His voice is so tight on this. Bowie has a very interesting style of writing lyrics. I don't know why I would prefer wondering what the hell a songwriter is talking about but I do.
I don't think "Never Let me Down" was a bad album. I just thought critics were such tough bastards ,you couldn't get on their good side unless you wrote fucking John Lennon/Paul McCartney quality lyrics.
@retroEddz I don't think critics ever liked David Bowie, certainly not in the beginning. But screw them anyway, the critics don't determine the success of the artist, the fans do, and his fans have ALWAYS loved him.
LOVE THIS SONG! Very dark and apocalyptic!

I'm so happy this song was uploaded onto YouTube! The cassette tape I had this on got worn out & garbled and I had to toss it. :( Thank you, YouTube!

@retroEddz Dude I'm a huge Bowie fan, but this album is his worst. This tune is okay though.

@5tar5z I thought Tin Machine was supposed to be his worst, or was it Black Tie, White Noise?
