David Bowie Red Money

From his 1979 album Lodger

Lyrics:

Oh, can you feel it in the way
That a man is not a man?
Can you see it in the sky
That the landscape is too high?

Like a nervous disease
And it's been there all along
It will tumble from the sky
It's been there all along

Project cancelled
Tumbling central
Red Money

Can you hear it fall
Can you hear it well
Can you hear it at all

I was really feeling good
Reet Petite and how d'ya do
Then I got the small red box
And I didn't know what to do
'Cause my fingers could not grope
And I could not give it away
And I knew I must not drop it
Stop it, take it away

Project cancelled
Tumbling central
Red Money

Can you hear it fall
Can you hear it well
Can you hear it at all

Project cancelled
Tumbling central
Red Money

Can you hear it fall
Can you hear it well
Can you hear it at all
Can you hear it at all
Can you hear it at all

Red Money
Red Money
Red Money
Red Money

Such responsibility
It's up to you and me

Calling Sister Midnight

[donnyv78]

Decent song but doesn't compare with the intensity of Sister Midnight.

[clovisr9]

bowie or iggy? it's really good tracks.

I prefer iggy version. sorry

[kjsh987]

for all those who say that iggy version is better then gom hear iggy´s version and stop saying it.bowie is bowie and in my opinion much better than iggy

[ZenDogRadio]

As a hard core Iggy fan all I wanna say is this version rocks !

[voodoograndma]

Surely I can't be alone in thinking this is at least the equal of Sister Midnight? The production has a buzzing, chugging, sinister quality that isn't quite there in the Iggy Pop version, and Bowie really sells a sense of nervous panic in the vocals too. Sister Midnight is a great track, but I definitely prefer Red Money.

[motherphucker666]

Iggy's version is the best
