DAVID BOWIE
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I bless you sadly, madly as I tie my shoes
2
I love you badly, just in time, at times, I guess
3
Because of you I need to rest
4
Because it's you that sets the test
5
So much has gone and little is new
6
And as the sparrow sings
7
Dawn chorus for someone else to hear
8
The thinker sits alone growing older and so bitter
9
I gave them life, I gave them all
10
They drained my very soul dry
11
I crushed my heart to ease their pains
12
No thought for me remains there
13
Nothing do they care, what of me?
14
Who praised their efforts to be free?
15
The words of care and strength and sympathy
16
I opened doors that would have blocked their way
17
Braved their cause to guide for little pay
18
Ravaged at my finance just for those
19
Those who said [Incomprehensible] for me
20
Those who promised [Incomprehensible] faith in me
21
Those who's promised [Incomprehensible] tranquility
22
I bless you madly, sadly as I tie my shoes
23
I love you badly, just in time, at times, I guess
24
Because of you I need to rest, oh yeah
25
Because it's you that sets the test
26
So much has gone and little is new
27
And as the sunrise stream flickers on me
28
My friends talk of glory, untold dream
29
Where all is God and God is just a word
30
We had a friend, a talking man
31
He spoke of many powers he had
32
Not of the best of men but ours
33
We used him, let him use his powers
34
We let him fill our needs, now we are strong
35
And the road is coming to its end
36
Now the damned have no time to make amends
37
No purse of token fortune stands in our way
38
Our silent guns of love will blast the sky
39
We crush [Incomprehensible]
40
And our weapons, where are the tongues of crying rage?
41
Where money stood, we planted seeds of rebirth
42
And we stabbed the backs of fathers, sons of dirt
43
Infiltrated business cesspools
44
Hating through our sleeves
45
Yeah, and we slit the catholic throat
46
Stoned the poor on slogans such as
47
"Wish you could hear, love is all we need"
48
Kick out the jams and kick out your mother
49
Cut up your friend and screw up your brother
50
Or he'll get you in the end
51
And we know the flag of love is from above
52
We can force you to be free
53
We can force you to believe
54
And I close my eyes and tighten up my brain
55
For I once read a book in which the lovers were slain
56
For they knew not the words of the free states' refrain
57
It said
58
"I believe in the power of good
59
I believe in the state of love
60
I will fight for the right to be right
61
I will kill for the good of the fight, for the right to be right"
62
And I open my eyes to look around
63
And I see a child laid slain on the ground
64
As a love machine lumbers through desolation rows
65
Ploughing down man, woman, listening to its command
66
But not hearing anymore, not hearing anymore
67
Just the shrieks from the old rich
68
And I want to believe in the madness that calls now
69
And I want to believe there's a light shining through somehow
70
And I want to believe, and you want to believe
71
And we want to believe, and we want to live
72
We want to live, we want to live
73
I want to live, oh, I want to live
74
I want to live, I want to live
75
Live, live
