David Bowie has some crazy lyrics. A friend of mine who's a Rap Music lover was sitting in my house, and I had 5 years playing, and when he heard the line, ' the cop knelt and kiss the feet of the priest and the queer threw up at the sight of that',  his head almost spun around hearing those lines. At 33 he still doesn't know what good music is.

Hey Mark I really hope you do see the programme . It was really excellent, one of the best documentaries I have seen on Bowie with masses of new footage. Cheers.

[Mark Meyick]

Doh! I missed how subtle you were being - now I read it again I see it :-)

Will have to see if I can find 'Five Years' on catch up

I know ,Mark, I was just trying to make that point to tonikeys comment in a low key way so as not to be abused as usual on youtube!
