A consummate musical chameleon, David Bowie created a career in the Sixties and Seventies that featured his many guises: folksinger, androgyne, alien, decadent, blue-eyed soul man, modern rock star-each one spawning a league of imitators. His late-Seventies collaborations with Brian Eno made Bowie one of the few older stars to be taken seriously by the new wave. In the Eighties, Let's Dance (#1, 1983), his entree into the mainstream, was followed by attempts to keep up with current trends. David Jones took up the saxophone at age 13, and when he left Bromley Technical High School (where a friend permanently paralyzed Jones' left pupil in a fight) to work as a commercial artist three years later, he had started playing in bands (the Konrads, the King Bees, David J More... (Submit New David Bowie Lyrics) (Submit New David Bowie Lyrics) Space Oddity; The Man who Fell to Earth | Reviewer: JanB737 ------ About the song Space Oddity performed by David Bowie I assume that he wrote this as part of the movie soundtrack for The Man who Fell to Earth. I've heard that he mistakenly thought they wanted him to write all the songs for the movie (in addition to starring in it) but then they didn't use his music for it. If you haven't seen the movie, and can handle unexplained plot holes/weirdness to go with nude women, it's a great movie. Huh? | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Young Americans performed by David Bowie I dont understand why everyone has to put drugs into play... Most amazing songs have lyrics that make no damn sense. Bowie was amazing back then and he STILL IS NOW! He basically created his own genre and broke the molds of singers before him.. He is one of the BEST musicians of all time. Lol @ Jareth_x | Reviewer: Amadrei ------ About the song As The World Falls Down performed by David Bowie Girl, you are so full of crap. xD No one's going to believe that story. How about you stop mixing your dreams with reality and learn to get a life. Don't be a fake. Anyways, this is most definitely my favorite song in Labyrinth. It's waaaay too beautiful for words to describe. I love this song to bits and pieces, and I would've loved to be Sarah at that point in the movie. Correction, please... | Reviewer: Clare ------ About the song In The Heat Of The Morning performed by David Bowie Some errors need correcting here. It's mainly the "little soldier" in the first verse and the "ragged boy" in the 2nd that matter so much, together with the line in the chorus "In the shadow I'll clip your wings", which are so important. Especially the semi-sadistic, implicit "need to own" the object of the singer's affections which is implied in the line about "clip(ping) your wings" (Dunno where the previous supplier of these lyrics got "in the doorway" from!). LOVE THIS SONG!!! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Space Oddity performed by David Bowie OMG!!! I ADORE this song. it's so different. david bowie rulz!! my friends all think i'm crazy but, hey, what can i say,.... he's a good singer. it's ....and may GOD'S love be with you... not ....may THOR'S love... but still love this song!!! song | Reviewer: James Davis ------ About artist/band David Bowie I dont know if david bowie knew about the song labyrinth or even if that is the name of the song but i couldnt find the words to it anywhere song i got the music out and inputed the words for the song.

The story of my life | Reviewer: Sharonrose ------ About the song Survive performed by David Bowie This song was written to all who have loved them and left them,went on about their lives, and after you've had your fun, it hits them. The one person that came to mind that they can't forget.The person they took for granted, who finally got fed up and left never knowing that they mattered, until they hear this.Then if it dawns on them, they figure it out. A beautiful song,they best I've heard. Survive | Reviewer: Sharonrose ------ About the song Survive performed by David Bowie What a beautiful, heartfelt song. This is the song when you know you found the one person in your life,you took them for granted,never let them know how you felt,and they left. You reflect back on all those years gone by, and you finally figured out that the one you should have kept was the one you left behind. Story of my life. this song is special | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Bewlay Brothers performed by David Bowie Please listen a few times - this song is special - its a bit out there but the chord changes and expression are way ahead of its time - 1971 wow - Bowie was/is a genius !! (Quicksand and Life on Mars as well). His other stuff is great !! ..... Don't get me wrong but this is back when he was un-inpresssioned and discovering - wisdom before he knew what it was about !! boys and girls | Reviewer: mistressofallshesurveys ------ About the song Boys Keep Swinging performed by David Bowie given bowies ambiguous sexuality, this song is tongue in cheek about being a boy... and the best version i've heard of it is a very pared back 8track version from the early eighties sung by bily mackenzie of the associates - perfection. the prettiest song:) | Reviewer: ellaz ------ About the song The Prettiest Star performed by David Bowie I can't believe noone has commented on this beautiful and touching song, it's my favorite song with David Bowie at the moment, just fell in love with it!:) Btw, I noticed some errors in these lyrics, the verse in between the two "Staying back in your memory..." parts should be left out, and in the last verse the second line is "..you will rise up high and take us all the way" not "...you and I will rise up all the way". the prettiest song | Reviewer: Elín ------ About the song The Prettiest Star performed by David Bowie i can't believe noone has commented on this beautiful and touching song, it's my favorite at the moment with David Bowie!:) Btw, I noticed some errors in the lyrics, there is no verse between the two "Staying back in your memory..." parts, and the second line in the last verse is "you will rise up high and take us all the way" Liar! | Reviewer: Jenna ------ About the song As The World Falls Down performed by David Bowie to that person who wrote about david coming to her school dressed as jareth....okay first off you said that you had no idea he was coming to your school yet you just happen to be wearing a sarah dress and he so happens to be dressed as the goblin king? umm...i think not! and i dont care how nice any celebrity is no celebrity would ever ever ever give out any personal info like a personal telephone number and email and stuff....its a safety thing! also you make it sound like david was flirting with you which noone would ever believe because he's been married to iman for ages. either you made this up or are exaggerating majorly. i just wont stand to have anyone lie about david bowie...especially since im his number 1 fan...does noone else agree with this story? Holy nothing | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Holy Holy performed by David Bowie Guys, this song probably means absolutely nothing. David wrote cut-up- he took loads of random words, mixed them abotu randomly and corrected grammar. And he'd take a line or two and stick it over and over again in the song, using some program made for him. Mkay? just how amazing is Bowie? | Reviewer: gil gillespie ------ About the song Drive In Saturday performed by David Bowie I'm just doing a Bowie compilation with sleeve notes for a friend who only knew dance music until quite recently and I have once again been struck dumb by the staggering brilliance of the greatest pop star of them all. How many lives has he defined? great funky song | Reviewer: eliott ------ About the song Stay performed by David Bowie one of the funkiest of bowie's songs next to "fascination" from his Young Americans album. The lyrics are perfect, a great transition from Young Americans (the funky disco vibe) to his art-rcok/experimental years in the Berling Trilogy (the very deep, fresh songwriting) 'Tis great | Reviewer: Domo ------ About the song Major Tom performed by David Bowie I've always liked the song. It's helpful to have the lyics down somewhere correct and everything. Thanks for posting these. By the way, if you like this song, you might want to try listening to some of Crosby Still and Nash if you don't already know them. You never know, they could appeal to you. MY Death | Reviewer: Steff ------ About the song My Death performed by David Bowie This amazingly haunting song was written by Jaques Brell a prolific Belgian singer and song writer as was another one of Bowie's covers 'Amsterdam' which was a B side of a vinyl single, i don't recall which. I think Bowies version of which there are a few different live versions, are amazing and I never tire of listening to it. I may have it played at my funeral, later rather than sooner, hopefully Steff It's a Drive-In Saturday, yeah! | Reviewer: Twig the Wonder Kid ------ About the song Drive In Saturday performed by David Bowie This is such a brilliant song. Gives me a 50ies feeling... When Bowie was, in his Aladdin Sane period (1975 I think or 76/77) afraid of traveling by airplane, he traveled only by ship and train. And whilst staring trough the window of a train that was going to take him to another place for another concert he saw a totally 'dead' landscape shining in the moonlight. There was only ...land. No grass, no plants, nothing. And tht inspired him for this song. The song is about people who survived after a nuclear catastrophe. This few people can't remember how to make love anymore and go and watch movies... Movies with love-making in it... And then, they get back their memories. And what then happens? Well, you can guess what! The first verse is about the boyfriend forcing the girl to make love with him in a drive-in, though the girl loves him she doesn't know how to do 'it'... and they go to watch movies... Bowie is brilliant. I love him forever. He's still a genious. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Young Americans performed by David Bowie from the early 70's to the 80's, Bowie was a heavy user of COCAIN, and other various drugs. He was an addict. But personally, I don't think it influenced his genious. And the fact that he's still alive is definitly amazing.
