DAVID BOWIE

THE SINGLES COLLECTION CD 1

1. SPACE ODDITY

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

Ten, nine, eight
Ground Control to Major Tom
Seven, six, five
Commencing countdown, engines on
Four, three, two, one, lift off
Check ignition and may God's love be with you

This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows

Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you.... "Here am I floating round my tin can
Far above the moon
Planet earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do."

2. CHANGES

Oh yeah

Mm

Still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets and
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strain
Ch-ch-changes
Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strain
Ch-ch-changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time

I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strain
Ch-ch-changes
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strain
Ch-ch-changes
Where's your shame
You've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you can't trace time
Strange fascination, fascinating me
Ah changes are taking the pace I'm going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strain
Ch-ch-changes
Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strain
Ch-ch-changes
Pretty soon now you're gonna get a little older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can't trace time.

3. STARMAN

Goodbye love

Didn't know what time it was the lights were low
I leaned back on my radio
Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll 'lotta soul
He said
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
That weren't no DJ that was hazy cosmic jive

There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie

I had to phone someone so I picked on you
Hey, that's far out so you heard him too!
Switch on the TV we may pick him up on Channel Two
Look out your window, I can see his light
If we can sparkle he may land tonight
Don't tell your poppa, or he'll get us locked up in fright

There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie

Starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la (12 x).

4. ZIGGY STARDUST

Oh

Oooh yeah

Ah

Ziggy played guitar, jamming good with Weird and Gilly
And The Spiders from Mars, he played it left hand
But made it too far
Became the special man, then we were Ziggy's band

Ziggy really sang, screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo
Like some cat from Japan, he could lick 'em by smiling
He could leave 'em to hang
They came on so loaded man, well hung and snow white tan

So where were The Spiders while the fly
Tried to break our balls
Just the beer light to guide us
So we bitched about his fans
And should we crush his sweet hands?
Oh

Ooh oh

Ziggy played for time, jiving us that we were voodoo
The kids were just crass, he was the nazz
With God given ass
He took it all too far, but boy, could he play guitar

Making love with his ego
Ziggy sucked up into his mind
Like a leper messiah
When the kids had killed the man
I had to break up the band

Oh yeah

Ooooooo

Ziggy played guitar.

5. SUFFRAGETTE CITY

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 schoolday's 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... and then she...
Oh, don't lean on me man, 'cause you can't afford the ticket
I'm back from 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
Ah 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
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

Oh hit me!

Oh, don't lean on me man, 'cause you can't afford the ticket
I'm back from Suffragette City
Oh, don't lean on me man
'Cause you ain't got time to check it
You know my Suffragette City
Don't lean on me man, 'cause you can't afford the ticket
I'm back from 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

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, Suffragette City, oooh-how, Suffragette

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 Suffragette City
Oh, my Suffragette City
Oh, my Suffragette City
Oh, Suffragette
Suffragette!

6. JOHN, I'M ONLY DANCING

Well, Annie's pretty neat, she always eats her meat
Joe is awful strong, bet your life he's putting us on
Oh lordy, oh lordy, you know I need some loving
Oh move me, touch me

John, I'm only dancing
She turns me on, but I'm only dancing
She turns me on, but don't get me wrong
I'm only dancing

Oh shadow love was quick and clean
Life's a well-thumbed machine
I saw you watching from the stairs
You're everyone that ever cared
Oh lordy, oh lordy, you know I need some loving
Move me, touch me

John, I'm only dancing
She turns me on, but I'm only dancing
She turns me on, but don't get me wrong
I'm only dancing

John, I'm only dancing
She turns me on, but I'm only dancing
She turns me on, but don't get me wrong
I'm only dancing

Dancing
Won't someone dance with me?
Touch me
Ohhh!

7. THE JEAN GENIE

A small Jean Genie snuck off to the city
Strung out on lasers and slash back blazers
And ate all your razors while pulling the waiters
Talking 'bout Monroe and walking on Snow White
New York's a go-go and everything tastes nice
Poor little Greenie, woh ho
Get back home

The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls
Jean Genie, let yourself go!

Sits like a man but he smiles like a reptile
She love him, she love him, but just for a short while
She'll scratch in the sand, won't let go his hand
He says he's a beautician and sells you nutrition
And keeps all your dead hair for making up underwear
Poor little Greenie, woh ho

The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls
Jean Genie, let yourself go oh

He's so simple minded he can't drive his module
He bites on the neon and sleeps in the capsule
Loves to be loved, loves to be loved
Woh ho
Woh ho

Aoo Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
And he's outrageous, he screams and he bawls
The Jean Genie, let yourself go! Go

Go

Jean Genie lives on his back
Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls
Jean Genie, let yourself go woh go
Go go.

8. DRIVE IN SATURDAY

Uh uh aaah
Let me put my arms around your head
Dom du aaah
Gee, it's hot, let's go to bed
Don't forget to turn on the light
Don't laugh babe, it'll be alright
Dom du aaah
Pour me out another phone
Dom du aaah
I'll ring and see if your friends are home
Perhaps the strange ones in the dome
Can lend us a book we can read up alone
And try to get it on like once before
When people stared in Jagger's eyes and scored
Like the video films we saw

His name was always Buddy
Got got du aaah aah aah
And he'd shrug and ask to stay
She'd sigh like Twig the Wonder Kid
Got got du aaah
And turn her face away
She's uncertain if she likes him
Got got du aaah aah aah
But she knows she really loves him
It's a crash course for the ravers
Got got du aaah
It's a Drive-in Saturday

Jung the foreman prayed at work
Dom du aaah
Neither hands nor limbs would burst
It's hard enough to keep formation
With this fall out saturation
Bah dom bah
Cursing at the Astronette
Dom du aaah
Who stands in steel by his cabinet
He's crashing out with Sylvian
The Bureau Supply for ageing men
With snorting head he gazes to the shore
Once had raised a sea that raged no more
Like the video films we saw

His name was always Buddy
Got got du aaah aah aah
And he'd shrug and ask to stay
She'd sigh like Twig the Wonder Kid
Got got du aaah
And turn her face away

She's uncertain if she likes him
Got got du aaah aah aah
But she knows she really loves him
It's a crash course for the ravers
Got got du aaah
It's a Drive-in Saturday

His name was always Buddy
Got got du aaah aah aah
And he'd shrug and ask to stay
She'd sigh like Twig the Wonder Kid
Got got du aaah
And turn her face away
She's uncertain if she likes him
Got got du aaah aah aah
But she knows she really loves him
It's a crash course for the ravers
Got got du aaah
It's a Drive-in Saturday, yeah, yeah

Drive-in Saturday
It's a Drive-in Saturday
It's a Drive-in Saturday
Drive-in Saturday
It's a Drive-in Saturday
It's a, it's a, it's a Drive-in Saturday
It's a Drive-in Saturday
It's a, it's a, it's a, yes sir, yes sir
Yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir
It's a Drive-in Saturday
Dom du du du, dom du du du
It's a Drive-in Saturday
Dom du du da, dom du du da.

9. LIFE ON MARS?

It's a God-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling "No"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on

Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on

Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

10. SORROW

With your long blonde hair and your eyes of blue
The only thing I ever got from you was sorrow
Sorrow
You acted funny trying to spend my money
You're out there playing your high class games of sorrow
Sorrow

You never do what you know you oughta
Something tells me you're a devil's daughter
Sorrow, sorrow
Ahhhh, oo, oooo

I tried to find her
'Cause I can't resist her
I never knew just how much I missed her
Sorrow
Sorrow

With your long blonde hair and your eyes of blue
The only thing I ever got from you was sorrow
Sorrow
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, ho-ho

With your long blonde hair
I couldn't sleep last night
With your long blonde hair

Hu hu hu
Hu hu hu yeah
Hu hu hu
Hu hu hu yeah
Hu hu hu
Hu hu hu.

11. REBEL REBEL

Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo

You've got your mother in a whirl
She's not sure if you're a boy or a girl
Hey babe, your hair's alright
Hey babe, let's go out tonight
You like me and I like it all
We like dancing and we look divine
You love bands when they're playing hard
You want more and you want it fast
They put you down, they say I'm wrong
You tacky thing, you put them on

Rebel rebel, you've torn your dress
Rebel rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel rebel, how could they know?
Hot tramp, I love you so!

Don't ya?

Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo

You've got your mother in a whirl 'cause she's
Not sure if you're a boy or a girl
Hey babe, your hair's alright
Hey babe, let's stay out tonight
You like me, and I like it all
We like dancing and we look divine
You love bands when they're playing hard
You want more and you want it fast
They put you down, they say I'm wrong
You tacky thing, you put them on

Rebel rebel, you've torn your dress
Rebel rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel rebel, how could they know?
Hot tramp, I love you so!

Don't ya?
Oh?

Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo

Rebel rebel, you've torn your dress
Rebel rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel rebel, how could they know?
Hot tramp, I love you so!

You've torn your dress, your face is a mess
You can't get enough, but enough ain't the test
You've got your transmission and your live wire
You got your cue line and a handful of ludes
You wanna be there when they count up the dudes
And I love your dress
You're a juvenile success
Because your face is a mess
So how could they know?
I said, how could they know?
So what you wanna know
Calamity's child, chi-chile, chi-chile
Where'd you wanna go?
What can I do for you? Looks like you've been there too
'Cause you've torn your dress
And your face is a mess
Oh, your face is a mess
Oh, oh, so how could they know?
Eh, eh, how could they know?
Eh, eh.

12. ROCK & ROLL SUICIDE

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 how how how, you're a rock 'n' roll suicide

You're too old to lose it, too young to choose it
And the clocks waits so patiently on your song
You walk past a cafe but you don't eat
When you've lived too long
Oh, no, no, no, you're a rock 'n' roll suicide

Chev brakes are snarling as you stumble across the road
But the day breaks instead so you hurry home
Don't let the sun blast your shadow
Don't let the milk float ride your mind
You're so natural, religiously unkind

Oh no love! You're not alone
You're watching yourself but you're too unfair
You got your head all tangled up
But if I could only make you care
Oh no love! you're not alone
No matter what or who you've been
No matter when or where you've seen
All the knives seem to lacerate your brain
I've had my share, I'll help you with the pain
You're not alone

Just turn on with me and you're not alone
Let's turn on with me and you're not alone, wonderful
Let's turn on and be not alone, wonderful
Gimme your hands 'cause you're wonderful
Gimme your hands 'cause you're wonderful, wonderful
Oh gimme your hands.

13. DIAMOND DOGS

This ain't rock 'n' roll. This is genocide!

As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent
You asked for the latest party
With your silicone hump and your ten inch stump
Dressed like a priest you was
Tod Browning's freak you was

Crawling down the alley on your hands and knee
I'm sure you're not protected, for it's plain to see
The diamond dogs are poachers and they hide behind trees
Hunt you to the ground they will, mannequins with kill appeal

Will they come?
I'll keep a friend serene
Will they come?
Oh baby, come unto me
Will they come?
Well, she's come, been and gone
Come out of the garden, baby
You'll catch your death in the fog
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs

The Halloween Jack is a real cool cat
And he lives on top of Manhattan Chase
The elevator's broke, so he slides down a rope
Onto the street below, oh Tarzie, go man go

Meet his little hussy with his ghost town approach
Her face is sans feature, but she wears a Dali brooch
Sweetly reminiscent, something mother used to bake
Wrecked up and paralysed, Diamond Dogs are sableised

Will they come?
I'll keep a friend serene
Will they come?
Oh baby, come unto me
Will they come?
Well, she's come, been and gone
Come out of the garden, baby
You'll catch your death in the fog
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs

Oo-oo-ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs
Oo-oo-ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs

In the year of the scavenger, the season of the bitch
Sashay on the boardwalk, scurry to the ditch
Just another future song, lonely little kitsch
There's gonna be sorrow
Try and wake up tomorrow

Will they come?
I'll keep a friend serene
Will they come?
Oh baby, come unto me
Will they come?
Well, she's come, been and gone
Come out of the garden, baby
You'll catch your death in the fog
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs

Oo-oo-ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs
Oo-oo-ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs
Bow-wow, woof woof, bow-wow, wow
Call them the Diamond Dogs
Dogs
Call them the Diamond Dogs, call them, call them
Call them the Diamond Dogs, call them, call them, ooo
Call them the Diamond Dogs

Keep cool
Diamond Dogs rule, OK

Hey-hey-hey-hey

Beware of the Diamond Dogs (5 x).

14. KNOCK ON WOOD

I don't want to lose, the good thing, that I've got
If I do, I will surely, I will lose a lot
For your love is better, than any love other I've known
It's like thunder, lightning
The way you love me is frightening
I better knock on wood
Baby

I got superstitious, about you, but I can't take change
You got me spinning, baby, spinning in a trance
But your love is better, than any other love I've known
It's like thunder, lightning
The way you love me is frightening
You better knock on wood

It's no secret, but that woman, fills my lovin' cup
She sees, so ready, that I get enough
And her love is better, than any other love I've known
It's like thunder
It's like lightning
The way you love me is frightening
I better knock on wood
Baby

Better, yes, better
Yes, you better knock, knock, knock on wood
Yes, I better
Yes you better knock, knock, knock on wood
Oh, knock on wood
Yes, you better knock, knock, knock on wood
You know I would, would
Yes you better knock, knock, knock on wood
It's no secret
Yes you better knock, knock, knock on wood
No, oh, better
Yes you better knock, knock, knock on wood
Hangin' above me
Yes you better knock, knock, knock on wood
I can't leave her
Yes you better knock, knock, knock on wood
Oh no, baby

Knock on wood, woo!

15. YOUNG AMERICANS

They pulled in just behind the fridge
He lays her down, he frowns
"Gee, my life's a funny thing, am I still too young?"
He kissed her then and there
She took his ring, took his babies
It took him minutes, took her nowhere
Heaven knows, she'd have taken anything, but

All night
She wants the young American
Young American, young American, she wants the young American
All right
She wants the young American

Scanning life through the picture windows
She finds the slinky vagabond
He coughs as he passes her Ford Mustang, but
Heaven forbid, she'll take anything
But the freak and his type, all for nothing
He misses a step and cuts his hand, but
Showing nothing, he swoops like a song
She cries "Where have all papa's heroes gone?"

All night
She wants the young American
Young American, young American, she wants the young American
All right
She wants the young American

All the way from Washington
Her bread-winner begs off the bathroom floor
"We live for just these twenty years
Do we have to die for the fifty more?"

All night
He wants the young American
Young American, young American, he wants the young American
All right
He wants the young American

Do you remember, your president Nixon?
Do you remember, the bills you have to pay
Or even yesterday

Have you been an un-American?
Just you and your idol singing falsetto 'bout
Leather, leather everywhere and
Not a myth left from the ghetto
Well, well, well, would you carry a razor
In case, just in case of depression
Sit on your hands on a bus of survivors
Blushing at all the afro-Sheilas
Ain't that close to love?
Well, ain't that poster love?
Well, it ain't that Barbie doll
Her heart's been broken just like you have

And
All night
You want the young American
Young American, young American, you want the young American
All right
You want the young American

You ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler
A pimp's got a Cadi and a lady got a Chrysler
Black's got respect, and white's got his soul train
Mama's got cramps, and look at your hands ache
I heard the news today, oh boy
I got a suite and you got defeat
Ain't there a man you can say no more?
And, ain't there a woman I can sock on the jaw?
And, ain't there a child I can hold without judging?
Ain't there a pen that will write before they die?
Ain't you proud that you've still got faces?
Ain't there one damn song that can make me
Break down and cry?

All night
I want the young American
Young American, young American, I want the young American
All right
I want the young American
Young American
Young American, young American, I want the young American
I want with you, I want with you want
All right
You want it, I want you, you, you want I, I want you want
Young American, young American, I want the young American
I want to, want to, want to, want to, want, I, I want you
All right
Lord I wanted the young American
Young American
Young American, young American
I want the young American
Mmmmmm mmm.

16. FAME

Fame, makes a man take things over
Fame, lets him loose, hard to swallow
Fame, puts you there where things are hollow
Fame
Fame

Fame, it's not your brain, it's just the flame
That burns your change to keep you insane
Fame
Fame

Fame, what you like is in the limo
Fame, what you get is no tomorrow
Fame, what you need you have to borrow
Fame
Fame

Fame, "Nien! It's mine!" is just his line
To bind your time, it drives you to, crime
Fame
Fame

Could it be the best, could it be?
Really be, really, babe?
Could it be, my babe, could it, babe?
Could it, babe? Could it, babe?

Is it any wonder I reject you first?
Fame
Fame
Fame, fame
Is it any wonder you are too cool to fool
Fame
Fame

Fame, bully for you, chilly for me
Got to get a rain check on pain
Pain
Fame
Fame

Fame (24 x)
What's your name?

Feeling so gay, feeling gay.

17. GOLDEN YEARS

Golden years... gold, oh, ho, wah, wah, wah (3 x)

Don't let me hear you say life's taking you nowhere, angel
Come ba-ba-ba-baby
Look at that sky, life's begun
Nights are warm and the days are young
Come ba-ba-ba-baby

There's my baby, lost that's all
Once I'm begging you save her little soul
Golden years... gold, oh, ho, wah, wah, wah
Come ba-ba-ba-baby

Last night they loved you
Opening doors and pulling some strings, angel
Come ba-ba-ba-baby
In walked luck and you looked in time
Never look back, walk tall, act fine
Come ba-ba-ba-baby

I'll stick with you baby for a thousand years
Nothing's gonna touch you in these golden years... gold
Golden years... gold, oh, ho, wah, wah, wah
Come ba-ba-ba-baby

Some of these days and it won't be long
Gonna drive back down where you once belonged
In the back of a dream car twenty foot long
Don't cry, my sweet, don't break my heart
Doing all right, but you gotta get smart
Wish upon, wish upon day upon day, I believe, oh lord
I believe all the way
Come ba-ba-ba-baby
Run for the shadows... run for the shadows
Run for the shadows in these golden years

There's my baby, lost that's all
Once I'm begging you save her little soul
Golden years... gold, oh, ho, wah, wah, wah
Come ba-ba-ba-baby

Don't let me hear you say life's taking you nowhere, angel
Come ba-ba-ba-baby
Run for the shadows... run for the shadows
Run for the shadows in these golden years

I'll stick with you, baby, for a thousand years
Nothing's gonna touch you in these golden years... gold
Golden years... gold, oh, ho, wah, wah, wah.

Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh (3 x)

Oh
Up every evening 'bout half eight or nine
I give my complete attention to a very good friend of mine
He's quadraphonic, he's a, he's got more channels
So hologramic, oh my T V C one five
I brought my baby home, she, she sat around forlorn
She saw my T V C one five, and then baby's gone, she
She crawled right in, oh my
She crawled right in my
So hologramic, oh my T V C one five
Oh, so demonic, oh my T V C one five

Maybe if I pray every, each night I sit there pleading
"Send back my dream test baby, she's my main feature"
My T V C one five, he, he just stares back unblinking
So hologramic, oh my T V C one five
One of these nights I may just
Jump down that rainbow way, be with my baby, then
We'll spend some time together
So hologramic, oh my T V C one five
My baby's in there someplace, love's rating in the sky
So hologramic, oh my T V C one five

19. SOUND & VISION

Ahhh...

Ahhh...

Doo, doo, doo, do-doh
Doo, doo, doo, doo doo do-doh

Don't you wonder sometimes
About sound and vision

Blue, blue, electric blue
That's the colour of my room
Where I will live
Blue, blue

Pale blinds drawn all day
Nothing to do, nothing to say
Blue, blue

I will sit right down
Waiting for the gift of sound and vision
And I will sing, waiting for the gift of sound and vision
Drifting into my solitude, over my head
Don't you wonder sometimes
About sound and vision.
