this is one of my favourite bowie songs of all time. it is off of the great
and enigmatic album -diamond dogs-. it post-cedes 1984. bowie is just so
great. but anyway, here we go:
(music starts, bass plays an A note)
don~t talk of dust and roses
or should we powder our noses?
don~t live for last year~s capers
give me steel, give me steel, give me pulses unreal
we~ll build a glass asylum
with just a hint of mayhem
you~ll build a better whirlpool
we~ll be living from sin, then we can really begin
please savior, save your shores
help me, i~m graphically yours
some one to claim us, some one to follow
some one to shame us, some brave apollo
some one to fool us, some one like you
--
we want you big brother, big brother
break:
i know you think you~re awful square
that you~ve made every one and you~ve been everywhere
lord, i~d take an overdose if you knew what~s going down
some one to claim us, some one to follow
some one to shame us, some brave apollo
some one to fool us, some one like you
some one to claim us, some one to follow
some one to shame us, some brave apollo
some one to fool us, some one like you
some one to claim us, some one to follow
some one to shame us, some brave apollo
some one to fool us, some one like you
we want you big brother
(this song submerges into the chant to big brother, which i will not
bye-bye
