Thom."
D. Bowie. august 1980.
Ps: 'On a happier note a
'ditty by anon...
"Bring that O backwards I'm feeling dyslexic
Grew up mis-directed, dark complected
(note that's complected rather than complicated)
Sometimes no electric, it was hectic
It was harsh, I was awed, I was infected, neglected".....
