Even a fool learns to love - David Bowie - Outtake + Instrumental

Outtake of Even a fool learns to love - David bowie. Instrumental part composed and played by Richard Clayderman.
Lyrics :
There was a time, the laughing time
I took my heart to every party
They'd point my way
"How are you today?"
"Will you make us laugh?
Chase our blues away?"
Their funny man won't let them down
No, he'd dance and prance and be their clown
That time, the laughing time
When even a fool learns to love

The clown turned around
And saw her smile, Oh how she loved me
She'd clap her hands and beg me stay
To make her laugh, to make her life gay
Who wants the love of all the world
When here was love in the eyes of just one girl
That day, that precious day
When even a fool learns to love

But Oh, how I dreamed, a marvelous dream
Where all of the heavens or so it had seemed
With thunderous applause looked down from above
On a clown and an angel so much in love
I'll stay with my dream, it takes such a dream
And even a fool learns to love

That day, that hateful day
The joke turned stale, the game was over
Those spiteful words "Oh, go
away. Who wants to play?"
"It's getting late now."
My world, my funny world
Had lost its mask and shown a broken heart
A time, a sour time
When even a fool learns to love

But Oh, how I dreamed, a marvelous dream
Where all of the heavens or so it had seemed
With thunderous applause looked down from above
On a clown and an angel so much in love
I'll stay with my dream, it takes such a dream
And even a fool learns to love

Bowie used to get music sent to him (very early on) that needed english lyrics. He wrote these before they were given to Paul Anker who of course wrote 'My Way'. Apparently Bowie, fed up at losing out, wrote 'Life On Mars' as a revenge trip. The chord changes are very similar - and I much prefer Life On Mars...........

[Denis Danteck]

yes and he compose alone this song, after he use the great pianist mick wakeman for any arrangement and mick ronson who as play is first succes on guitar

[Udany147]

The "original lyrics" aren't original. This is written before the Frank Sinatra version.

[Danie Cox]

oh my god ..... my head is completely blown by all this!!!

[springjools]

He probably mean Better than Comme d'habitude, the original.

[emailtheoldies]

i'd rather listen to Even a Fool Learns to Love, than my way.

[Lavy Ducesa]

better than the original lyrics!bowie is a great writter

[naumnn]

As do I! ♥

[naumnn]

I wish this could have been his recording. I don't think that the words were horrible at all. I think they were great words, because he wrote and felt them..and so do ♥I.

[velvetgoldmine30]

[naumnn]

Awwww! I wish he could have release this!!! OMG! I don't thing they weren't bad lyrics David Bowie. I think they were lovely lyrics.

Yup. Although it's Rick Wakeman, had been with the Strawbs and then went on to join YES.
