"SPACE ODDITY"
Ground Control to Major Tom
take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground Control to Major Tom
commencing countdown, engines on
check ignition and may God's love be with you
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 my tin can
far above the world
planet Earth is blue
and there's nothing I can do
though I'm past one hundred thousand 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, and I'm floating around my tin can
far above the Moon
planet Earth is blue
and there's nothing I can do
THANK YOU!!

"ASHES TO ASHES"
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 to 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 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 better not mess with Major Tom
"LIFE ON MARS?"
it's a God-awful small affair
to the girl with the mousey hair
but her mummy is yelling: "No!"
and her daddy has told her to go
but her friend is no where to be seen
now she walks through her sunken dream
to the seats with the clearest view
and she's hooked to the silver screen
but the film is saddening bore
for she's lived it ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
as I ask you to focus on
sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man!
Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
take a look at the lawman
beating up the wrong guy
Oh man!
wonder if he'll ever know
he's in the best selling show
Is there life on MARS?
It's on America's tortured brow
that Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
now the workers have struck for fame
cause Lennon's on sale again
see the mice in their million hordes
from Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
rule Britannia is out of bounds
to my mother, my dog, and clowns
but the film is a saddening bore
cause I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
as I ask you to focus on
sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man!
look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
take a look at the lawman
beating up the wrong guy
Oh man!
wonder if he'll ever know
he's in the best selling show
Is there LIFE ON MARS?
Thank you
"STAY"
this week dragged past me
so slowly
the days fell on their knees
maybe I'll take something to help me
hope someone takes after me,
I know there's a change in the weather
this time I know we could
get it together
If you would stay here tonight,
that would be crazy tonight
Stay - that's what I meant to say or do something,
but what I never say is stay this time
I really meant to so bad this time
cause you can never really tell,
when somebody wants something you want too
Heart wrecker, heart wrecker,
make me delight
Right is so vague when it brings someone new
This time tomorrow I'll know what to do
I know it's happened to you
Stay - that's what I meant to say or do something,
but what I never say is stay this time
I really meant to so bad this time
cause you can never really tell,
when somebody,
wants something or wants to stay
that's what I meant to say or do something,
but what I never say is stay this time
I really meant to so bad this time
cause you can never really tell,
when somebody,
wants something you want too
you want too
you want too!
real wanna STAY!!
"SOUND AND VISION"
don't you wonder sometimes
about sound and vision
blue, blue, electric blue
that's the colour of my room
where I will live
blue, blue
pale blinds drawn all day
nothing to do, nothing to say
blue, blue
I will sit right down,
waiting for the gift of sound and vision
and I will sing,
waiting for the gift of sound and vision
drifting into my solitude, over my head
don't you wonder sometimes
about sound and vision
"ZIGGY STARDUST"
OH YEAH!!
Ziggy played guitar
jamming good with Weird and Gilly
and the spiders from Mars
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?
OH YEEAAH!!
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!!
now Ziggy played guitar
ZIGGY PLAYED GUITAR!!
"CHINA GIRL"
Oh.....little China girl
I could escape this feeling with my China Girl
I just a mess without my little China Girl
I hear her heart beating loud as thunder
saw these stars crashing down
I'm a mess without my little China Girl
wake up in the morning, where's my little China Girl
I hear her heart's beating loud as thunder
saw these stars crashing down
I feel a-tragic like I'm Marlon Brando
when I look at my China Girl
I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
when I look at my China Girl
I stumble into town just like some sacred cow
visions of swastikas in my head
plans for everyone
It's in the white of my eyes
little China girl
why sould'nt you mess with me
I'll ruin everything you are
YEAH...I'll give you television
I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you men who want to rule the world
and when I get excited
my little China Girl says
Oh baby just you shut your mouth
She says ... sh-sh-shhh
She says ... sh-sh-shhh
and when I get excited
my little China Girl says
Oh baby just you shut your mouth
and when I get excited
my little China Girl says
Oh baby just you shut your mouth
OH......little China Girl
"YOUNG AMERICANS"
they pulled in just behind the bridge
he lays her down, he frowns
"gee my life's a funny thing
Am I still too young? "
He kissed her then and there
She took his ring, took his babies
It took him minutes, took her nowhere
Heaven knows, she'd have taken anything, but
all night
She wants the young american
young american, young american
She wants the young american
all right
she wants the young american
scanning life through the picture windows
she finds the slinky vagabond
he coughs as he passes her ford mustang, but
heaven forbid, she'll take anything
but the freak, and his type, all for nothing
he misses a step and cuts his hand,
showing nothing, he swoops like a song
she cries "; where have all papa's heroes gone? "
all night
she wants the young american
young american, young american
She wants the young american
all right
she wants the young american
all the way from washington
Her bread-winner begs off the bathroom floor
"we live for just these twenty years
Do we have to die for the fifty more? "
all night
she wants the young american
young american, young american
She wants the young american
all right
she wants the young american
do you remember, your president nixon?
do you remember, the bills you have to pay
or even yesterday?
have you been an un-american?
just you and your idol singing falsetto 'bout
leather, leather everywhere, and
not a myth left from the ghetto
well, well, well, would you carry a razor
In case, just in case of depression
sit on your hands on a bus of survivors
blushing at all the afro-sheeners
ain't that close to love?
well, ain't that poster love?
well, it ain't that barbie doll
her heart's been broken just like you have
and all night
you want the young american
young american, young american
you want the young american
all right
you want the young american
you ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler
a pimp's got a cadi and a lady's got a chrysler
black's got respect, and white's got his soul train
mama's got cramps, and look at your hands ache
I heard the news today, oh boy
I got a suite and you got defeat
ain't there a man you can say no more?
and, ain't there a woman I can sock on the jaw?
and, ain't there a child I can hold without judging?
ain't there a pen that will write before they die?
ain't you proud that you've still got faces?
ain't there one damn song
that can make me
"SUFFRAGETTE CITY!!"
Hey man, oh leave me alone you know
Hey man, oh Henry, get off the phone, I gotta
Hey man, I gotta straighten my face
This mellow thighed chick
Just put my spine out of place
Hey man, my schooldays insane
Hey man, my work's down the drain
Hey man, well she's a total blam-blam
She said she had to squeeze it but she... then she...
Oh don't lean on me man
Cause you can't afford the ticket
I'm back on Suffragette City
Oh don't lean on me man
Cause you ain't got time to check it
You know my Suffragette City
Is outta sight...she's all right
Hey man, Henry, don't be unkind, go away
Hey man, I can't take you this time, no way
Hey man, droogie don't crash here
There's only room for one and here she comes
here she comes
Oh don't lean on me man
Cause you can't afford the ticket
I'm back on Suffragette City
Oh don't lean on me man
Cause you ain't got time to check it
You know my Suffragette City
Is outta sight...she's all right
Oh don't lean on me man
Cause you can't afford the ticket
I'm back on Suffragette City
Oh don't lean on me man,
Cause you can't afford the ticket
I'm back on Suffragette City
Is outta sight...she's all right
A Suffragette City!!
Ohhh, Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am!
A Suffragette City!!
Suffragette!!
Suffragette!!
"FAME"
Fame, makes a man take things over
Fame, lets him loose, hard to swallow
Fame, puts you there where things are hollow
Fame
Fame, "Nein! It's mine!" is just his line
To bind your time, it drives you to, crime
Fame
Fame, what you like is in the limo
Fame, what you get is no tomorrow
Fame, what you need you have to borrow
Fame
Fame, it's not your brain, it's just the flame
That burns your change to keep you insane
Fame
Is it any wonder...
Is it any wonder I reject you first?
Fame
Is it any wonder you are too cool to fool
Fame
Fame, bully for you, chilly for me
Got to get a rain check on pain
Fame
Fame
This one is for you""
"HEROES"
I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, will keep us together
We can beat them, just for one day
we can be heroes, just for one day
I, I will be king
And you, you will be my queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be them, just for one day
We can be heroes, just for one day
I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns, shot above our heads  (over our heads)
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)
And the shame, was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, forever and ever
Then we could be heroes, just for one day
We can be HEROES...I SAY
Just for one day
I SAY!!
JUST FOR ONE DAY
WE CAN BE HEROES
God Bless...Thank you!!
"CHANGES"
 
 
I still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets
And every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're going through
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Where's your shame, You've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you can't trace time
Strange fascination, fascinating me
Changes are taking the pace I'm going through
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Pretty soon now you're gonna get older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can't trace time
But I can't trace time
"MODERN LOVE"
I know when to go out
And when to stay in
Get things done
I catch a paper boy
But things don't really change
I'm standing in the wind,
But I never wave goodbye
But I try
I try
There's no sign of life
It's just the power to charm
I'm lying in the rain
But I never wave bye-bye
But I try
I try
Never gonna fall for
(Modern Love) she walks beside me
(Modern Love) walks on by
(Modern Love) gets me to the Church on Time
(Church on Time)... terrifies me
(Church on Time)... makes me party
(Church on Time) puts my trust in God and Man
(God and Man)... no confessions
(God and Man)... no religion
(God and Man)... don't believe
in Modern Love
There's no sign of life
It's just the power to charm
I'm lying in the rain
But I never wave bye-bye
But I try
Yes I try
Never gonna fall for
(Modern Love) walks beside me
(Modern Love) walks on by
(Modern Love) gets me to the Church on Time
(Church on Time)... terrifies me

Modern Love!!
can´t believe

"THE JEAN GENIE"
Oh little 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 19
New York's a go-go 19
and everything tastes right
Poor little Genie
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
...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 Genie
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!
He's so simple minded
he can't drive his module
He bites on the neon and sleeps in the capsule
Oh my God, Loves to be loved
(Oh meu Deus), Loves to be loved
loves to be loved
Her Name is "G..
