Paroles de l'album

Shadow Man

There's a man back a-ways
Who believes at where he is
And there's a girl
Up ahead who says she knows

And the street overflows
With folk who understand
For the guy who can't be seen

He's the shadow man
And the shadow man is close at hand

Take a turn and see his smile
Made of nothing but loneliness
Take a walk, be a friend
To the shadow man

You can call him Joe, you can call him Sam
You should call and see who answers
For he promises to come running, guided by the truth
For the shadow man is really you

Look at his highs and see your reflection
Look to the stars and see his eyes
He'll show you tomorrow, he'll show you the sorrow
Of what you did today

You can call him foe, you can call him friend
You should call and see who answers
For he knows your eyes are drawn
To the road ahead
And the shadow man is waiting round the bend
Shadow man
Waiting up ahead
Shadow man
Waiting up ahead (waiting up ahead, waiting up ahead)
Waiting up ahead
Waiting up ahead (waiting up ahead, waiting up ahead)

SUNDAY
Lyrics and music by David Bowie

Nothing remains
We could run when the rain slows
Look for the cars or signs of life
Where the heat goes

Look for the drifters
We should crawl under the bracken
Look for the shafts of light on the road
Where the heat goes
Everything has changed

For in truth, it's the beginning of nothing
And nothing has changed
Everything has changed

For in truth, it's the beginning of an end
And nothing has changed
And everything has changed

(1st voice)
In your fear
Of what we have become
Take to the fire
Now we must burn
All that we are
Rise together
Through these clouds
As on wings

(2nd voice)
In your fear, seek only peace
In you fear, seek only love
In your fear, seek only peace
In you fear, seek only love
In your fear, in your fear
As on wings

This is the trip
And this is the business we take
This is our number
All my trials, Lord
Will be remembered
Everything has changed


CACTUS
Lyrics and music by Frank Black

Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
I put it on when I go lonely
Will you take off your dress and send it to me?

I miss your kissin' and I miss your head
And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead
Just run outside in the desert heat
Make your dress all wet and send it to me

I miss your soup and I miss your bread
And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead
So spill your breakfast and drip your wine
Just wear that dress when you dine

D-A-V-I-D

Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
So bloody your hands on a cactus tree
Wipe it on your dress and send it to me

Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore


SLIP AWAY
Lyrics and music by David Bowie

Oogie waits for just another day
Drags his bones to see the Yankees play
Bones Boy talks and flickers grey
Oh, they slip away

Once a time they nearly might have been
Bones and Oogie on a silver screen
No one knew what they could do
Except for me and you
They slip away
They slip away

Don't forget to keep your head warm
Twinkle, twinkle Uncle Floyd
Watching all the world and war torn
How I wonder where you are?

Sailing over Coney Island
Twinkle, twinkle Uncle Floyd
We were dumb but you were fun, boy
How I wonder where you are?

Oogie knew there's never ever time
Some of us will always stay behind
Down in space it's always 1982
The joke we always knew
Oo-oo

What's the matter with you?
C'mon, let's go
Slip away
Oo-o

Don't forget to keep your head warm
Twinkle, twinkle Uncle Floyd
Watching all the world and war torn
How I wonder where you are?
Oo-o

Sailing over Coney Island
Twinkle, twinkle Uncle Floyd
We were dumb but you were fun, boy
How I wonder where you are?
Oo-o


SLOW BURN
Lyrics and music by David Bowie

Here shall we live in this terrible town
Where the price for our eyes shall squeeze them tight like a fist
And the walls shall have eyes
And the doors shall have ears
But we'll dance in the dark
And they'll play with our lives

Like a Slow Burn
Leading us on and on and on
Like a Slow Burn
Turning us round and round and round
But who are we
So small in times such as these
Slow Burn
Slow Burn

Oh, these are the days
These are the strangest of all
These are the nights
These are the darkest to fall
But who knows?
Echoes in tenement halls
Who knows?
Though the years snare them all

Like a Slow Burn
Leading us on and on and on
Like a Slow Burn
Twirling us round and round and upside down

There's fear overhead
There's fear overground
Slow Burn
Slow Burn
Like a Slow Burn
Leading us on and on and on
Like a Slow Burn
Turning us round and round and round
And here are we
At the centre of it all
Slow Burn
Slow Burn
Slow Burn


AFRAID
Lyrics and music by David Bowie

I wish I was smarter
I got so lost on the shore
I wish I was taller
Things really matter to me
But I put my face in tomorrow
I believe we're not alone
I believe in Beatles
I believe my little soul has grown

And I'm still so afraid
Yes, I'm still so afraid
Yea, I'm still so afraid on my own
On my own

What made my life so wonderful?
What made me feel so bad?
I used to wake up the ocean
I used to walk on clouds
If I put faith in medication
If I can smile a crooked smile
If I can talk on television
If I can walk an empty mile

Then I won't feel afraid
No, I won't feel afraid
I won't be
Be afraid
Anymore


I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU
Lyrics and music by Neil Young

I've been looking, I've been looking, I've been looking, I've been looking.

I've been looking for a woman
To save my life
Not to beg or to borrow
A woman with the feeling of losing once or twice
Who knows how it could be
Be tomorrow?

I've been waiting for you
And you've been coming to me
For such a long time now
For such a long time now

A woman with the feeling of losing once or twice
Who knows how it could be
Be tomorrow?

I've been waiting for you
And you've been coming to me
For such a long time now
For such a long time now
For such a long time now
For such a long time now


I WOULD BE YOUR SLAVE
Lyrics and music by David Bowie

Walking in the snowy streets
Let me understand
Drifting down a silent path
Stumbling over land
Open up your heart to me
Show me who you are
And I would be your slave

Do you sleep in quiet assume?
Do you walk in peace?
Do you laugh out loud at me?
No-one else is free

Open up your heart to me
Show me all you are
And I would be your slave

I don't sit and wait
I don't give a damn
I don't see the point at all
No footprints in the sand
I bet you laugh out loud at me
A chance to strike me down
Give peace of mind at last
Show me all you are
Open up your heart to me
I would be your slave

I don't sit around and wait
I don't give a damn
I don't see the point at all
No footprints in the sand
I'll give you all my love
Nothing else is free
Open up your heart to me
And I would be your slave


GEMINI SPACECRAFT
Lyrics and music by Legendary Stardust Cowboy

I took a trip on a Gemini spacecraft
And I thought about you
I passed through the shadow of Jupiter
And I thought about you

I shot my spacegun
And boy, I really felt blue

Two or three flying saucers
Parked under the stars
The winding stream
Moon shining down
On some little town
And with each beam
The same old dream

I took a trip on a Gemini spacecraft
And I thought about you
I shot my spacegun
And I thought about you

I pulled down my sun visor
Boy, I really felt blue

You jumped into your Gemini
I jumped into mine
We'll orbit the moon
For just one time
Tomorrow night
Tomorrow night
Will you hold hands
With me under the moonlight?

I took a trip in a Gemini spacecraft
And I thought about you
I shot my spacegun
And I thought about you

I took a, I took a walk in space
Boy, I really felt blue
Well, I peeked through the crack
And I looked way back
The stardust trail
Leading back to you
What did I do?
What could I do?
What did I do?
Well.

I thought about you
I thought about you
I took a trip in a Gemini spacecraft
And I thought about you


5.15 THE ANGELS HAVE GONE
Lyrics and music by David Bowie

5:15
I'm changing trains
This little town
Let me down
This foreign rain
Brings me down

5:15
Train overdue
Angels have gone
No ticket
I'm jumping tracks
I'm changing towns
We never talk anymore
Forever I will adore you

5:15
All of my life
Angels have gone
I'm changing trains
Angels like them
Thin on the ground
All of my life
All legs and wings
Shrinks in the ice

5:15
Train overdue
Angels have gone
We never talk anymore
Forever I will adore you
Wrong station
All of my life
Forever I will remember


EVERYONE SAYS HI
Lyrics and music by David Bowie

Said you took a big trip
They said you moved away
Happened oh, so quietly
They say

Should've took a picture
Something I could keep
Buy a little frame
Something cheap
For you
Everyone says hi

Said you sailed a big ship
Said you sailed away
Didn't know the right thing
To say

I'd love to get a letter
Like to know what's what
Hope the weather's good
And it's not too hot
For you
Everyone says hi
Everyone says hi

Everyone says
Don't stay in a sad place
Where they don't care how you are
Everyone says hi

If the money is lousy
You can always come home
We can do the old things
We can do all the bad things

If the food gets you leery
You can always phone
We could do all the good things
We could do it, we could do it, we could do it
Don't stay in a bad place
Where they don't care how you are
Everyone says hi

Everyone says hi
Everyone says hi
(Everyone says hi)
And the girl next door
(Everyone says hi)
And the guy upstairs
(Everyone says hi)
Everyone says hi
(Everyone says hi)
And your mum and dad
(Everyone says hi)
Everyone says hi
(Everyone says hi)
And your big fat dog
(Everyone says hi)
Everyone says hi
(Everyone says hi)


A BETTER FUTURE
Lyrics and music by David Bowie

Please don't tear this world asunder
Please take practice, here and under
I demand a better future
For I just might stop wanting you
I just might stop wanting you

Please make sure we get tomorrow
All this pain and all this sorrow
I demand a better future
For I might just stop needing you
I might just stop needing you

Give my children sunny skies
Give then warm and cloudless skies
I demand a better future
For I just might stop loving you, loving you, loving you

Will you talk?
We'll talk too
Will you walk?
We'll walk too

How fair do you feel?
How many tears must pour?
Tell them it all
Nothing is moving
Oo-oo

I might just stop wanting you
I might just stop needing you
I might just stop loving you
I demand better future
I demand better future
I demand better future

For I might just stop loving you, loving you, loving you
I demand better future
I demand better future
I demand better future

For I might just stop loving you, loving you, loving you
I demand better future

HEATHEN (THE RAYS)
Lyrics and music by David Bowie

Steel on the skyline
Sky made of glass
Made for a real world
All things must pass
Oo-o

Waiting for something
Looking for someone
Is there no reason?
Have I stared too long?
Oo-o, Oo-o

You say you'll leave me
And when the sun is low
And the rays high
I can see it now
I can feel it die
Oo-o, Oo-o


Tout le mérite revient à un certain Baal.
