From his 1980 album Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)

Lyrics:

The vacuum created by the arrival of freedom
And the possibilities it seems to offer
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it

A series of shocks - sneakers fall apart
Earth keeps on rolling - witnesses falling
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it

Yeah, yeah, yeah - up the hill backwards
It'll be alright ooo-ooo

While we sleep they go to work
We're legally crippled it's the death of love
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it

More idols then realities
I'm OK, you're so-so

Yeah, yeah, yeah - up the hill backwards
It'll be alright ooo-ooo

  • with robert fribb?

  • sounds like a perfect live aid hymn

  • Makes me smile when I think of the new romantics who rushed out and bought this album for "Ashes to Ashes", what they got was a kick-ass rock album which is on of Bowie's best behind Diamond Dogs. (If you didn't like Diamond Dogs gived it another listen, it sounds much better now)

  • Scary Monsters is one mean ass motherfucker of an album.

    The mystical bowie is back there but the sound is fresh.

  • @purpledonkey61 Agreed

  • @clovisr9 What of Hethen? A few covers, yes, but excellent.

  • @chingchangchongfly

    Low is pretty damn good as well.

  • Happy 65th Birthday Mr.Jones.....
