David Bowie Boys Keep Swinging

From his 1979 album Lodger

Lyrics:

1.2.3.4
Heaven loves ya
The clouds part for ya
Nothing stands in your way
When you're a boy

Clothes always fit ya
Life is a pop of the cherry
When you're a boy

When you're a boy
You can wear a uniform
When you're a boy
Other boys check you out
You get a girl
To say your favorite things
When you're a boy

Boys
Boys
Boys keep swinging
Boys always work it out

Uncage the colours
Unfurl the flag
Luck just kissed you hello
When you're a boy

They'll never clone ya
You're always first on the line
When you're a boy

When you're a boy
You can buy a home of your own
When you're a boy
Learn to drive and everything
You'll get your share
When you're a boy

Boys
Boys
Boys keep swinging
Boys always work it out

That's a matter of taste.. bad tast in my opinion. Where Low is a beautiful coherent and grounsbreaking album. Lodger just....sucks. Okay, let's not be harsh, it has its moments, but doesn't compare to Low.

[SamazRalan]

@Kanarie1973 Its a matter of taste and you should not listen to bowie for synth.

[SamazRalan]

@Playjex You are polite about it i like you, Heroes was good, Low may of been ground-breaking, but it was lodgers that made me like the berlin trilogy. I heard fantastic voyage on the reality tour and ever since i liked the album it has a very cold war feel.

[SamazRalan]

@Kanarie1973 I want music with soul, not with electronics. Its the reason i abandoned modern music. Everyone is different, Lodger is Avant Garde rock at its finest, while Low is just an album that wishes it compared to say Scary Monsters or Diamond Dogs.

[Playjex]

@SamazRalan In the trilogy Heroes is my fav, Low is my second favorite, and Lodger is last. It seems we are almost opposite since I can't stand Lodger. This is the only song I like from the album I liked besides DJ. I respect your opinion though as I can see why you like those albums in that order since you hate synths

[lyonslaforet]

Even if Lodger (1979) isn't among his most revered albums, it has its share of decent tracks, including this one!

[blakeyonthebuses]

It's a matter of taste but everyone who doesn't like this album is completely wrong!

[SamazRalan]

and low was coherent it was noise a bunch of fake noise

[SamazRalan]

@Kanarie1973 See i hate how short the songs are i like hearing bowies voice ( i also hate synthesizers). In the berlin trilogy lodgers and heroes was his best while Low just doesnt compare

[SamazRalan]

heroes was ok but it did not compare to this album, and LOW will never be in my bowie library i won the cd and changed the name to SUCK
