Lyrics

(uh uh aaah) Let me put my arms around your head
(dom du aaah) Gee, it's hot, let's go to bed
Don't forget to turn on the light
Don't laugh babe, it'll be alright
(dom du aaah) Pour me out another phone
(dom du aaah) I'll ring and see if your friends are home
Perhaps the strange ones in the dome
Can lend us a book we can read up alone

And try to get it on like once before
When people stared in Jagger's eyes and scored
Like the video films we saw

His name was always Buddy (got got du aaah aah aah)
And he'd shrug and ask to stay
She'd sigh like Twig the Wonder Kid (got got du aaah)
And turn her face away

She's uncertain if she likes him (got got du aaah aah aah)
But she knows she really loves him
It's a crash course for the ravers (got got du aaah)
It's a Drive-in Saturday

Jung the foreman prayed at work (dom du aaah)
Neither hands nor limbs would burst
It's hard enough to keep formation with this fall out saturation
(bah dom bah) Cursing at the Astronette
(dom du aaah) Who stands in steel by his cabinet
He's crashing out with Sylvian
The Bureau Supply for ageing men
With snorting head he gazes to the shore
Once had raged a sea that raged no more
Like the video films we saw

His name was always Buddy (got got du aaah aah aah)
And he'd shrug and ask to stay
She'd sigh like Twig the Wonder Kid (got got du aaah)
And turn her face away

She's uncertain if she likes him (got got du aaah aah aah)
But she knows she really loves him
It's a crash course for the ravers (got got du aaah)
It's a Drive-in Saturday

His name was always Buddy (got got du aaah aah aah)
And he'd shrug and ask to stay
She'd sigh like Twig the Wonder Kid (got got du aaah)
And turn her face away

She's uncertain if she likes him (got got du aaah aah aah)
But she knows she really loves him
It's a crash course for the ravers (got got du aaah)
It's a Drive-in Saturday, yeah, yeah

(Drive-in Saturday)
(It's a Drive-in Saturday)
(It's a Drive-in Saturday)
Drive in Saturday
(It's a Drive-in Saturday)
It's a, it's a, it's a drive in Saturday
(It's a Drive-in Saturday)
It's a, it's a, it's a, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir
(It's a Drive-in Saturday)
Dom du du du, dom du du du
(It's a Drive-in Saturday)
Dom du du da, dom du du da

Aladdin Sane is one of the best albums of all time

[stonelove919]

Aladdin Sane is Epic............

[BigM1703]

On the second album that I could do all of the words from. First was Ziggy. Sad old git!

[MysticKaraoke]

In 1973 I had already heard Starman and Jean Genie and they had made me curious. Then I noticed Drive-In Saturday single in jukebox in local bus station . Put a coin in, listen ... and I was sold for life. Next Christmas I got Aladdin Sane as a C-cassette. It was my first ever LP, and it still rules above all others.

[TenWhoWereTaken]

The second time she'd 'Sigggghhhh like Twig the wonder kid' is my favourite part of this song. That and the backing vocals during the chorus: 'Ba ba ba baaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh '. Too good.

[MrMajorTime]

The casual genius of this album was never matched. Bowie was riding high on Ziggy fame, knew he was worthy of putting out his offhand burlesque, what a grande vacation for the Lad! All the talent was there, but he wasn't trying to push it too hard. Bowie was Bowie here, perhaps for the shortest and longest moment. Here he just was doing his talent, on top of his game, biding his time, projecting himself, but not really worried. He'd done something to confirm his legacy, now he was just cruising.

[MsThebeMoon]

"with snorting heads he gazes to the shore" Nobody can write lyrics like David Bowie.

[MrMajorTime]

@slurm33 Not nearly enough, apparently.
