David Bowie - David Bowie Lyrics
David Bowie - Silly Boy Blue Lyrics
Mountains of Lhasa are feeling the rain
People are walking the Botella lanes
Preacher takes the school
One boy breaks a rule
David Bowie - Come And Buy My Toys Lyrics
Smiling girls and rosy boys
Come and buy my little toys
Monkeys made of gingerbread
And sugar horses painted red
David Bowie - Little Bombadier Lyrics
War made him a soldier
Little Frankie Mear
Peace left him a loser
The little bombardier
David Bowie - We Are Hungry Men Lyrics
When I live my dream, I'll take you with me
Riding on a golden horse
We'll live within my castle, with people there to serve you
Happy at the sound of your voice
David Bowie - Uncle Arthur Lyrics
Strikes the bell for 5 o'clock, uncle arthur closes shop
Screws the tops on all the bottles, turns the lights out, locks it up
Climbs across his bike and he's away
Cycles past the gasworks, past the river, down the high street
David Bowie - There is a Happy Land Lyrics
There is a happy land where only children live
They don't have the time to learn the ways
Of you sir, Mr Grownup
David Bowie - She's Got Medals Lyrics
She'd walk through the door and she'd set up the drinks on the house
She played a good game of darts, and the men slapped her back
And never took her out
She wore a trenchcoat khaki
David Bowie - Rubber Band Lyrics
Rubber band
There's a rubber band that plays tunes out of tune
In the library garden Sunday afternoon
While a little chappie waves a golden wand
David Bowie - Maid of Bond Street Lyrics
This girl is made of lipstick
Powder and paint
Sees the pictures of herself
Every magazine on every shelf
David Bowie - Little Bombardier Lyrics
War made him a soldier
Little frankie mear
Peace left him a loser
The little bombardier
David Bowie - Join The Gang Lyrics
Let me introduce you to the gang
Johnny plays the sitar, he's an existentialist
Once he had a name, now he plays our game
You won't feel so good now that you've joined the gang
David Bowie - Sell Me A Coat Lyrics
La la la la la la, la la la la la la la
A winter's day, a bitter snowflake on my face
My summer girl takes little backward steps away
Jack Frost took her hand and left me, Jack Frost ain't so coolCHORUS
David Bowie - When I Live My Dream Lyrics
When I live my dream, I'll take you with me
Riding on a golden horse
We'll live within my castle, with people there to serve you
Happy at the sound of your voice
David Bowie - Love You Till Tuesday Lyrics
Just look through your window, look who sits outside
Little me is waiting, standing through the night
When you walk out through your door I'll wave my flag and shout
David Bowie - Please Mr. Gravedigger Lyrics
There's a little churchyard just along the way Of tombstones, epitaphs, wreaths, flowers all that jazz It used to be lambeth's finest array Till the war came along and someone dropped a bomb on the lot With a little shovel in his little bitty hand And in this little yard, there's a little old man He seems to spend all his days puffing fags and digging graves He hates the reverend vicar and he lives all alone in his home Ah-choo ! excuse me Please mr. gravedigger, don't feel ashamed Please mr. gravedigger, i couldn't care If you found a golden locket full of some girl's hair As you dig little holes for the dead and the maimed And you put it in your pocket God, it's pouring down Her mother doesn't know about your sentimental joy She thinks it's down below with the rest of her toys And ma wouldn't understand, so i won't tell So keep your golden locket all safely hid away in your pocket Standing in the same spot by a certain grave Yes, mr. gd, you see me every day , st ....ah choo ! Mary-ann was only 10, full of life and oh so gay And i was the wicked man who took her life away Very selfish, oh god No, mr. gd, you won't tell I've started digging holes myself And just to make sure that you keep it to yourself And this one here's for you Lifted our girl, she apparently doesn't know of it Hello misses, thought she'd be a little girl Bloody obscene, catch pneumonia or something in this rain
