TRIP OR TEA-TOTAL JUST ENJOY LIFE!

[ziljd1an]

How young were we? Dancing over that freeway in Germany and wearing our Ziggy face! Dancing everywhere. Now Age has come upon us with varicose veins and wheeziness. Enjoy my young pups. I had such a Ball. The Reaper awaits xx

[WehrmachtLuftwaffe]

@vorkutaman Frippertronics! Sorry, I just wanted an excuse to say that, and you mentioning Fripp gave it to me. Thanks. ;)

[zimonslot]

Danny. You need help. Please take your medicine.. Seriously, find help!

[mikefiftynine]

@zimonslot HA HA danny's wife was a dancer

[zimonslot]

Hey Danny, shut the fuck up and get a life.

[leonakita]

@vorkutaman Yeah, Bowie says to Eno..'we need a clever guitarist'... ENO says..'hows bout my good buddy Fripp?.... he hung up his axe and is farming in Wimbourne'... they fly Fripp in and say 'play'...fripp says 'play what?'... Bowie says...'w/e the fuck comes to your mind...this is all ad-hoc' and VOILA we get this!

[leonakita]

FUCKIN FRIPP ! YEAH !

[Datelesswonders]

1:20 This is the first song I listen to on Monday. I am now ready for the day. Say what.

[Zagat50]

Have walked miles in Berlin, day & night listening to this album. I feel like to cry for remembering those golden times, golden 80's

[ferdinandsouz]

@Zagat50 Recalling that the album is from 77.

[gurdjieff100]

don´t think is a great song, but it is a brilliant fripp interpretation. supossedly he had spent few years without playing until that moment

[kaini]

GET ME TO A DOCTOR!

[5AU5AGEROLL]

JOE THE LIOOOOOOOOOONAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!

[therealcarrotninja]

I think the line "You get up and sleep" can be interpreted in two ways - one, the idea of simply living through a day with no significance and going to bed and two, it seems to be reflecting Bowie's struggle to overcome emotional numbness (going through a day as if asleep) - I may be wrong, don't berate me if I am but that's my opinion.

[smithhedgehog]

@therealcarrotninja they sound like the same thing, and you just put it in two different ways. ;-) still, I agree though.

[furiousfingers27]

@therealcarrotninja You have nice opinions. :)

[CovenantOfLove]

[dixgun]

I don't remember this song being this great...I was in high school, or just out. Jeesuss, what a little growing will do for you.

[Kubrickfan1]

[dinkeedee]

this was always my favourite song on this album.

[syr1811]

Great! Love the guitar interplay - especially Fripps digging genius riffs.
