David Bowie - Rock n Roll Suicide

one of the best Bowie Tracks if not THEEE best.


Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth
You pull on your finger, then another finger, then your cigarette
The wall-to-wall is calling, it lingers, then you forget
Ohhh how how how, youre a rock n roll suicide

Youre too old to lose it, too young to choose it
And the clocks waits so patiently on your song
You walk past a cafe but you dont eat when youve lived too long
Oh, no, no, no, youre a rock n roll suicide

Chev brakes are snarling as you stumble across the road
But the day breaks instead so you hurry home
Dont let the sun blast your shadow
Dont let the milk float ride your mind
Youre so natural - religiously unkind

Oh no love! youre not alone
Youre watching yourself but youre too unfair
You got your head all tangled up but if I could only
Make you care
Oh no love! youre not alone
No matter what or who youve been
No matter when or where youve seen
All the knives seem to lacerate your brain
Ive had my share, Ill help you with the pain
Youre not alone

Just turn on with me and youre not alone
Lets turn on with me and youre not alone (wonderful)
Lets turn on and be not alone (wonderful)
Gimme your hands cause youre wonderful (wonderful)
Gimme your hands cause youre wonderful (wonderful)
Oh gimme your hands.

"You're watching yourself but you're too unfair"

that to me is the most powerful line in the song. I think that's the cause of bitterness and depression in people. People think about themselves in all these terrible ways. "I'm fat." "Nobody loves me." You wouldn't tell those things to someone else would you? It's not very fair is it? So don't do it to yourself.

Really wonderful song.

I used to think a day in the life was the greatest finale to any album but this has it beat.

I first heard that song in that part too.... and the worst is that it took me several watching to actually start liking it, now it's one of me favorite song

Just saw a waitress in a restaurant, she was crying...all I could hear was this song...all I could do was go over, grab her, hug her tight and whisper...you're not alone.

Left with my bagged lunch and her tears on the sholder of my jacker...I am so going on a Bowie binge when I get out of this salt mine today...forgot how many times his music has saved my life...or been there for me to lean on when someone elses life just might be hanging in that scary balance that mine so often is
