Oh yeah
Mm Still don't know what I was wating 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 strange) Ch-ch-changes Don't wanna be a richer one Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes (Turn and face the strange) Ch-ch-changes Just gonna have to be a different one 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 strange) Ch-ch-changes Don't tell them to grow up and out of it Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes (Turn and face the strange) 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 strange) Ch-ch-changes Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes (Turn and face the strange) 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 |

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 Amerika'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 Ibeza 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? |

Didn't know what time it was and 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 D.J. that was hazy cosmic jive (CHORUS) 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 CHORUS (x2) La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la (repeat) |

Ziggy played guitar, jamming good with Weird and Gilly
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 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? 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 guitaarrrrrr |

Fame, makes a man take things over Fame, lets him loose, hard to swallow Fame, puts you there where things are hollow Fame Fame, it's not your brain, it's just the flame That burns your change to keep you insane 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, "Nien! It's mine!" is just his line To bind your time, it drives you to, crime Fame Could it be the best, could it be? Really be, really, babe? Could it be, my babe, could it, babe? Really, really? Is it any wonder I reject you first? Fame, fame, fame, fame Is it any wonder you are too cool to fool Fame Fame, bully for you, chilly for me Got to get a rain check on pain Fame Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame Fame, fame, fame Fame What's your name?

Ah
Ah (Doo doo doo doo doo-doo) (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo) 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? |

Do you remember a guy that's been
In such an early song? I've heard a rumour from ground control Oh no, don't say it's true They got a message from the action man: "I'm happy, hope you're happy, too I've loved all I've needed love Sordid details following" The shrieking of nothing is killing just Pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I Ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair But I'm hoping to kick but this planet is glowing, glowing, glowing, glowing, glowing... Ashes to ash and funk to funky We know Major Tom's a junkie Strung out in heaven's high Hitting an all-time low Time and again, I tell myself I'll stay clean tonight But the little green wheels are following me Oh no, not again I'm stuck with a valuable friend I'm happy, hope you're happy, too One flash of light but no smoking pistol I've never done good things I've never done bad things I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh Want an axe to break the ice Wanna come down right now Ashes to ashes, funk to funky We know Major Tom's a junkie Strung out in heaven's high Hitting an all-time low My mother said, "To get things done You'd better not mess with Major Tom" My mother said, "To get things done You'd better not mess with Major Tom" My mother said, "To get things done You'd better not mess with Major Tom" My mother said, "To get things done You'd better not mess with Major Tom" My mother said... |

I could escape this feeling, with my china girl
I feel a wreck without my, little china girl I hear her heart beating, loud as thunder Saw they stars crashing I'm a ness without my, little china girl Wake up mornings where's my, little china girl I hear her heart's beating, loud as thunder Saw they stars crashing down I feel a-tragic like I'm marlon brando When I look at my china girl I could pretend that nothing really meant too much When I look at my china girl I stumble into town just like a sacred cow Visions of swastikas in my head Plans for everyone It's in the whites of my eyes My little china girl You shouldn't mess with me I'll ruin everything you are I'll give you television I'll give you eyes of blue I'll give you a man who wants to rule the world And when I get excited My little china girl says Oh baby just you shut your mouth She says ... sh-sh-shhh |

Thursday's child
Song by David Bowie All of my life I've tried so hard Doing my best with what I had Nothing much happened all the same Something about me stood apart A whisper of hope that seemed to fail Maybe I'm born right out of my time Breaking my life in two Throw me tomorrow oh oh Now that I've really got a chance Throw me tomorrow oh oh Everything's falling into place Throw me tomorrow oh oh Seeing my past to let it go Throw me tomorrow oh oh Only for you I don't regret That I was Thursday's Child Monday Tuesday Wednesday born I was Monday Tuesday Wednesday born I was Sometimes I cried my heart to sleep Shuffling days and lonesome nights Sometimes my courage fell to my feet Lucky old sun is in my sky Nothing prepared me for your smile Lighting the darkness of my soul Innocence in your arms Throw me tomorrow oh oh Now that I've really got a chance Throw me tomorrow oh oh Everything's falling into place Throw me tomorrow oh oh Seeing my past to let it go Throw me tomorrow oh oh Only for you I don't regret That I was Thursday's Child Monday Tuesday Wednesday born I was Thursday's Child Monday Tuesday Wednesday born I was Thursday's Child Monday Tuesday Wednesday born I was Monday Tuesday Wednesday born I was Monday Tuesday Wednesday born I was Monday Tuesday Wednesday born I was |
