Glam lyrics. Lady Stardust (Bowie) People stared at the makeup on his face Laughed at his long black hair, his animal grace The boy in the bright blue jeans Jumped up on the stage And lady stardust sang his songs Of darkness and disgrace And he was alright, the band was altogether Yes he was alright, the song went on forever And he was awful nice Really quite out of sight (second time: really quite paradise) And he sang all night long Femme fatales emerged from shadows To watch this creature fair Boys stood upon their chairs To make their point of view I smiled sadly for a love I could not obey Lady stardust sang his songs Of darkness and dismay Oh how I sighed when they asked if I knew his name Starman (Bowie) 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 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 La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la Wagon Wheel (David Bowie - performed by Lou Reed) Won't you be my wagon wheel Won't you tell me, baby, how do you feel Yeah, you got to live, yeah, your life as though you're number one Yeah, you got to live, yeah, your life and make a point of having some fun But if you think that you get kicks from flirting with danger Danger, ooohhh just kick her in head and rearrange her Oh, heavenly father, what can I do what she's done to me is making me crazy Oh, heavenly father, I know I have sinned but look where I've been, it's making me lazy Won't you be my wagon wheel Won't you tell me, baby, how does you feel You got to live, yeah, your life as though you're number one Yeah, you got to live, yeah, your life and make a point of having some fun But if you think that you get kicks from flirting with danger Danger, ooohhh just kick her in head and rearrange her And then why don't you wake me, shake me please don't you let me sleep too long Why don't you wake me, shake me please don't you let me sleep too long Don't wanna miss it now, wake me, shake me, baby please don't you let me sleep too long I wanna know why don't you wake me, shake me please don't you let me sleep too long Why don't you wake me, shake me please don't you let me sleep too long Why, why don't you wake me, shake me please don't you let me sleep too long Why don't you wake me, shake me please don't you let me sleep too long Why, why don't you wake me, shake me please don't you let me sleep too long Strange Ways (Ace Frehley - performed by Kiss) Well, it's a strange way The way you look at me And it's a hard time Time you been givin' me Come on and open up Open up to me So you can realize That I could set you free Strange ways, twisted days Strange ways, twisted days Well, it's a strange place That you've been livin' in And it's a strange line You've been deliverin' I think I like it But I'm not really sure Don't want to fight it Just want to feel some more Strange ways, twisted days Strange ways, twisted days Strange ways, twisted days Strange ways, twisted days Walk On The Wild Side (Lou Reed) Holly came from Miami F.L.A. hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.

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 Oooooo Ziggy played guitaarrrrrr Get It On (Marc Bolan) Well you're dirty and sweet Clad in black Don't look back And I love you You're dirty and sweet oh yea.

Get It On Bang a gong Get It On Get It On Bang a gong Get It On All The Young Dudes (David Bowie) Billy rapped all night 'bout his suicide How he'd kick it in the head when he was 25 Don't wanna stay alive when you're 25 Wendy's stealing clothes from unlocked cars Freddy's got spots from ripping off stars from his face Funky little boat race The television man is crazy Saying we're juvenile delinquent wrecks Man I need a TV when I've got T. Rex Hey brother you guessed I'm a dude All the young dudes Carry the news Boogaloo dudes Carry the news Now Jimmy looking sweet though he dresses like a queen He can kick like a mule It's a real mean team We can love Oh we can love And my brother's back at home With his Beatles and his Stones We never got if off on that revolution stuff What a drag Too many snags Well I drunk a lot of wine And I'm feeling fine Gonna race some cat to bed Is this concrete all around Or is it in my head Oh brother you guessed I'm a dude The Jean Genie (David Bowie) A small Jean Genie snuck off to the city Strung out on lasers and slash back blazers Ate all your razors while pulling the waiters Talking bout Monroe and walking on Snow White New York's a go-go and everything tastes right Poor little Greenie The Jean Genie lives on his back The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls Jean Genie let yourself go! Sits like a man but he smiles like a reptile She loves him, she loves him but just for a short while She'll scratch in the sand, won't let go his hand He says he's a beautician and sells you nutrition And keeps all your dead hair for making up underwear Poor little Greenie He's so simple minded he can't drive his module He bites on the neon and sleeps in the capsule Loves to be loved, loves to be loved Search And Destroy (Pop/Williamson - performed by Iggy Pop) I'm a street walking cheetah with a heart full of napalm I'm a runaway son of the nuclear A-bomb I am a world's forgotten boy The one who searches and destroys Honey gotta help me please Somebody gotta save my soul Baby detonate for me Look out honey, 'cause I'm using technology Ain't got time to make no apology Soul radiation in the dead of night Love in the middle of a fire fight Honey gotta strike me blind Somebody gotta save my soul Baby penerate my mind And I'm the world's forgotten boy The one who's searchin', searchin' to destroy And honey I'm the world's forgotten boyt The one who's searchin', searchin' to destroy Forgotten boy, forgotten boy Forgotten boy said hey forgotten boy Andy's Chest (Lou Reed) If I could be anything in the world that flew I would be a bat and come swooping after you And if the last time you were here things were a bit askew Well, you know what happens after dark When rattlesnakes lose their skins and their hearts And all the missionaries lose their bark Oh, all the trees are calling after you And all the venom snipers after you Are all the mountains boulder after you If I could be any one of the things in this world that bite Instead of a dentured ocelot on a leash I'd rather be a kite And be tied to the end of your string and flying in the air, baby, at night 'Cause you know what they say about honey bears When you shave off all their baby hair You have a hairy minded pink bare bear And all the bells are rolling out for you And stones are all erupting out for you And all the cheap bloodsuckers are flying after you Yesterday, Daisy Mae and Biff were groovin' on the street And just like in a movie her hands became her feet Her belly button was her mouth which meant she tasted what she'd speak, ooohhh But the funny thing is what happened to her nose, ooohhh It grew until it reached all of her toes, ooohhh Now, when people say her feet smell, they mean her nose And curtains laced with diamonds, dear for you And all the Roman noblemen for you And kingdom's Christian soldiers, dear for you And melting ice cap mountains tops for you Oh, oh, and knights in flaming silver robes for you And bats that with a kiss turn prince for you Swoop, swoop, oh, baby, rock, rock Swoop, swoop, rock, rock Swoop, swoop, rock, rock Lady Grinning Soul (David Bowie) She'll come, she'll go. She'll lay belief on you Skin sweet with musky odour The lady from another grinning soul Cologne she'll wear. Silver and Americard She'll drive a beetle car And beat you down at cool Canasta And when the clothes are strewn don't be afraid of the room Touch the fullness of her breast. Feel the love of her caress She will be your living end She'll come, she'll go. She'll lay belief on you But she won't stake her life on you How can life become her point of view And when the clothes are strewn don't be afraid of the room Touch the fullness of her breast. Feel the love of her caress She will be your living end Dandy in the Underworld (Marc Bolan) Prince of Players, pawn of none Born with steel reins on the heart of the sun Gypsy explorer of the New Jersey heights Exalted companion of teenage nights [diff. version has "cocaine nights"] 'Cos he's a Dandy in the Underworld, Dandy in the Underworld When will he come up for air, Oh, will anybody ever care? At an old eighteen, exiled he was To the deserted kingdoms of a mythical Oz Distraction he wanted, to destruction he fell Now he forever stalks the ancient mansions of Hell 'Cos he's a Dandy in the Underworld, Dandy in the Underworld When will he come up for air, Oh, will anybody ever care? Sha-da um-shoo-be-doo, Sha-da um-shoo-bee-doo 'Cos he's a Dandy in the Underworld, Dandy in the Underworld When will he come up for air, Oh, will anybody ever care? Now all of his lovers have left him and his youth's ill spent He cries in the dungeons and tries to repent But change is a monster and changing is hard So he'll freeze away his summers in his underground yard 'Cos he's a Dandy in the Underworld, Dandy in the Underworld When will he come up for air, Oh, will anybody ever care?
