David Bowie - Absolute Beginners

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nT76TTVQSV4&feature=share

I've nothing much to offer

There's nothing much to take

I'm an absolute beginner

And I'm absolutely sane

As long as we're together

The rest can go to Hell

I absolutely love you

But we're absolute beginners

With eyes completely open

But nervous all the same

If our love song

Could fly over mountains

Could laugh at the ocean

Just like the films

There's no reason

To feel all the hard times

To lay down the hard lines

It's absolutely true

Nothing much could happen

Nothing we can't shake

Oh we're absolute beginners

With nothing much at stake

As long as you're still smiling

There's nothing more I need

I absolutely love you

But we're absolute beginners

But if my love is your love

We're certain to succeed

If our love song

Could fly over mountains

Sail over heartaches

Just like the films

There's no reason

To feel all the hard times

To lay down the hard lines

It's absolutely true

David Bowie - As The World Falls Down

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbjojL3GGp8&feature=share

There's such a sad love

Deep in your eyes.

A kind of pale jewel

Open and closed

Within your eyes.

I'll place the sky

Within your eyes.

There's such a fooled heart

Beatin' so fast

In search of new dreams.

A love that will last

Within your heart.

I'll place the moon

Within your heart.

As the pain sweeps through,

Makes no sense for you.

Every thrill is gone.

Wasn't too much fun at all,

But I'll be there for you-ou-ou

As the world falls down.

Falling.

Falling in love.

I'll paint you mornings of gold.

I'll spin you Valentine evenings.

Though we're strangers 'til now,

We're choosing the path

Between the stars.

I'll leave my love

Between the stars.

As the pain sweeps through,

Makes no sense for you.

Every thrill is gone.

Wasn't too much fun at all,

But I'll be there for you-ou-ou

As the world falls down.

Falling

As the world falls down.

Falling

As the world falls down.

Falling.

Falling.

Falling.

Falling in love

As the world falls down.

Falling.

Falling.

Falling.

Falling.

Falling in love

As the world falls down.

Makes no sense at all.

Makes no sense to fall.

Falling

As the world falls down.

Falling.

Falling in love

As the world falls down.

Falling.

Falling

Falling in love

As the world falls down.

David Bowie - Starman

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITnBx1p7qIk&feature=share

Didn't know what time it was,
the lights were low
I leaned back on my radio
Some cat was layin' down
some rock 'n' roll 'lotta soul, he said
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
That weren't no D.J. that was hazy cosmic jive

There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children blue again

I had to phone someone so I picked on you
Hey, that's far out so you heard him too!
Switch on the TV we may pick him up on channel two
Look out your window I can see his light
If we can sparkle he may land tonight
Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright

There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children blue again

Starman waiting in the sky

He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children blue again

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

Ohh, beautiful baby
My burning desire started on Sunday
Give me your heart and I'll love you till Tuesday

Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum

Who's that hiding in the apple tree, clinging to a branch
Don't be afraid it's only me, hoping for a little romance
If you lie beneath my shade, I'll keep you nice and cool

Ohh, beautiful baby
I was very lonely till I met you on Sunday
My passion's never-ending and I'll love you till Tuesday

Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum

Let the wind blow through your hair, be nice to the big blue sea
Don't be afraid of the man in the moon, because it's only me
I shall always watch you until my love runs dry

Ohh, beautiful baby
My heart's a flame, I'll love you till Tuesday
My head's in a whirl and I'll love you till Tuesday
Love, love, love, love you till Tuesday
Love, love, love, love you till Tuesday

Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum

Well, I might stretch it till Wednesday

David Bowie - Please, Mr. Gravedigger

David Bowie - Please, Mr. Gravedigger

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgLy2PAJRiQ&feature=share

There's a little churchyard just along the way
It used to be Lambeth's finest array
Of tombstones, epitaphs, wreaths, flowers all that jazz
Till the war came along and someone dropped a bomb on the lot

And in this little yard, there's a little old man
With a little shovel in his little bitty hand
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
As you dig little holes for the dead and the maimed
Please Mr. Gravedigger, I couldn't care
If you found a golden locket full of some girl's hair
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

Yes, Mr. GD, you see me every day , st ....ah choo !
Standing in the same spot by a certain grave
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
And just to make sure that you keep it to yourself
I've started digging holes myself
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

David Bowie - Heroes - Live Aid 1985


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGOx0ZpMrrU&feature=share

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be Heroes, just for one day

And you, you can be mean
And I, I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact
Yes we're lovers, and that is that

Though nothing, will keep us together
We could steal time, just for one day
We can be Heroes, for ever and ever
What d'you say?

I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes, just for one day

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be Heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day

I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads)
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing
could fall)
And the shame, was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be Heroes, just for one day

We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be Heroes

We're nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay
But we could be safer, just for one day

Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh, just for one day

NINA SIMONE on DAVID BOWIE, JANIS JOPLIN and singing STARS


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R96jRnBYymU&feature=share

Nina Simone

Stars

(Janis Ian) 

     

  I was never one for singing what I really feel 

Except tonight I'm bringing everything I know that's real 



Stars, they come and go, they come fast or slow 

They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze 

And all you see is glory 

Hey but it gets lonely there when there's no one here to share 

We can shake it away, if you'll hear a story 



People lust for fame like athletes in a game, 

we break our collarbones and come up swinging, 

some of us are downed 

some of us are crowned, and some are lost and never found 

But most have seen it all, 

they live their lives in sad cafes and music halls 

They always come up singing 



Some make it when they're young, 

before the world has done its dirty job 

and later on someone will say 

"You've had your day, now you must make way" 

But they'll never know the pain of living with a name you never owned 

or the many years forgetting what you know too well 

That the ones who gave the crown have been let down 

You try to make amends without defending 

Perhaps pretending you never saw the eyes of grown men of twenty-five 

that follow as you walk and ask for autographs 

Or kiss you on the cheek and you never can believe they really loved you 

Some make it when they're old 

(Perhaps they have a soul they're not afraid to bare 

or perhaps there's nothing there) 



Stars, they come and go, they come fast they come slow 

They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze 

And all you see is glory 

But most have seen it all, 

they live their lives in sad cafes and music halls 

They always have a story 



Some women have a body men will want to see 

and so they put it on display 

Some people play a fine guitar, I could listen to them play all day 

Some ladies really move across the stage and gee, they sure can dance 

I guess I could learn how, if I gave it half a chance 



But I always feel so funny when my body tries to soar 

And I seem to always worry about missing the next chord 

I guess there isn't anything to put up on display 

Except the tunes, and whatever else I say 

But anyway, that isn't really what I meant to say 

I meant to tell a story, I live from day to day 



Stars, they come and go, they're coming fast they come slow 

They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze 

And all you see is glory 

But most have seen it all, 

who live their lives in sad cafes and music halls 

And we always have a story 



So if you don't lose patience with my fumbling around 

I'll come up singing for you, even when I'm down 

Nature Boy - David Bowie

Nature Boy - David Bowie


http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=GTaLpPp7apU

This story is about love
The woman I loved is dead

There was a boy.
A very strange enchanted boy.
They say he wondered very far, very far, over land and sea.
A little shy, and sad of eye
But very wise was he.
And then one day
One magic day he passed my way.
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me:

The greatest thing
You'll ever learn
Is just to love
And be loved in return.

Thursday's Child - David Bowie

Thursday's Child

David Bowie

All of my life I've tried so hard

Doing my best with what I had

Nothing much happened all the same

Something about me stood apart

A whisper of hope that seemed to fail

Maybe I'm born right out of my time

Breaking my life in two

(Throw me tomorrow..oh,oh)

Now that I've really got a chance

(Throw me tomorrow..oh,oh)

Everything's falling into place

(Throw me tomorrow..oh,oh)

Seeing my past to let it go

(Throw me tomorrow..oh,oh)

Only for you I don't regret

That I was Thursday's Child

(oh, woah)

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was (x2)

Sometimes I cried my heart to sleep

Shuffling days and Lonesome nights

Sometimes my courage fell to my feet

Lucky old sun is in my sky

Nothing prepared me for your smile

Lighting the darkness of my soul

Innocence in your arms

(Oh-neh don' go)

(Throw me tomorrow..oh,oh)

Now that I've really got a chance

(Throw me tomorrow..oh,oh)

Everything's falling into place

(Throw me tomorrow..oh,oh)

Seeing my past to let it go

(Yeah, throw me tomorrow..oh,oh)

Only for you I don't regret

That I was Thursday's Child

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was Thursday's Child

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was Thursday's Child

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I

Deep in your eyes.

A love that will last

Makes no sense for you.
Every thrill is gone.

As The World Falls Down (tradução)
Enquanto o mundo cai

Há um amor tão triste
No fundo dos seus olhos
Uma espécie de jóia pálida
Aberta e fechada
Dentro dos seus olhos
Eu colocarei o céu
Dentro dos seus olhos

Há um coração tão enganado
Batendo rapidamente
À procura de sonhos novos
Um amor que irá durar
Dentro do seu coração
Eu colocarei a lua
Dentro do seu coração

Quando a dor acaba
Não faz sentido pra você
Toda a emoção se foi
Não foi tudo muito divertido
Mas eu estarei lá por você
Quando o mundo cair

Caindo
Me apaixonando

Eu pintarei suas manhãs de ouro
Eu irei fazer noites de amor pra você
Apesar de sermos estranhos até agora
Estamos escolhendo o caminho
Entre as estrelas
Deixarei meu amor
Entre as estrelas...

David Bowie - Life On Mars

Life On Mars?

It's a God awful small affair

To the girl with the mousey hair,

But her mummy is yelling, "No!"

And her daddy has told her to go,

But her friend is no where to be seen.

Now she walks through her sunken dream

To the seats with the clearest view

And she's hooked to the silver screen,

But the film is sadd'ning bore

For she's lived it ten times or more.

She could spit in the eyes of fools

As they ask her to focus on

Sailors fighting in the dance hall.

Oh man!

Look at those cavemen go.

It's the freakiest show.

Take a look at the lawman

Beating up the wrong guy.

Oh man!

Wonder if he'll ever know

He's in the best selling show.

Is there life on Mars?

It's on America's tortured brow

That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow.

Now the workers have struck for fame

'Cause Lennon's on sale again.

See the mice in their million hordes

From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads.

Rule Britannia is out of bounds

To my mother, my dog, and clowns,

But the film is a sadd'ning bore

'Cause I wrote it ten times or more.

It's about to be writ again

As I ask you to focus on

Sailors fighting in the dance hall.

Oh man!

Look at those cavemen go.

It's the freakiest show.

Take a look at the lawman

Beating up the wrong guy.

Oh man!

Wonder if he'll ever know

He's in the best selling show.

Is there life on Mars?

David Bowie - Oh You Pretty Things

Oh! You Pretty Things

David Bowie

Wake up you sleepy head
Put on some clothes, shake up your bed
Put another log on the fire for me
I've made some breakfast and coffee
I look out my window and what do I see
A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me
All the nightmares came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay

What are we coming to
No room for me, no fun for you
I think about a world to come
Where the books were found by the Golden Ones
Written in pain, written in awe
By a puzzled man who questioned
What we were here for
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh, you pretty things (oh, you pretty things)
Don't you know you're driving your
Mothers and fathers insane
Oh, you pretty things (oh, you pretty things)
Don't you know you're driving your
Mothers and fathers insane
Let me make it plain
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior

Look out at your children
See their faces in golden rays
Don't kid yourself they belong to you
They're the start of the coming race
The earth is a bitch
We've finished our news
Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh, you pretty things (oh, you pretty things)
Don't you know you're driving your
Mothers and fathers insane
Oh, you pretty things (oh, you pretty things)
Don't you know you're driving your
Mothers and fathers insane
Let me make it plain
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior

David Bowie - The Laughing Gnome

The Laughing Gnome

David Bowie

I was walking down the High Street
When I heard footsteps behind me
And there was a little old man (Hello)
In scarlet and grey, shuffling away (laughter)
Well he trotted back to my house
And he sat beside the telly (Oaah..)
With his tiny hands on his tummy
Chuckling away, laughing all day (laughter)

Oh, I ought to report you to the Gnome office
(Gnome Office)
Yes
(Hahahahaha)

Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
"I'm a laughing Gnome and you don't catch me"
Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
"I'm a laughing Gnome and you can't catch me"
Said the laughing Gnome

Well I gave him roasted toadstools and a glass of dandelion wine
(Burp, pardon)
Then I put him on a train to Eastbourne
Carried his bag and gave him a fag
(Haven't you got a light boy?)
"Here, where do you come from?"
(Gnome-man's land, hahihihi)
"Oh, really?"

In the morning when I woke up
He was sitting on the edge of my bed
With his brother whose name was Fred
He'd bought him along to sing me a song

Right, let's hear it
Here, what's that clicking noise?
(That's Fred, he's a "metrognome", haha)

Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
"I'm a laughing Gnome and you don't catch me"
Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
"I'm a laughing Gnome and you can't catch me"

(Own up, I'm a gnome, ain't I right, haha)
"Haven't you got an 'ome to go to?"
(No, we're gnomads)
"Didn't they teach you to get your hair cut at school? you
look like a rolling gnome."
(No, not at the London School of Ecognomics)

Now they're staying up the chimney
And we're living on caviar and honey (hooray!)
Cause they're earning me lots of money
Writing comedy prose for radio shows
It's the-er (what?)
It's the Gnome service of course

Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
"I'm a laughing Gnome and you don't catch me"
Ha ha ha, oh, dear me

(Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
"I'm a laughing Gnome and you can't catch me"
Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
"I'm a laughing Gnome and you can't catch me"
