Today I have been listening to the classic song Rock N Roll Suicide by David Bowie A LOT! No wait, its a good thing! Id forgotten just how amazing this song is. Right now its really as though Bowie is talking to ME (no Im not having a psychotic episode) as I listen intently to every note, every word and phrase and even breath. One thing that doesnt mean much to me any more is the cigarette - be a year soon since I had my last one. Dont congratulate me congratulate the good folks at Pfizer or whoever who came up with Champix! The version attached from the final proper Ziggy gig and this song being the death of Ziggy is my favourite.... I so wanna know who it is that jumps on stage! Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth You pull on your finger, then another finger, then your cigarette The wall-to-wall is calling, it lingers, then you forget Ohhh, youre a rock n roll suicide Youre too old to lose it, too young to choose it And the clock waits so patiently on your song You walk past a cafe but you dont eat when youve lived too long Oh, no, no, no, youre a rock n roll suciide Chev brakes are snarling as you stumble across the road But the day breaks instead so you hurry home Dont let the sun blast your shadow Dont let the milk float ride your mind Youre so natural - religiously unkind Oh no love! youre not alone Youre watching yourself but youre too unfair You got your head all tangled up but if I could only make you care Oh no love! youre not alone No matter what or who youve been No matter when or where youve seen All the knives seem to lacerate your brain Ive had my share, Ill help you with the pain Youre not alone Just turn on with me and youre not alone Lets turn on with me and youre not alone Lets turn on and be not alone Gimme your hands cause youre wonderful Gimme your hands cause youre wonderful Oh gimme your hands.
