Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Suffragette City (David Bowie Cover)

I love David Bowie and I do like Frankie. But Frankie singing a Bowie song? You decide... Some days ago I didn't even know Frankie did a cover version of a Bowie song.

I didn't have that much fun doing this and lost interest half the way. So here are the full lyrics that I didn't bother to put into the video. The original lyrics I mean...

Hey man, oh leave me alone you know
Hey man, oh Henry, get off the phone, I gotta
Hey man, I gotta straighten my face
This mellow thighed chick just put my spine out of place

Hey man, my schooldays insane
Hey man, my work's down the drain
Hey man, well she's a total blam-blam
She said she had to squeeze it but she... then she...

(CHORUS)
Oh don't lean on me man, cause you can't afford the ticket
I'm back on Suffragette City
Oh don't lean on me man
Cause you ain't got time to check it
You know my Suffragette City
Is outta sight...she's all right

Hey man, Henry, don't be unkind, go away
Hey man, I can't take you this time, no way
Hey man, droogie don't crash here
There's only room for one and here she comes, here she comes

CHORUS

Oh hit me!

CHORUS

A Suffragette City, a Suffragette City
I'm back on Suffragette City, I'm back on Suffragette City
Ooo, Sufraggete city, ooo, Suffragette City
Oooh-how, Sufragette City, oooh-how, Sufragette City, oooh-how
Sufragette

Ohhh, Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am!

A Suffragette City, a Suffragette City
Quite all right
A Suffragette City
Too fine
A Suffragette City, ooh, a Sufragette City
Oh, my Sufragette City, oh my Suffragette City
Oh, Suffragette
Suffragette!

Their career dissipated, but they were still a great covers band as well as the singles they gave us.

@Kelly14UK I just had the Welcome To The Pleasuredome albumd playing on my way home in my car. Of course the were a great band! :-)

Actually the FGTH's were the only Holly Johnson. The others were only extras! I have seen in concert and I can say that there was a 'double' for every musician.

Frankie's own interpretation of bowie's song. It worked out well, i love it.
