David Bowie – Ashes To Ashes – 1980

    Paroles

    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 it’s 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 never done good things (I never done good things)
    I never done bad things (I never done bad things)
    I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh
    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
