David Bowie & Pat Metheny Group – This Is Not America lyrics

This is not America, sha la la la la

A little piece of you
The little peace in me
Will die (This is not a miracle)
For this is not America

Blossom fails to bloom
This season
Promise not to stare
Too long (This is not America)
For this is not the miracle

There was a time
A storm that blew so pure
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have
The faintest idea

(For this is not America, sha la la la la, sha la la la la, sha la la la la)
This is not America, no, this is not, sha la la la la

Snowman melting
From the inside
Falcon spirals
To the ground (This could be the biggest sky)
So bloody red
Tomorrow’s clouds

A little piece of you
The little piece in me
Will die (This could be a miracle)
For this is not America

There was a time
A wind that blew so young
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea

(For this is not America, sha la la la la, sha la la la la, sha la la la la)
This is not America, no, this is not, sha la la la
This is not America, no, this is not
This is not America, no, this is not, sha la la la

David Bowie – Ashes To Ashes lyrics

Do you remember a guy that’s been
In such an early song
I’ve heard a rumor 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 the planet is glowing

Ashes to ashes, 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
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”

David Bowie & Mick Jagger – Dancing In The Street lyrics

Ok, talk to you
South america, australia, france, germany, uk, africa

Calling out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat
Summer’s here and the time is right
For dancing in the streets
They’re dancing in chicago
Down in new orleans
In new york city

All we need is music, sweet music
There’ll be music everywhere
They’ll be swinging, swaying, records playing,
Dancing in the street, oh

It doesn’t matter what you wear, just as long as you are there
So come on, every guy, grab a girl, everywhere, around the world
They’ll be dancing, dancing in the street

It’s an invitation across the nation, a chance for folks to meet
They’ll be laughing and singing, music swinging
Dancing in the street

Philadelphia, pa
Baltimore in dc now
Don’t forget the motor city
On the streets of brazil
Back in the ussr
No matter where you are

All we need is music, sweet music
There’ll be music everywhere
They’ll be swinging, swaying, records playing
Dancing in the street, oh

It doesn’t matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on every guy, grab a girl, everywhere, around the world
They’ll be dancing, dancing in the streets

Way down in l.a., everyday
Dancing in the streets
Cross in china too
Me and you
Dancing in the street

Don’t you know
They’ll be dancing
Dancing in the street

David Bowie – Modern Love lyrics

I know when to go out
I know when to stay in
Get things done

I catch the paper boy
But things don’t really change
I’m standing in the wind
But I never wave bye bye
But I try, I try

There’s no sign of life
It’s just the power to charm
I’m lyin’ in the rain
But I never wave bye bye
But I try, I try

Never gonna fall for
Modern love, walks beside me
Modern love, walks on by
Modern love, gets me to
The church on time

Church on time, terrifies me
Church on time, makes me party
Church on time, puts my trust
In God and man

God and man, no confessions
God and man, no religion
God and man, don’t believe
In modern love

It’s not really work
It’s just the power to charm
I’m still standing in the wind
But I never wave bye bye
But I try, I try

Never gonna fall for
Modern love, walks beside me
Modern love, walks on by
Modern love, gets me to
The church on time

Church on time, terrifies me
Church on time, makes me party
Church on time, puts my trust
In God and man

God and man, no confessions
God and man, no religion
God and man, don’t believe
In modern love

Modern love, modern love, modern love
Modern love, modern love, modern love
Modern love, modern love, modern love
Modern love, modern love, modern love

David Bowie – China Girl lyrics

Oh oh oh oh little China girl
Oh oh oh oh little China girl

I could escape this feelin’, with my China girl
I feel a wreck without my, little China girl
I hear her heart beatin’, loud as thunder
Saw the stars crashing

I’m a mess without my little China girl
Wake up in the mornin’ where’s my, little China girl?
I hear our hearts beating, loud as thunder
I saw the stars crashing down

I’m feelin’ 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 white of my eyes

My little China girl you shouldn’t mess with me
I’ll ruin everything you are
You know 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
She says …sh
She says
She says

Oh oh oh ohh
Little China girl
Oh oh oh ohh
Little China girl

David Bowie – Absolute Beginners lyrics

I’ve nothing much to offer
There’s nothing much to take
I’m an absolute beginner
And I’m absolutely sane
As long as we’re together
The rest can go to hell
I absolutely love you
But we’re absolute beginners
With eyes completely open
But nervous all the same

If our love song
Could fly over mountains
Could laugh at the ocean
Just like the films
There’s no reason
To feel all the hard times
To lay down the hard lines
It’s absolutely true

Nothing much could happen
Nothing we can’t shake
Oh we’re absolute beginners
With nothing much at stake
As long as you’re still smiling
There’s nothing more I need
I absolutely love you
But we’re absolute beginners
But if my love is your love
We’re certain to succeed

If our love song
Could fly over mountains
Sail over heartaches
Just like the films
There’s no reason
To feel all the hard times
To lay down the hard lines
It’s absolutely true

David Bowie – Cat People (Putting Out Fire) lyrics

See these eyes so green
I can stare for a thousand years
Colder than the moon
It’s been so long
Feel my love enraged
It’s just the fear of loosing you
Don’t you know my name
You’ve been so long

And I’ve been putting out fire
With gasoline

See these eyes so red
Red like jungle burning bright
Those who feel me near
Pull the blinds and change their minds
It’s been so long

Still this pulsing night
A plague I call a heartbeat
Just be still with me
You wouldn’t believe what I’ve been thru
You’ve been so long
Well it’s been so long

And I’ve been putting out the fire with gasoline
Putting out the fire
With gasoline

See these tears so blue
An ageless heart that can never mend
These tears can never dry
A judgement made can never bend

See these eyes so green
I can stare for a thousand years
Just be still with me
You wouldn’t believe what I’ve been thru

You’ve been so long
Well it’s been so long
And I’ve been putting out fire with gasoline
Putting out fire with gasoline

See these tears so blue
An ageless heart that can never mend
These tears can never dry
A judgement made that can never bend

See these eyes so green
I can stare for a thousand years
Just be still with me
You wouldnt believe what I’ve been thru
It’s been so long
Well its been so long

And I’ve been putting out the fire with gasoline
Putting out fire
With Gasoline

Been so long
Been so long
Well its been so long
Been so long
I’ve been putting out fire
Been so long
And its been so long
Been putting out fire
Well it’s Been so long so long so long
Yes it’s been so long so long so long
I’ve been putting out fire
Been so long so long so long
And putting out fire
Been so long so long so long
Yeah yeah putting out fire
Been so long so long so long
Been putting out fire
Been so long so long so long
Yeah putting out fire
Been so long so long so long
Putting out fire
Been so long so long so long
It’s been so long
Been so long so long so long
It’s been so long
Been so long so long so long
It’s been so long
Been so long so long so long
I’ve been putting out fire
Been so long so long so long

Tina Turner and David Bowie – Tonight lyrics

Everything’s gonna be alright tonight
Everything’s gonna be alright tonight
No one moves, no one grooves
No one talks, no one walks tonight
Tonight

Everyone will be alright tonight
Everyone will be alright tonight
No one moves, no one talks
No one thinks, no one walks tonight
Tonight

I will love you till I reach the end
I will love you till I reach the end
I will love you till I die
I will see you in the sky
Tonight, tonight

Everyone will be alright tonight
Everyone will be alright tonight
No one moves, no one talks
No one thinks, no one walks tonight
Tonight

David Bowie – Let’s Dance lyrics

Let’s dance put on your red shoes and dance the blues

Let’s dance to the song
they’re playin’ on the radio

Let’s sway
while color lights up your face
Let’s sway
sway through the crowd to an empty space

If you say run, I’ll run with you
If you say hide, we’ll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall
Into my arms
And tremble like a flower

Let’s dance for fear
your grace should fall
Let’s dance for fear tonight is all

Let’s sway you could look into my eyes
Let’s sway under the moonlight,
this serious moonlight

If you say run, I’ll run with you
If you say hide, we’ll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall
Into my arms
And tremble like a flower

Let’s dance put on your red shoes
and dance the blues

Let’s dance to the song
they’re playin’ on the radio

Let’s sway you could look into my eyes
Let’s sway under the moonlight,
this serious moonlight

David Bowie and Bing Crosby – Peace On Earth / Little Drummer Boy lyrics

Come they told me pa-ram-pam-pam-pam
A new born king to see pa-ram-pam-pam-pam
Our finest gifts we bring pa-ram-pam-pam-pam
Ra-pam-pam-pam
Ra-pam-pam-pam

Peace on Earth, can it be
Years from now, perhaps we’ll see
See the day of glory
See the day, when men of good will
Live in peace, live in peace again

Peace on Earth
Can it be

Every child must be made aware
Every child must be made to care
Care enough for his fellow man
To give all the love that he can

I pray my wish will come true
For my child and your child too
He’ll see the day of glory
See the day when men of good will
Live in peace, live in peace again

Peace on Earth
Can it be
Can it be
