I loved the looks, the songs, and the sounds, but I think above all I loved the poetry… Here’s my top 30 lyrics…
1 “Golden Years”
Last night they loved you opening doors and pulling some strings, Angel
2 “Under Pressure”
Keep coming up with love, but it’s so slashed and torn
3 “Life On Mars?”
It’s a godawful small affair
4 “Man Who Sold the World”
Who knows, not me, I never lost control, you’re face, to face, with the man who sold the world
5 “Ashes To Ashes”
My mother said, to get things done, you better not mess with Major Tom
6 “Lady Stardust”
I smiled sadly for a love I could not obey, Lady Stardust sang his songs of darkness and dismay
7 “After All”
Please treat them gently they don’t like to fall
8 “Drive In Saturday”
Pour me out another phone
9 “Starman”
Waiting in the sky he’d like to come and meet us but he thinks he’d blow our minds
10 “Boys Keep Swinging”
They’ll never clone ya, you’re always first on the line, when you’re a boy
11 “Rebel Rebel”
Hot tramp I love you so
12 “Always Crashing In The Same Car”
Oh, but I’m
13 “Diamond Dogs”
Just another future song for lonely little kids
14 “We Are The Dead”
Like a portrait in flesh that trails on a leash
15 “Lady Grinning Soul”
She’ll come, she’ll go, she’ll lay belief on you
16 “Jean Genie”
Keeps all your dead hair for making up underwear
17 “TVC15”
Transmission, Transition
18 “Fashion”
beep beep
19 “Scary Monsters”
She began to wail jealousies scream, Waiting at the light, know what I mean
20 “Beauty and The Beast”
Someone fetch a priest
21 “Heroes”
I, I wish I could swim like dolphins, like dolphins can swim
22 “Sound And Vision”
Blue, blue, electric blue that’s the color of my room where I will live
23 “Five Years”
News guy wept and told us, Earth was really dying
24 “All The Young Dudes”
Television man is crazy, says we’re all delinquent wrecks. Oh, man, I need TV when I got T. Rex
25 “Time”
Time, he flexes like a whore, Falls wanking to the floor
26 “Rock and Roll Suicide”
The water wall is calling, it lingers, and you forget
27 “The Laughing Gnome”
Now they’re staying up the chimney, and we’re living in caviar and honey – hooray! – and they’re making me lots of money writing comedy prose for radio shows
28 “Andy Warhol”
Looks a scream, hang him on my wall
29 “Prettiest Star”
All because of what you are
30 “Fame”
Puts you there where things are hollow
