Lyrics

This book is dedicated to the empty space in my mindBookRix GmbH & Co. KG80331 Munich

A song for Bowie

We’ve watched the ripples,

Expand in his wake,

A living genius,

Who just liked to change?

A human chameleon,

Who would not promise tomorrows rise,

Covered in stardust,

Whose truth destroyed our lies,

Space men came and went,

Then came back again,

Platforms and high heeled boots,

Fashion with a pen,

Red hair and lips of blue,

A cover in lady’s dress,

All the dogs are wearing diamonds,

And the duke is setting trends,

Human chameleon,

Human, has a heart,

Not a rebel just someone,

Who broke the mold from the start?

Human Chameleon,

Human with a change,

Eyes of brown and blue,

Never left our stage,

He sung of ashes,

Laid the spaceman down to rest,

He showed how to modern love,

That some still fear to tread,

CHORUS

His heroes help tear down the walls,

When Aladdin had done his time,

Merry Christmas, the gigolo is feeling fine,

CHORUS  

All for you

I’ve bled myself, bled myself dry,

Rolled over, rolled over and died,

All for you, for you,

I’ve looked away, looked the other way,

Bit my tongue when you’ve had your say,

All for you, for you,

Buried my head, closed my eyes,

Crossed my fingers, as you’ve told your lies,

All for you, for you,

Crossed my heart, although I don’t believe,

Held my head as you blatantly deceive,

All for you, for,

All for you, for you,

Why? I don’t know why,

Goes against all I believe,

Goes against all I despise,

All for you, for you,

Turned my back, yes turned away,

Looked in a direction that was just a blank,

All for you, for you,

I know I should tell your truth,

But all do is for you, for you,

CHORUS

What, what should I do?

What, what should say?

You and you and I,

Can’t go on living this way,

Just for you, for you,

I’ve bled myself, bled myself dry,

Rolled over, rolled over and died,

All for you, for you,

I’ve looked away, looked the other way,

Bit my tongue when you’ve had your say,

All for you, for you,

CHORUS

All I want to feel is you

All I want to feel is special,

As though I’m a special man,

All I want to feel is your love,

The warmth when you take a hold of my hand,

All I want to feel is special,

To be your special man,

Nights, days,

Purple haze,

Smoked filled rooms,

A distant gaze,,

Hopes held down,

Seldom raised,

All I want to feel is you,

All I want to feel is you,

Sounds aloud,

From a distant crowd,

The results are in,

Their feeling proud,

I read her script,

And laughed out loud,

All I want to feel is you,

All I want to feel is you,

CHORUS

I lay awake,

Without a break,

I wait for your sign,

Still I wait,

Take the plunge,

Don’t hesitate,

All I want to feel is you,

All I want to feel is you,

CHORUS

Spot kick,

Somewhere I missed a trick,

I listen for the clock,

Which doesn’t tick?

You’re as hard as stone,

As cool as a brick,

All I want to feel is you,

All I want to feel is you,

And

I spent 3 years, solid women and drinking,

Days gone by,

Couldn’t tell you all their names,

Couldn’t explain what I was thinking?

I’m not proud, no not proud,

I climb the heights to break my fall,

Choices to be made,

Couldn’t walk,

Could only act the fool,

Women in white, women in white,

And

I screamed like a baby,

And

I cried like the rain,

And

I had choices that drove me crazy,

And

I had to find my real name,

I found my real name,

I spent 3 years in a haze,

Life was through a glass and mistakes,

Sam you just happened to get in the way,

You didn’t take me for what I am,

You didn’t see who I am,

Then she came,

She was always there,

She didn’t want anything,

Just wanted me to love her,

And I love her,

CHORUS

3 years lost in drink,

3 years without you,

3 years I couldn’t think,

3 years with whom, with whom?

CHORUS

,

Angelic creature

You came home with straight A’s,

Ahead in all the grades,

On top the class,

They took you dances,

You took all the chances,

They said a natural born,

Superstar,

But no-body knew what you doing,

All the lines your were blowing,

And no-body knew what you did in the dark,

It would have broken their hearts,

You’d apple the teacher,

Angelic creature,

A face of angel with a black heart,

You’d change to stilettoes,

Mini skirt and short clothes,

The streets were where you left,

Your mark,

CHORUS

Turning tricks, cheap tricks,

Would do anything, for a fix,

Just one more line,

You’ll be fine,

Then you will go home,

But you didn’t wake,

They came too late,

Your mother cried, “It’s a mistake”

This isn’t what she wanted to be,

You were laying there, the truth everywhere,

Your straight A’s, disappear,

This isn’t how it should really be,

CHORUS

And now you’re gone,

Your promise faded,

Your certificates are left ungraded,

Nothing like the angelic creature we should see.

Another night in Hollywood

69 and party time,

Another occasion down the line,

Husbands vacant,

But she feels fine,

Friends are all around,

Helter skelter and the rise,

Walls are red,

The screams have died,

A mother won’t see,

Her unborn eyes,

The families gone away,

Evil came to town,

The devil stayed away,

Another night in Hollywood,

Which would never turn to day?

69 and all alone,

The lovers sit, the grocery’s done,

The music plays,

Then it begun,

The family came today,

CHORUS

And then the sun rose,

And all was shown,

Hollywood held in shame,

Just another day,

That would remain,

The devil seeds were sown,

In 69, the devil stopped time,

The fascination started to grow,

Condemned to life,

In the annals of time,

The reasons we will never know,

CHORUS

Asian girl

She’s got eyes,

Such dirty eyes,

She can undress you,

She will see through your lies,

She’s got a smile,

She’s got the look,

She knows just what you’re thinking,

She can read you like a book,

She’s got voice, that holds no bars,

She’s got face so beautiful,

One look and you’re scarred,

Asian girl, Asian girl,

You’re so beautiful,

I wanna be in your world,

Asian girl, Asian girl,

Mystery of the orient,

I wanna be in your world

She’s got innocence,

With which she can deceive,

She has playful thoughts,

You couldn’t conceive,

She could wrap you in chains,

You could never escape,

She could leave you out to dry,

Just walk away,

CHORUS

She’s got eyes,

Such dirty eyes,

She can undress you,

She will see through your lies,

She’s got a smile,

She’s got the look,

She knows just what you’re thinking,

She can read you like a book,

CHORUS

Barefoot girl

Sitting on the beach,

Watching the white horses ride in,

Watching my love fade away,

Then she came and then she came,

Running in bare feet,

With her long black hair,

Smile so sweet,

Then she came and then she came,

Barefoot girl, barefoot girl,

You changed my world,

Changed my world,

I saw something new,

Because of you, because of you,

Barefoot girl, barefoot girl,

I didn’t ask your name,

I didn’t want to know,

But the words you said,

Changed all my goals,

I just can’t explain,

You tore down my barriers and fixed my pain,

Barefoot girl, barefoot girl,

I can remember the few words you said,

They still echo in my head,

When I’m down I think of every phrase,

Then you were gone, you were gone,

CHORUS

Barefoot girl, you came,

Like the wind you went away,

You’re never forgotten,

You made me stay,

Barefoot girl, barefoot girl,

CHORUS

Be alright

Don’t forget your change,

Put in in your pot and save it for a rainy day, (it’ll be alright, it’ll be alright)

All the shops shutters are down,

There’s no-one on the streets,

It’s just a ghost town,

Everyone has gone away,

Don’t listen to the voice,

The words in your head are not your choice, (it’ll be alright, it’ll be alright)

They don’t mean what they say,

There’s no-one left to listen,

Everyone has gone away,

It’ll be alright, it will be alright,

But it just won’t be the same,

It’ll be alright, it will be alright,

Sometimes life has got to change,

It’ll be alright, it will be alright,

Try and understand,

Sometimes the strangest thing can explain the bad, (it’ll be alright, it’ll be alright)

It just might not seem that way,

There’s no-one left to care,

There’s no-one left for being there,

Everyone has gone away,

Don’t grab a hold of what you don’t believe,

Don’t put your trust in what you can’t see, (it’ll be alright, it’ll be alright)

It’ll be alright, just not tonight,

Don’t listen to what you cannot hear,

Don’t face the fight, face your fear,

It’ll be alright, just give it time,

CHORUS

Everyone has gone away,

Everyone has gone away,

It’ll be alright, it’ll be alright

CHORUS
