David Bowie - Divine Symmetry (rare and unreleased tracks from 1970-1971)

Space Oddity

Ground control to Major Tom

Ground control to Major Tom

Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

Ground control to Major Tom

(10, 9, 8, 7)

Commencing countdown, engines on

(6, 5, 4, 3)

Check ignition, and may God's love be with you

(2, 1, liftoff)

This is ground control to Major Tom,

You've really made the grade

And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear

Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

This is Major Tom to ground control

I'm stepping through the door

And I'm floating in the most peculiar way

And the stars look very different today

For here am I sitting in a tin can

Far above the world

Planet Earth is blue, and there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past 100,000 miles

I'm feeling very still

And I think my spaceship knows which way to go

Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows

Ground control to Major Tom,

Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong

Can you hear me Major Tom?

Can you hear me Major Tom?

Can you hear me Major Tom?

Can you...

Here am I floating round my tin can

Far above the moon

Planet Earth is blue, and there's nothing I can do...

"Olha para mim, estou no céu / Tenho cicatrizes que não podem ser vistas / Olha para mim, estou em perigo / Já não tenho nada a perder.”

Morte de David Bowie.

David Bowie explained how he used 'cut ups' to create lyrics

Blackstar

Blackstar

In the villa of ormen, in the villa of ormen
Stands a solitary candle, ah-ah, ah-ah
In the centre of it all, in the centre of it all
Your eyes

On the day of execution, on the day of execution
Only women kneel and smile, ah-ah, ah-ah
At the centre of it all, at the centre of it all
Your eyes, your eyes

Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah

In the villa of ormen, in the villa of ormen
Stands a solitary candle, ah-ah, ah-ah
In the centre of it all, in the centre of it all
Your eyes
Ah-ah-ah

Something happened on the day he died
Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside
Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried
(I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar)

How many times does an angel fall?
How many people lie instead of talking tall?
He trod on sacred ground, he cried loud into the crowd
(I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar, I’m not a gangster)

I can’t answer why (I’m a blackstar)
Just go with me (I’m not a filmstar)
I’m-a take you home (I’m a blackstar)
Take your passport and shoes (I’m not a popstar)
And your sedatives, boo (I’m a blackstar)
You’re a flash in the pan (I’m not a marvel star)
I’m the great I am (I’m a blackstar)

I’m a blackstar, way up, oh honey, I’ve got game
I see right so white, so open-heart it’s pain
I want eagles in my daydreams, diamonds in my eyes
(I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar)

Something happened on the day he died
Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside
Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried
(I’m a blackstar, I’m a star star, I’m a blackstar)

I can’t answer why (I’m not a gangster)
But I can tell you how (I’m not a flam star)
We were born upside-down (I’m a star star)
Born the wrong way ‘round (I’m not a white star)
(I’m a blackstar, I’m not a gangster
I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar
I’m not a pornstar, I’m not a wandering star
I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar)

In the villa of ormen stands a solitary candle
Ah-ah, ah-ah
At the centre of it all, your eyes
On the day of execution, only women kneel and smile
Ah-ah, ah-ah
At the centre of it all, your eyes, your eyes
Ah-ah-ah

Happy Birthday, David Bowie !
