The Man Who Sold The World Lyrics
Artist(Band):Nirvana
Review The Song (41)Print the Lyrics
We passed upon the stair, we spoke in was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as a surprise, I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago

Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World

I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for a foreign land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazeless stare, we walked a million hills
I must have died alone, a long long time ago

Who knows? Not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World

Who knows? not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World

Review about The Man Who Sold The World

D B rocks | Reviewer: javierse | 6/4/09

I always knew the Nirvana cover for years, as I've been a grunge addicted since a kid, but somedays ago I finally heard the original, and I must say, this is something dangerous for me in a strange way...

Yeah, I also relate the song to God... For me its a song of sadness, of totally depressed impressions. And yeah, DAVID BOWIE IS HUGE! So thank him so much for sharing his feelings with the world like he did in this song...Makes me cry and at the same time, feel good!



God corrected his mistake | Reviewer: anIndian | 5/4/09

i am agnostic abt religion. i am not much of a religious person and specifically stay out of organized religion.

but, whenever i listen to an extra ordinary music like this, it reminds me of god. coz, this kind of music can't be created by human beings with just hard work. its pretty much devine. for that matter, any extra ordinary thing is a god's revalation.

being an immigrant to US, i never heard rock songs before year 2K and i heard this song so many times after coming to US on radio. this song made me fan of Nirvana.

i always used to hear at the end of the song, Kurt saying, 'this is actually David Bowie song'. I already listened to Bowie songs too and like his songs too. But, i always thought Kurt was just joking. Finally one day i asked my good friend Google about it. I listened to original version of Bowie. I was astronished. Normally i hate to listened to covered songs, coz they screw them mostly.

But not Nirvana. I listened so many times to Bowie original version, to try to like it better. But naa, hands down Nirvana is far better. It actually sounds more like a Nirvana song, free flowing.. continuous.. feel as if the band got this tune in one sitting.

After listenening so many times both Bowie and Nirvana's versions, my respect towards Bowie grew, but i concluded like this...

God corrected his/her mistake of releasing this song to human beings, thru Nirvana.

Its just devine...

While writing this thing, i heard nirvana version 10 times, still feels as if i listened to it first time.



Very Good | Reviewer: DArklord5000 | 2/23/09

Its a cover, but this cover is just better than Bowie's version, accept it, and Bowie Power, you don't think that The Beatles were before David Bowie and that they reinvented the way of making music, new ways of producing, etc, etc, and Bowie had great songs, but you can't say that Bowie was more brilliant than The Beatles.



Like Omg. | Reviewer: Ellen | 2/23/09

Amy, get over it. He's dead. Let the guy rest in peace. Don't ask for a fking sign, he won't give it. Why should he?!
& I don't think Nirvana would have been greater then the Beatles.
It was meant to be that they would stop so early.

Sorry for the bad English, I'm dutch ;]



Bowie Power | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/10/09

all of you make me sick. To place Bowie in such low standing, my God. I know the majisty behind Kurt and his teenage angst, but nothing, nothing compaires to the brilliance of David Bowie. Not even the Beatles. All of these artists have what is needed to be eternal, but never again mistake the replication of bowies music as perfection.



You have to listen more music ROCK4life | Reviewer: Lesstad | 12/15/08

They are many concepts about the rock music, and certandly Nirvana was a fundamental piece of the evolutive sounds of rock, like others in specific times like Led zeppelin who was considered father's of heavy metal, and Nirvana imself father's of the grounge sound, BUT YOU NEVER CANNOT COMPARE WITH THE BEATLES, because is a very different kind of music and concept, don´t be a stupid and listen much more music before you say stupid things.

P.S. With all respect for the nirvana fans, included me too, =)



Fantastic Maginificant.. | Reviewer: Amy | 10/7/08

Such a Beuiful Song And Such A Waste Of Talent... Kurt Your Fans All Miss You And Love You If You Reading From Above Give Us Some Sign Of Life So We Know You Still Live In Our Hearts.. Kurt You Had A Magnificent Intelligent Mind What Happened... R.I.P Kurt Cobain xoxo



Amazing | Reviewer: Tony | 9/11/08

people will hear this song in the future and say "remember that song by Nirvana 'The man who sold the world'" and they'll be like "yeah" little would they know this song is really by David Bowie only perfected by Kurt Cobain's amazing creativity.

Kurt your fans miss you.



ROCK4life | Reviewer: ? | 7/7/08

Nirvana was a badass band and if they where still around today they would have even bigger than the BEATLES! This song just shows how much Nirvana can get a song that sucks and make it sound cool, no offense to David Bowie.



hate to rain on the parade | Reviewer: F | 5/29/08

I hate to bust up this Kurt love fest but the lyrics are a bit wrong...its "searched afar the land' not "searched for a foriegn land". Just my two cents but it is a good song. I disagree that the song is better with Kurt singing it. They are equally good.
